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.

Hamas have tried to agree to boundaries Despite media attempts to portray it as a new Hamas charter, it is not. The new ‘policy document’ accepts the creation of a Palestinian state in 1967 borders, but still rejects Israel and claims its territory. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39775103

Here is a list of peace offers
the Palestiniansthe governing body of palestinians offered to Israel -None
That doesn’t sound right. One of those was stopped by an assassination. One was stopped by conservatives gaining power in Israel. One was stopped by a war between Fatah and Hamas.
The PLO offered peace in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 and were stopped by Israel.
Many were stopped because of a Hamas attack or Israel refusing to stop taking West Bank territory.
It seems like you were saying that because Palestine didn’t give in to Israel’s demands every time that it’s always their fault.
This is from some quick research, though. Someone feel free to correct me.
Yes, and it was all for shit because hamas threatened violence if any party thought about compromise. Aka. Exactly what i wrote.
Kind of, but not really. You were equating Hamas and all Palestinians together. They’re not all the same. Lots of Palestinians want peace, including ones that have been in governing positions. I’m glad you crossed out the one sentence that did that but you’ve still got this one:
That’s a very ambiguous “they” up there and seems to refer to all Palestinians and not just Hamas.
Hamas has been a great excuse to break off peace negotiations, though. I can see why Bibi propped them up to prevent a two state solution. It’s worked wonders, although hopefully the blowback of this past event takes him out of political life forever now.
