Obama says people need to acknowledge complexity of Israel-Palestinian conflict to move forward
cnn.com
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.

The world needs to stsrting usiing proper words: what Israel is trying to achieve in Palestine is an Holocaust.
No no, its only a Holocaust if it comes from the German Region.
This is just sparkling genocide.
It's a hOlOCaUsT !!!111
Because it is. Complexity doesn't mean hiding reality. Write me when you need more help interpreting texts. You're welcome.
It is not and what you actually doing by saying stupid things like that is relativizing the holocaust...which would be a crime here in Germany.
Germany has stupid laws, which stay in Germany naturally.
TIL a law to prevent relativism of the holocaust is stupid. lol.
Never too late to learn.
It's a pretty shitty Holocaust attempt.
Not even nazi germany managed to kill everyone they decided to.
What percentage would satisfy you to make it successful?
Such a pathetic reply. The Nazis murdered millions of civilians. They rounded them up, put them in camps, and killed them with the intention of eradicating their entire race.
Israel has, for the most part, avoided intentionally targeting civilians while rooting out Hamas in Gaza. Yes, there have been unfortunate exceptions, but you'd have to be either incredibly dishonest or incredibly stupid to claim it's a "holocaust".
Everyone's Hamas if you're being shot at by Israel. Very convenient, ain't it?
