I think this guy is an entertainment puffball who is not cut out to have sophisticated opinions on anything or any opinions about sophisticated matters, but he is fast becoming a textbook case on how that doesn’t matter because you can’t simply throw up your hands at genocide and say “I’m not a political person.”

I always try to give people the benefit of doubt. But now he's said too much for that to apply.

The entirety of Palestine, Gaza, and Israel is complex. Though, it has to be said, part of that is because Israel has done everything in their power to keep it "complex". When serious progress was being made in the early years of their nation. Their response was to assassinate the mediator. Yes. Really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folke_Bernadotte (Oh I mean... It was totally these extremists, a rebel group, and in no way was Israel involved, they investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing!)

The Israeli genocide in Gaza however. Is not very complex. It's quite simple. It's a genocide. And they need to be held accountable. Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Solving the conflict between a poor and powerless Palestine and the nuclear power of Israel IS one of the most complex political issues. Not only, but also because of the power-imbalance and generational hate on both sides.

The genocide in Gaza is decidedly NOT complex though. Yes it is a part of that entire thing, but the fact that the IDF is committing crimes against humanity is as simple as can be.

"genocide bad" is not complex at all, actually.

World War II was also the most geopolitically complex issue on the planet.

One side is far more powerful and commiting genocide, the other is poor and simply trying to survive. Currently it is not complex at all.

My initial position after those first attacks from Hamas were Isreal has the right to defend itself, but what has happened since then is so far beyond the scope of what is acceptable, it is horrible.

The only thing making it complex is that Jews were the victims of a genocide too. Nothing more to it than humans not learning from history.

Also : He tried playing the victim for a bit.

It's not that complex Ed, just look at Elon Musk and Steve Bannon. They know how to express exactly what they mean.

Almost sounds like you have reservations about being a spineless pos.

So tired to hear about this hobbit it's not even funny.

Person A: You don't love me anymore?

Person B: It is complicated.

Person A: really!?

The most complex political issue on the planet remains how to handle climate change.

When you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

-Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson

Sounds pretty simple to me

My first thought when he said that.

Kids dying isn't complex bro. Like isn't he fuckin Irish?

Isn't Netanyahu wanted for genocide?

Keep digging that hole, Ed.
