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.

    Which is fair enough, but given what we know about the situation, it’s incredibly frustrating that everyone is being called to condemn Hamas when Israel are unequivocally the aggressor here.

    But yes - between a jihadi org and the Israeli government, there are no good guys, but I think we’re collectively failing to recognise the far greater evil here.
