“To those people who are saying, ‘Well, I can’t support Harris because she disagrees [with] Trump on that issue’ … he will be closer to Netanyahu,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Sanders said he thinks Vice President Harris can be moved “on that issue” of the Israel-Hamas war.

Harris has called for a cease-fire deal and pushed for the war in Gaza to end, but she faces scrutiny from both sides — from people who want to see Hamas defeated and those who call for the end of the war in Gaza.

“So, if we are able to elect Harris, I think we’re going to have an opportunity to move her on that issue, to make it clear, we cannot allow children in Gaza to starve to death,” Sanders said. “She will be open to that. I doubt that Trump will.”

    I’ve always admired Sanders’ optimism, even when I don’t share it.

      He’s sheep dogging again. He knows she can’t be moved, if she could it would have moved by now.

        Oh, look. We have the equivalent of Trump’s RINO accusations on the socialist side.

          I can’t help it if liberals can’t recognize a fascist when they see one.
