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.

    Pretty hard to flee the country when the two countries on either side of you won’t let you in. So how are they supposed to do it?

        The somethings are Israel, who won’t let them out and Egypt, who won’t let them out. There’s no other place for them to go. Look at a map.

          You should go and look at a map the medterranean sea is its other border. They can leave by sea. Cubans do it , African do it to reach Italy and so on. So it’s very possible to leave the country

                I’m pretty sure those countries aren’t trying to kill the migrants when they try to leave. Sort of a really huge difference.

                I’m not sure why you think the Israeli military would see a raft of migrants and not just blow it out of the water.
