Progressive Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders has rejected the call for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire because the Palestinian terror group ‘is dedicated to turmoil and chaos and destroying the state of Israel.’

Sanders, who is Jewish, said that even Arab countries in the region know that Hamas has to be destroyed – and a ceasefire will not help the cause.

Israel has been bombarding Gaza for over three weeks, after Hamas launched an attack and slaughtered over 1,300 Israelis in their homes and at a music festival.

Hamas kidnapped and took hostage hundreds of people, including children. Israel says a ceasefire will not be possible until the hostages are freed.
