Former President Barack Obama said a way forward for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is only possible if people acknowledge the “complexity” of the situation.

“If there’s any chance of us being able to act constructively to do something, it will require an admission of complexity and maintaining what on the surface may seem contradictory ideas that what Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it. And … that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable,” Obama said in an interview on the podcast “Pod Save America.”

The former president’s comments come as the Israeli military focuses its offensive against Hamas in Gaza City and northern parts of the enclave.

    Of course. Those kids in refugee camps, hospitals and ambulances have their hands soaked in blood.

      The ones after the 7th of October, they did for sure. Palestinians right now, yes they too. Like Obama said NOBODY has clean hands here, but you don’t like that opinion here, do you?

                  😂 not my problem you didn’t get any love and now have to be rude on the internet. And keep in mind I just expressed my oppinion on this conflict and he started the insults on me, so forgive me if I don’t give a fuck about him or you because you decide to join this bullshit. I really hope the mods join in and remove this crap here asap.
