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.
I’m a leftist and I agree with him. Sure, obama wasn’t as bad as Bush or Reagan, but he was still pretty shit.
I judge by results, and he’s right that even trump was better on foreign policy than Obama. Staying in the forever wars for his entire 2 terms is completely unforgivable.
You forgot the /s. https://www.cfr.org/timeline/trumps-foreign-policy-moments
I guess unless you are unironically admitting to being a racist xenophobe.
Literally scoreboard. Trump got us out of the forever wars, Obama made them worse. Sure, he took 4 years to do it when it should have taken 3 months, but doing it is strictly better than not doing it. And Obama didn’t do it.
Got it. Racist xenophobe confirmed.
You libs are so fucking stupid. Learn to question what you’re told, institutions lie all the time.
This is the exact comment I would expect from a racist, sexist xenophobe who is scared of the world.
I’d love to hear why you think im a racist, sexist xenophobe.
You support Russia, want all Israelites dead, and think Trump’s foreign policy was great. You’re right, we can take sexist out (although the Trump support is suspicious) but you are definitely a racist and xenophobe. “I’m a leftist”. LMAO exactly what an idiot fascist would say on social media. Nobody’s buying your two bit bullshit.
I think Trump’s foreign policy was dog shit, it’s just better than Obama’s because it didn’t directly cause the deaths of thousands. Nothing you said implies I’m a racist. So basically, I’m a xenophobe because I think we need to kill people committing genocide? So then you also think the Russia/Britain/America faction in WW2 was a bunch of xenophobes, right? They also wanted to kill genocidal people.
If you were a real leftist, you wouldn’t blindly support the actions of the extremely far right American government. No true leftist supports Obamas foreign policy.
Pro-tip, if you want to pretend to be a leftist on the internet, it helps to not call trump better than Obama.
Good luck!
He’s been programed since birth to worship tough guys, i.e., The Czar.
Leftists don’t actually like Obama. Did you not know that? I’m a socialist, and on this particular issue, trump was very obviously better. He didn’t commit nearly as many war crimes.
