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.

Stop calling it a prison, prisons are for convicted criminals, Palestinian's only crime is being Palestinian. These were open air concentration camps, they are now open air extermination camps

prisons are for convicted criminals,

Always?

No one said the conviction is justified, but yes, convicted.

What is Guantanamo?

“Uh it’s just a building with rooms you can’t leave. But it’s not a prison”

Not a prison if that is what you are getting at

That’s not what they’re getting at. They question isn’t “what is it not?”. The question is “what is it?”.

The non-trivial question that moves this forward

Have you ever seen Gaza? I thought it looked more like a city.

Is "open air concentration camps" now a code word for dense urban city?

Honestly this looks like a pretty nice city to me.

It is when trying to leave gets you opened up on by the Israeli air force.

No, a prison is just a facility designed to keep people inside against their will.
