Former President Barack Obama has admitted that the ongoing Israel-Hamas war is “complicated”.
In a recent interview, the former President condemned Hamas and the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, but he also condemned Israel’s response.
Barack Obama was recently speaking at an event, where he spoke out about the ongoing war in Israel.
“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 was no justification for it,” he said.
“And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable [and] there is a history of the Jewish people that may be dismissed unless your grandparents, or your great-grandparents, or your uncle or aunt tell you stories about the madness of anti-Semitism,” he added. “There are people right now who are dying who have nothing to do with what Hamas did.”
The former President concluded with, “If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth and then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean and that all of us are complicit to some degree.”
This comes just moments after thousands of Pro-Palestine protestors took over the streets of Washington, D.C. on November 4. A video was shared, showing an insane number of pro-Palestine protesters as they “take over Washington DC, demonstrating against US Support for Israel.”
“Currently Happening Thousands of Pro-Palestine supporters have gathered today, taking over Washington, D.C., to march and protest against US support for Israel. Aerial shots show vast numbers of protesters packed together, occupying dozens of streets. Reports indicate that the crowd has grown, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 people, marching to multiple places around the DC area,” eyewitnesses say.
