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.
Funny they never say this kinda shit or act upon it when they have any actual power. Like Eisenhower and his military industrial complex speech.
Presidents/Prime Ministers become beacons of morality once out of office.
Or in Obamas case, Nobel peace prize winner > War Criminal > Beacon of morality
It’s also pretty rich coming from guy who thought drone collateral was not a problem in Afghanistan.
He’s lucky we wasn’t president during the last time there was a huge Israeli-Palestinian blowout, otherwise he’d have a 1:1 comparison with Biden.
Voluntarily releasing reports on civilian casualties doesn’t seem like they thought it wasn’t a problem
The ones where every male above 18 was just classified as a terrorist?

“Sorry everyone, look how bad we are. We killed all these people, and we’re going to kill more. Aren’t we bad?”
That doesn’t really show any concern.

Who said the killings were acceptable?
Missed the double negative there.
What makes you say he didn’t think accidental civilian deaths were a problem?
He was the only president to drone strike American citizens.
They didn’t stop him from doing the drone strikes.

His real thoughts speak volumes lol.
Spoiler: they don’t. Elected presidents can’t speak against whoever would successfully lobby to impeach them.
