Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday he doesn’t know that a ceasefire is possible in the Israel-Hamas war with “an organization like Hamas” involved.

“I don’t know how you can have a ceasefire, (a) permanent ceasefire, with an organization like Hamas, which is dedicated to turmoil and chaos and destroying the state of Israel,” Sanders told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” Sunday.

    So just wait a few days for Hamas to dig in then do the same?

      How are Hamas going to dig in to a more meaningful extent with a few days’ respite from Israel’s attacks on Palestine? It’s not as though the IDF is making so much as a token effort to avoid killing Palestinian children and civilians.

      B-but Hamas is a pretty poor excuse for killing thousands of children.
