“If there’s any chance of us being able to act, constructively to do something, it will require an admission of complexity,” Obama said, with the preening, professorial air that liberals swoon over but makes the teeth grate for sane individuals.
“And maintaining what on the surface may seem contradictory ideas: That what Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”
“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth,” he said. “And you then have to admit, nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree.” (Trending: Federal Court Rules Against Gun Owners)
