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.

    Funny they never say this kinda shit or act upon it when they have any actual power. Like Eisenhower and his military industrial complex speech.

      It’s also pretty rich coming from guy who thought drone collateral was not a problem in Afghanistan.

      He’s lucky we wasn’t president during the last time there was a huge Israeli-Palestinian blowout, otherwise he’d have a 1:1 comparison with Biden.

        Voluntarily releasing reports on civilian casualties doesn’t seem like they thought it wasn’t a problem

          “Sorry everyone, look how bad we are. We killed all these people, and we’re going to kill more. Aren’t we bad?”

          That doesn’t really show any concern.

      when they have any actual power

      Spoiler: they don’t. Elected presidents can’t speak against whoever would successfully lobby to impeach them.
