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.

        Again, how would you suggest they do it? Don’t avoid the question.

        If this was World War 2, would you be saying that we shouldn’t kill any nazis if it causes civilian casualties? Nazis, like their Hamas associates, also used human shield tactics.

        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.
