Bernie Sanders on CNN: "Israel has a right to defend itself. But what Israel does not in my view have a right to do is to kill thousands and thousands of innocent men, women, and children who had nothing to do with that attack ... we have got to stop the bombing now."

Sanders on how Israel should destroy Hamas without killing innocent civilians: "That is exactly the right question to ask military experts, of which I am not one."

Sanders on a ceasefire: "I don't know how you can have a permanent cease fire with an organization like Hamas, which is dedicated to turmoil and chaos and destroying the state of Israel."
