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.

Where's the homeland to rest of the genocides around the world? let's bring in Uyghur population to Israel too, Rohingya Muslims? Ugandan genocide?

When are they going to get their own homeland?

oh oh but this one is so much more special because it ties in with your religious beliefs in the west, right?

the rest? they just can fucking just get wiped out for all you care.

lose the facade you ducking hypocrites.

Man fuck off, that was a lot of shite you typed. I don't have religious beliefs for one and you can scroll through my history to see my strong support for Palestine.

Fuck you.
