‘Nobody’s hands are clean’: Obama urges reflection amid Israel-Hamas conflict
politico.com
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.

That's a lot of text just to show you don't know what you're talking about.
Okay, I'm sorry that you can't understand that white supremacy is still white supremacy even if the phrase didn't exist.
The concept still did ... Like, what do you call someone that enslaves other races for being lesser than them, takes over their land, changes shit because fuck them etc etc?
White supremacists, or ancient Romans.
They laid the ground work for all of it, and that's why you're so vehemently defending them, you alt right people love you some white supremacy that isn't called it.
Greeks and Romans did the racism: https://www.jstor.org/stable/40023593
But you're literally the racist POS here. You've done Jack shit to deny it other than try to play the uno reverse card, while I've pointed out your white supremacist bullshit.
All you've done is throw up a strawman and call that racism, the problem with a strawman is, I never said it or claim to agree with it.
Sorry you don't like people of color getting their ancestral land back. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on native Americans and African Americans 🙄 I bet you don't want them to get reparations.
You didn't have the foggiest clue how white supremacism works a while ago... you don't have the foggiest clue how white supremacism works now. Nothing has changed.
Clyde, read this part again, and read it carefully.
White supremacism didn’t exist back when the Roman empire was a thing because white supremacism hadn’t been invented yet. You know… the same reason the Romans didn’t have M16 rifles? The “scientific racism” which underpins the modern-day ideology of white supremacism is a purely European invention that arose during the colonialist era starting with the (so-called) “Reconquista” in Spain.
Again... you accusing people who are pointing out your investment in white supremacist propaganda of "reverse racism" doesn’t make you unique. It just makes you a run-of-the-mill, made-in-a-mold white supremacism apologist.
Clyde, you apologizing for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state is not a strawman - it's you apologizing for a white supremacist settler-colonialist state. That's you... no amount of deflection changes that.
The Palestinians will get their land back eventually - white supremacist settler-colonialist projects are as unsustainable in the middle-east as they proved to be in Africa. Your hoped-for genocide will fail.
An apple is still an apple regardless of whether you call it an apple.
If this sentence doesn't make sense to you, there's no need to proceed because you're just actively refusing logic.
And again, I don't support what the Israeli government is doing, that's more strawman out of you.
A white supremacist settler-colonialist state is still a white supremacist settler-colonialist state regardless of how much white supremacist propaganda you peddle in a vain attempt to prove otherwise.
Nobody is stopping you from scampering away from this, right-winger.
You're the right-winger. This is well established. You scoff at the face of objective truth, throw up strawman arguments that no one made and make a bunch of wildly racist comments then play "no u". You keep white washing an entire people, calling them colonizers, but that's our ancestral home, regardless of the atrocities that the government is currently doing. It's not the Palestinians ancestral home, but they've been there for such a long time that the correct action is a two state solution. Neither side wants that though. But all you want is to throw antisemitism around.
You've played every racist possible angle there is and then have the audacity to claim it's not racist, everyone else is. And you keep calling my liberal ass right-wing, because you proud boys love your LARPing.
Keep your tiki torches out of here.
Again... a white supremacist settler-colonialist state is still a white supremacist settler-colonialist state regardless of how much white supremacist propaganda you peddle in a vain attempt to prove otherwise.
Do you have any other "Big Lies" you wanna try hiding behind? Your current ones seem a bit... threadbare.
That's fascinating, but I've already disproven that claim. So you can keep saying it all you want but it doesn't make it true.
I'm not hiding behind any lies, stop trying to play the uno reverse card and come up with a legitimate true statement.
Demonstrating your abject ignorance on the subject matter does not equate to you "disproving" anything, Clyde.
Your wish is my command. Here goes...
A white supremacist settler-colonialist state is still a white supremacist settler-colonialist state regardless of how much white supremacist propaganda you peddle in a vain attempt to prove otherwise.
No I said "legitimate true statement."
Not racist lies that you've tried to spread from the beginning.
You can't be a colonizer of your own land, and stop with your racist white washing of an entire people.
Like if native Americans were supported by the US government to take back land you'd be over here calling them white supremacist colonizers. Because that's the same fucking thing.
Both groups are people of color, both groups were forced out of their native lands, it's not like either group just said "oh yeah, totally come massacre us and take our land"
No, they were colonized, forcibly removed. To take your property back does not magically turn you white or into a colonizer. Holy fuck you're dense.
True... European Jewish people can't be colonizers in Europe.
No, no, no... if you wish to compare a white supremacist settler-colonialist state to something, you need to compare it with another white supremacist settler-colonialist state - you know, such as the US, for instance.
Yes, European Jewish people were forced out of their native lands - by Europeans.
Oh, oh... right. Let me check... here's one!
A white supremacist settler-colonialist state is still a white supremacist settler-colonialist state regardless of how much white supremacist propaganda you peddle in a vain attempt to prove otherwise.
So, you're back to ignoring history. Gotcha, right. So you know where they came from before they were forced to live in Europe right? ... Like, you understand they didn't start there right? Their native land, European Jews, African Jews all Jews, have a native land in Israel. You can test our fucking blood. That's where we came from before we were forced out.
So it's exactly the fucking same. Soooo, try again maybe, but this time try to make a factual statement. Because, I can back my claim with science.
ROFLMAO!
"Scientific racism" is not a science, Clyde - did you forget that "Jewish" is not a "race?"
European Jewish people are native to Europe. African Jewish people are native to Africa. To suggest they aren't is about as antisemitic as antisemitism gets.
So... again - what does it feel like to play kapo for the very people who invented antisemitism? You know... the very same people whose "race science" you have so obviously bought into?
You're a fucking disgrace of a human being.
How do you manage to shit on finding the lost tribes of Israel? We can prove that the lemba tribe in Africa came from Israel, they were kicked out by the ancestors of the Palestinians, we can prove the European Jews came from Israel, they were kicked out of Israel by the Romans.
We found our fucking family, after all the colonizers and genocides and you're trying to shit on that. You're objectively an asshole and can fuck yourself.
This is scientifically proven that we are a family. And you're trying to take that from us, you're not the first that has tried, but fuck yourself.
