It is difficult to find a recent conflict that has led to as many deaths or buildings destroyed in such a short period of time. These data and graphs help put the figures in context
I just want to point out that Bernie Sanders did condemn them for their actions. While he admits that they have a right to defend themselves (which is fair) they absolutely do not have the right to outright slaughter innocent people amounting to a genocide. Which is what they are doing.
That being said I agree with everything else you said.
Yes, his first statement was that Israel had the right to defend itself. That was all he said, then the backlash came and he came out with another statement.
To me, that says a lot. It was a big disappointment personally.
Israel can’t defend itself without killing innocent people. Hamas is launching rockets from civilian infrastructure. Building such as hospitals, schools, kindergarten, etc, are all used to hide rocket launchers and shafts into a network of tunnels that Hamas opperates from.
They can’t just send foot soldiers in to dismantle everything. Hamas set up traps, so they use air strikes to create safe passage and then go in by foot.

Wake me when Bernie calls for a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution.
He did though.
Nope, he
didn’t
The headline is very misleading.
He also said in another statement that the most important task now is to stop the bombings.

Wake me when hamas releases the hostages instead of just doubling down on saying we’ll invade again and kill more civilians.
The diplomatic solution requires both sides to lay down their arms and stop attacking each other
Uhhh, yeah, that’s what a ceasefire is. You ask both sides to stop.
Well, Israel certainly schooled Hamas on senseless murder of Innocents. What is it now, 7 times as many (or 14 times, adjusted for population ratio) ?
“An eye for an eye” was a few thousand ago.
Still didn’t call for peace. Which is a HUGE disappointment
