Sanders: Hamas Using Civilians as Shields ‘Is, Perhaps, a Part of the Problem,’ ‘Not the Real Problem’
Breitbart ^ | 04/04/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 04/05/2024 6:18:37 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that Hamas hiding among civilians is “perhaps, a part of the problem, but it’s not the real problem.” And starvation in Gaza “is Israel’s responsibility, not Hamas’.”

Host Jake Tapper asked, “What do you say to people who say, this is not fair, it’s a double standard, Hamas started this on October 7, Hamas wants to destroy Israel, Hamas wants to kill Jews, Hamas hides behind their own people, Hamas doesn’t care how many Palestinian civilians die — all of which, in my opinion, is true — what’s your response when people say that that –?”

Sanders cut in to answer, “I would agree with you. Hamas is a terrible, terrible terrorist organization that started this war. And what I have said from the beginning, Jake, Israel has a right to defend itself and go to war against Hamas. That’s what I believe. I think most people believe. But you do not have a right to damage or destroy 70% of the housing units in Gaza. You don’t have a right to displace 80% of the population, throw them out of their homes, put them into this area, put them into that area, deny them food, water, medical supplies, and fuel. That, you don’t have a right to do. So, the answer is, of course, Hamas began this war, they are a terrorist organization, but the United States is not funding Hamas. We are funding Israel. And what has got to be made clear to Israel, you can go to war against Hamas, but you cannot continue these horrific actions which are causing, literally, the worst humanitarian disaster we have seen in a very long time.”

I can’t comprehend the Jew hatred in the world. It just doesn’t make sense.

Ut oh .... be careful, Bernie, you might get another DS black eye, even though you spinelessly tried to play BOTH sides, here.

“I can’t comprehend the Jew hatred in the world. It just doesn’t make sense”

It does if you look at it in this context:

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[12] “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”

All explained, in the Holy Bible.

All the Palestinians need to do in order to get the food and medicine they need is to STOP FIGHTING, RELEASE THE HOSTAGES, and SURRENDER.

Then they can get the food and medicine they want.

” And starvation in Gaza “is Israel’s responsibility, not Hamas’.” Sanders is clueless. If he wants to run Israel, he should make Aliyah and get the right to vote in Israel.

Bernie is lying; the US has funding Hamas through many channels, not the least of which is the UN and UNWRA. I’d like to hear a credible estimate on how much the tunnels in Gaza cost in funds and man hours to build.

“But you do not have a right to damage or destroy 70% of the housing units in Gaza. You don’t have a right to displace 80% of the population, throw them out of their homes, put them into this area, put them into that area, deny them food, water, medical supplies, and fuel. That, you don’t have a right to do”

It’s total war. HAMAS, with the help of the UN, declared total war. The rules for war disappeared with the rapes, kidnappings, and deliberate murder of children, with the first attack. Then we learn that the UN provided support for that attack. How do you stop a war that was initiated to do horrific crimes and genocide against a peaceful group, assisted by a world relief and justice organization with it’s own ‘world court’? Seriously Bernie, think about it, use some common sense. You would have to immediately arrest UN representatives and Administrators and try them for war crimes to even begin to ‘appear’ non-biased. It’s a worldwide disaster, because of the actions of Hamas and the UN, and it can now only end three ways:
1)Arabs Genocide Jews (which is what they tried to do since 1948)
2. Jews Genocide the People of Gaza
3. You move the people of Gaza somewhere else (nobody wants them) to prevent the genocide. The nations that have supported the attacks against Israel should be forced to take them in......IRAN.

How stupid the people of Vermont must be to keep electing this aging commie? Makes SC and KY voters look sane in comparison.

They misunderstood “chosen”.. Isaac, was chosen.foretold by God.. To be born to Abraham and Sarah. They didn’t wait on God and had Ishmael first. If all the Jews were gone.. They think they would be the one.. And the land given to Israel by God, they want that too.. Jesus is coming back to that place and they would like to control it.
Ya have to go back to that time, to get an idea on the hate. There is a lot I can’t put on here..

Only a Communist like Bernie Sanders is smart enough to see the “real problem.” That’s why we are the proletariat and he is in the elite cadre.

Many people don’t 3ven know why they hate jews, they just do- but it is beczuse they are demon driven to do so. Satan and his angels hate God and hate God’s people, and they drive the unsaved to hate them as well. The very,fact that they hate them (and others) shows that the love of God is not in them, and that they are controlled by evil compulsions. The greatest commandment is to love one another, and those who hate God of course do not obey, and especially do not obey that command concerning his people
