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.

      Mhm it’s almost like after 75 years there are generations that have been born on this land, and now are the locals.

        So you’re for a 1 state solution with equal rights and a government ran by the majority like south Africa?

          Sure, or a 10 state solution. Whatever, the number of states doesn’t matter.

          ran by the majority like south Africa

          I oppose absolute democracy. I would support a representative state with strong constitutional protections.

              I know, I’m not even specifically talking about South Africa. I’m addressing the “ran by the majority” part.

                Unless you want to do crazy gerrymandering then democracies are as a rule ran by a majority
