    I just want to point out that Bernie Sanders did condemn them for their actions. While he admits that they have a right to defend themselves (which is fair) they absolutely do not have the right to outright slaughter innocent people amounting to a genocide. Which is what they are doing.

    That being said I agree with everything else you said.

      Still didn’t call for peace. Which is a HUGE disappointment

            The headline is very misleading.

            Mr Sanders said what’s needed now is a two-state solution to the crisis and for “the world to come together to give hope to the Palestinans.”

            He also said in another statement that the most important task now is to stop the bombings.

              Yes, his first statement was that Israel had the right to defend itself. That was all he said, then the backlash came and he came out with another statement.

              To me, that says a lot. It was a big disappointment personally.

        Wake me when hamas releases the hostages instead of just doubling down on saying we’ll invade again and kill more civilians.

        The diplomatic solution requires both sides to lay down their arms and stop attacking each other

          Well, Israel certainly schooled Hamas on senseless murder of Innocents. What is it now, 7 times as many (or 14 times, adjusted for population ratio) ?

          “An eye for an eye” was a few thousand ago.
