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.

    How do you propose to kill everyone who is Hamas without killing any civilians?

    In war, civilians always die. That’s just reality.

      Callous and disgusting that you’d even try to justify that.

          They have one of the most technologically sophisticated militaries in the world. You think they can’t minimize civilian casualties? The state of Israel is run by fascists who are building an ethnostate. They don’t care about Palestinians.

          The cost of destroying Hamas isn’t worth intentionally targeting civilians. They’re blowing up HOSPITALS.

        You didnt answer his question. Avoiding it does not make you more right than him.

          I’m not answering the question because I’m not drawing the line at no civilians. It’s not my position so I’m not going to defend it.
