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.
I think he’s right in a more technical sense. You can’t have a cease-fire unless everyone stops firing. If someone isn’t going to stop firing, you can’t have a cease fire with them.
It takes two to cease fire, so to speak.
