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.
If Obama was a normal Israeli citizen and said this, he would be in jail right now for “enemy propaganda”.
And for those of you saying he would be dead after saying this in Gaza about Hamas, I think Hamas would be a bit busy to cary out that threat.
What kind of bullshit is this. Any Israeli citizen can say this and worse. Don’t be melodramatic.
I am sure Hamas could find the time to kill one more person in their busy schedule.
