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.

    In a complete shock to everyone, the guy with the tankie name is all for the deaths of innocent civilians

    At least they wear it like a badge of honor, making it easy to identify and ignore them

      He’s ready to hunt down the baby settlers and run them over with a T-90

        We should give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he’s only advocating for the ~25% (2m people or so) of the Israeli civilian population that’s not native born to be killed? Or maybe only the ~500k Israeli civilians who are >75 years old that were alive to see the 1948 war and creation of the state? Maybe some combination of the two? Surely a tankie can’t be advocating for the genocide of an entire nation?

        Edit: Oh he messaged me instead of replying? Not sure if that was on accident but:

        settlers aren’t civilians, only settlers think they’re civilians

        and you are definitely so good at ignoring when you reply to my comment

        you libs are a joke and a half ill tell ya

        No no, you misunderstand me, when I say “ignore” I only mean disregard your opinions, there’s no way I’d miss out on pointing and laughing with everyone else at the genocidal tankies, we have to make sure nobody around here thinks it’s an appropriate opinion to have
