Reflecting on his presidency, Obama posed the question, “Well, was there something else I could have done?”

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.

    Again,

    Again - the colonized does not require your approval or permission to resist colonization.

    Then answer the question, what positive outcome will there be to the Hamas attack?

    Positive for whom? You? A proven supporter of white supremacist settler-colonialism?

    Or the Palestinians, perhaps, whom you’d prefer to blink out of existence quietly so that you can continue to exist inside your bubble of 1st world privilege without having to face the fact that said privilege is built on exactly that which we are witnessing in Gaza?

      Positive for whom? You?

      I said previously “Show me some clear, obtainable objectives from Hamas in this attack that will benefit Gaza and the Palestinians”. How many times need I ask?

      Your lack of an answer is the answer. Thank you.

        Your apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state doesn’t imply a requirement for “answers” on my part - considering that it is you that are peddling apologetics for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state.
