Former President Barack Obama cautioned against ignoring the complexities of the Israel-Hamas war, warning that “all of us are complicit.”

“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he said in an excerpted interview with Pod Save America released Saturday.

    ignoring the complexities of the Israel-Hamas war,

    What “complexities”? There is absolutely nothing “complex” about white supremacist settler-colonialism. End of story.

    What “Israel-Hamas war”? Israel has been waging war on Palestinians since 1949 - long before Hames existed.

    Fuck Barack “No We Can’t!” Obama and his lib blame-shifting bullshittery.

        Which part of…

        lib blame-shifting bullshittery

        …didn’t you get the first time around?

        Do tell… do you hide behind this (alleged) “complexity” when the subject of Apartheid-South Africa comes up? Or the Antebellum South, perhaps?

            Oh, look… a liberal is upset that their vaunted “enlightened centrism” turned out to be nothing more than camouflaged right-wing ideology with a smiley face.

            Do what all right-wingers do when exposed - snort copium and run for the next big lie, okay?

      It’s a rarity to see someone with their head so far up their own ass as to say something like that and be completely serious.

        Oh look… more people hiding their support for white supremacist settler-colonialism behind (alleged) “complexities.”

        I’d say that if you are finding it difficult to see someone with their head up their own ass you should try shoving a mirror where the sun don’t shine - it’s not going to work for you any other way.

        Funny you should pick an arbitrary year

        Oh, people didn’t take kindly to a white supremacist settler-colonial state being foisted on them?

        You don’t say.

                “Jew supremacists”

                Where do you think Jewish Zionism got it’s ideas on racialized supremacy from? The antisemitic and white supremacist Christians that invented Zionism in the first place, maybe?

                but why conflate them with a totally different group of fascists?

                Because it’s just a different flavor of the exact same ideology, maybe?

                    From the Tanakh

                    You wanna blame Jewish people for inventing white supremacism? Hold on while I fetch the popcorn for this one… your little right-wing logic pretzel is about to go full Chernobyl.

                    palestinians

                    Do you see Palestinians waging genocidal settler-colonialism in Kenya, perhaps? Or New Zealand, maybe?
