Noting the downvotes on this I understand their view, don't be down on a positive gesture. The issue is it's an incredibly close analogy. He is apologizing for showing up, finding a population living in a region, and deciding that they needed to go. Through violence, lies, and genocide that population was driven from their homes and those lands were colonized. It's exactly the same as Palestine. Precisely the same. While I applaud this statement, the support of exactly this crime, the willingness to plunge America into a wider war just to support Israel and it's right to colonize Palestine shows the statement has no moral weight. It's just words before an election.
