Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday he doesnāt know that a ceasefire is possible in the Israel-Hamas war with āan organization like Hamasā involved.
āI donāt 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,ā Sanders told CNNās Dana Bash on āState of the Unionā Sunday.
Iām not going to get fully bogged down in the semantics, but Israel still basically controls the Egypt border.
The US forced a vote, didnāt like the outcome, attempted to coup Hamas, and failed. Also, if Hamas is so bad (which they are in many respects), why does Israel fund them and explicitly has a policy of only interacting with them as being the legitimate government?
Easy, they want an unsympathetic enemy that does not want peace. They want to continue the project of taking the rest of Israel for the ethnostate.
Iām overall on board for this comment but how does Israel find Hamas?

Itās a deliberate strategy to divide and conquer and create blowback (Oct 7th)
You missed half the article.
Correct on funding, with the aim to provide a glimpse of a better life and work permits - for its people, not the organization in control.
I do find in interesting that there is a thing on Israel funding Hamas while at the same time issues that Israel stopped providing power and food.
Iād be absolutely fine if Israel didnāt have Gaza under total blockade and THEN not giving aid. Sure.
But no, if Israel insists on total control (I think is counter productive, but whatever), they gain total responsibility.
You canāt just not feed your open air prison full of refugees (of your own making).
