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.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Again, you are ignoring the context. This is not Hamas - or whatever you call it today - a population is getting decimated on a faster pace right now! 7 Oct was tragic (still, not everything has been investigated yet and we know Israeli's trend to inflate shit) but it CAN'T be drawn as a sacred milestone which could erase all the previous and atrocious forfeits, should I say "crimes", committed by Israel.
I mean he says the bombing needs to end and has voted as much in the Senate.. He's definitely not claiming Israel is in any way innocent.
We're falling into the trap of "Do you condemn Hamas" here. Not any mention of Hamas needs to be accompanied by a condemnation of Israel, just as not every mention of Israel needs to come with a condemnation of Hamas.

Not at all, I see what you mean but no. The "relation" is irrelevant here. Who has the power, the control and who is dying?
That's such a simplistic view though, how long would you ignore a country firing missiles at you and sneaking in to kill civilians? Israel spent staggering sums on defensive security rather than just carpet bombing and still they find ways to kill Israelies.
And they always will, the leader of Hamas went to Iran again the other day to talk about further support that Iran can give them - they already train Palestinian fighters, supply them with missiles, scuba suits, paragliders, and tunnel making equipment. This isn't just a small city being bullied it's a proxy war, and yeah there are people in Palestine who don't support Hamas but it's not just Israel that's too blame for their bad experience - fundamentalist despots need them to be there suffering and dying so they can have a reason to keep attacking Israel, so they can hold Israel up as a bogeyman to cement their power at home.
This isn't a simple situation, Israel can't just stop fighting and tear down it's walls.
firing missiles
Anoooother inflate. talking about missile (which are guided and of higher destruction capacity) while the others use artisanal rocketry, shows a level of cowardice, jeez... And if you are so fucked up that, a death, if arab should only interest their ethnic, be aware that Iran is persian and shite, not arab and sunnite like... ya know, Saudi Arabia, Liban or Jordania OR Egypt!
Just look a the fucking map. The reality Israel is theocratic state (pseudo democratic, Bibi refers often to the book), laws are based on Talmud and they cry to build their great Israel.
