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.

    Is it? Have you ever asked a European about their opinions on Jews and Gypsies? I’d make a KKK member blush.

      I know that, but assuming that influence somehow makes it all the way to the UN is tenuous at best. You’re gonna need proof for that. Also, European countries are 44 out of a total of 193, so even if somehow they were all ruled by antisemites, that’s not nearly enough to make the whole UN antisemitic.

      The UN is one of the least biased entities in the world, so if you think they’re biased, there’s a good chance you’re the one being biased.

        44 European nations plus 56 Islamic nations is essentially a majority.

        The UN is one of the least biased entities in the world, so if you think they’re biased, there’s a good chance you’re the one being biased.

        I’m what way? The UN has confirmed Israel more than every other thing that has happened on the planet combine. How is that not bias?

        There’s an additional 56 Islamic nations. Combine with the Cold War nations on the Soviet side that still vote with them.

        The Old World loves to hate Jews.
