WTAF: #US Secretary of State #Blinken warned if United Nations recognizes #Palestine as an independent State, United States, allies and affiliated businessmen will cut funding for #UN, thus cutting United Nations ability to run huminitarian aid for Global South countries.

He is threatening the world on behalf of #Israel, while pretending that they support a 2 state solution.

This is the most outrageous comment I've ever read from Blinken. I'm not sure if it's accurate, because the only source is the post on ShiTwitter:https://x.com/halalflow/status/1792944530389393422

[Biden's]The change in rhetoric was wholly insincere, a response not to #Israel’s crimes but to #Biden’s people finally getting it through his head that he was jeopardizing his #re-election chances by unconditionally supporting #Netanyahu’s #genocidal onslaught. Thus, he put on more of a sympathetic face, but did not make a single change in policy.

Rafah, however, presents a greater difficulty. It’s not because it would mean a massacre of innocent Palestinians that would stand out even from this seven month slaughter. We have ample evidence that such considerations do not bother Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Antony #Blinken.

Rather, it’s the reaction that is feared, and not only in Washington. Arab dictatorships are starting to show concern about their ability to contain the anger of their citizens, while #protests in Europe are gaining more momentum, inspired by the courageous students in the United States. TĂŒrkiye has cut trade ties with Israel, and Columbia has severed all diplomatic contacts with Israel.

The #Chinese are #teasing.
They're a bit fed up with official Western visits, first with #European stooges, then with #American bosses. Who come to lecture them and even give them orders (!!!). But the Chinese are very polite, so they figure that since Western leaders are so stupid they might not understand, we'll politely let them know. To begin with, there's no protocol for welcoming Blinken at the airport, and no one to accompany him when he leaves. And to make matters worse, they're leaking a video taken at a trade show.
While waiting for #Blinken, Xi, who is obviously pissed off, asks his vice-president "When is he leaving?" Answer: "tonight", Xi: "so much the better". 😎😎😎
It's all going round the world, to the great glory of the Hegemon.
Cuckoo #Macron, cuckoo Séjourné, a little lesson in diplomatic subtlety?

Israeli channel 13 reports that several American officials including Harris, Sullivan, and #Blinken told Israel's Benny #Gantz that the Biden administration prevented several European countries, especially the #UK, from imposing arms #sanctions against the occupation state of Israel.

UK? Really? Who are they fooling? #Sunak would never do anything to stop the ongoing genocide in #Gaza.

Le monde doit imposer la paix à Israël

Le moment est venu pour les #USA et dans leur sillage la communautĂ© internationale, de prendre une dĂ©cision : le cycle sans fin de la #violence entre #IsraĂ«l et les #Palestiniens va-t-il se poursuivre ou allons-nous tenter d’y mettre un terme ? Les USA vont-ils continuer Ă  armer IsraĂ«l et Ă  dĂ©plorer ensuite l’usage excessif de ces armements, ou sont-ils enfin prĂȘts Ă  prendre des mesures concrĂštes, pour la premiĂšre fois de leur histoire, afin de changer la rĂ©alitĂ© ? Et surtout, l’attaque israĂ©lienne la plus cruelle contre #Gaza deviendra-t-elle la plus inutile de toutes, ou l’occasion qui s’est prĂ©sentĂ©e Ă  sa suite ne sera-t-elle pas ratĂ©e, pour une fois ?

Il ne sert Ă  rien d’en appeler Ă  IsraĂ«l. Le gouvernement actuel, et celui qui le remplacera probablement, n’a pas et n’aura jamais l’intention, le courage ou la capacitĂ© de gĂ©nĂ©rer un changement. Lorsque le Premier ministre rĂ©pond aux propos amĂ©ricains sur la crĂ©ation d’un État palestinien par des mots indiquant qu’il « s’oppose aux mouvements forcĂ©s » ou qu’ « un accord ne sera conclu que par le biais de nĂ©gociations» tout ce que l’on peut faire, c’est rire et pleurer.

Rire, parce qu’au fil des ans, le Premier ministre Benjamin #Netanyahou a fait tout ce qu’il pouvait pour faire Ă©chouer les nĂ©gociations ; pleurer, parce que c’est IsraĂ«l qui emploie la coercition – la nature de sa politique Ă  l’égard des Palestiniens est une coercition mise en Ɠuvre dans une grande dĂ©marche unilatĂ©rale, violente, agressive et arrogante. Tout Ă  coup, IsraĂ«l est contre les actes de coercition ? L’ironie se cache la tĂȘte dans la honte.

Il est donc inutile d’attendre du gouvernement israĂ©lien actuel qu’il change de caractĂšre. Il est tout aussi vain d’attendre d’un gouvernement dirigĂ© par Benny #Gantz, Gadi #Eisenkot ou Yair #Lapid qu’il le fasse. Aucun d’entre eux ne croit en l’existence d’un État palestinien dont le statut souverain et les droits seraient Ă©gaux Ă  ceux d’IsraĂ«l. Tous les trois, ensemble et chacun sĂ©parĂ©ment, accepteront tout au plus, dans un trĂšs bon jour, la crĂ©ation d’un bantoustan sur une partie du territoire. Une vĂ©ritable solution ne sera pas trouvĂ©e ici. Il vaut mieux laisser IsraĂ«l se complaire dans son refus.

Mais le monde ne peut pas se permettre de laisser passer cette occasion. C’est le monde qui devra bientĂŽt reconstruire, avec ses fonds, les ruines de la bande de Gaza, jusqu’à la prochaine dĂ©molition par IsraĂ«l. C’est le monde dont la stabilitĂ© est compromise tant que l’occupation persiste, et qui l’est encore plus chaque fois qu’IsraĂ«l se lance dans une nouvelle guerre. C’est le monde qui reconnaĂźt que l’occupation est nĂ©faste pour lui, mais qui n’a jamais levĂ© le petit doigt pour y mettre fin. Aujourd’hui, l’occasion de le faire se prĂ©sente. La faiblesse et la dĂ©pendance d’IsraĂ«l Ă  la suite de cette guerre doivent ĂȘtre exploitĂ©es, dans l’intĂ©rĂȘt d’IsraĂ«l Ă©galement.

Assez de mots. Assez des cycles de nĂ©gociations futiles organisĂ©s par le secrĂ©taire d’État amĂ©ricain Antony #Blinken et des mots durs prononcĂ©s par le prĂ©sident Joe #Biden. Ils ne mĂšnent nulle part. Le dernier prĂ©sident sioniste, peut-ĂȘtre le dernier Ă  se soucier de ce qui se passe dans le monde, doit agir. En guise de prĂ©lude, on pourrait s’inspirer des paroles Ă©tonnamment simples et vraies du responsable de la politique Ă©trangĂšre de l’Union europĂ©enne, Josep #Borrell, qui a dĂ©clarĂ© : « Eh bien, si vous pensez que trop de gens sont tuĂ©s, peut-ĂȘtre devriez-vous fournir moins d’armes [Ă  IsraĂ«l] ».

Toutefois, la question n’est pas seulement de mettre fin Ă  la guerre, mais surtout de savoir ce qui se passera une fois qu’elle sera terminĂ©e. Si cela dĂ©pendait d’IsraĂ«l, sous n’importe quel gouvernement, nous retournerions dans le giron chaleureux de l’ #apartheid et nous reviendrions Ă  la vie par le sabre. Le monde ne peut pas accepter cela plus longtemps et ne peut pas laisser le choix Ă  IsraĂ«l. IsraĂ«l a parlĂ© : c’est Non. Le temps est venu de trouver une solution semblable aux accords de #Dayton. Il s’agit d’un accord forcĂ© et imparfait conclu en #Bosnie-HerzĂ©govine qui a mis fin Ă  l’une des guerres les plus cruelles et qui, contrairement Ă  toutes les prĂ©visions, a tenu pendant 29 ans. L’accord a Ă©tĂ© imposĂ© par la coercition.

Un État palestinien n’est peut-ĂȘtre plus une solution viable en raison des centaines de milliers de colons qui ont ruinĂ© les chances d’en crĂ©er un. Mais un monde dĂ©terminĂ© Ă  trouver une solution doit proposer un choix clair Ă  IsraĂ«l : des sanctions ou la fin de l’occupation ; des territoires ou des armes ; des colonies ou un soutien international ; un État dĂ©mocratique ou un État juif ; l’apartheid ou la fin du sionisme. Lorsque le monde se montrera ferme, en posant ces options de cette maniĂšre, IsraĂ«l devra prendre une dĂ©cision. Le moment est venu de forcer IsraĂ«l Ă  prendre la dĂ©cision la plus fatidique de sa vie.

#Netanyahu just forbid his cabinet members to meet with #US state department staff at all levels including #Blinken.

I truly don't understand how Israel can get away with treating American officials, even their presents like this.

It is as if Israel is the superpower and US is tiny shitty country out there dependent on Israeli protection, money and weapons.

It's truly unbelievable.

U.S. admits it hasn’t verified Israel’s #UNRWA claims, media ignores it

Secretary Blinken admits that the U.S. has been unable to investigate the “evidence” presented by Israel claiming 13 of UNRWA’s 13,000 #Gaza employees participated in October 7. #Biden took Israel’s word for it anyway.

Many on the pro-Israel and Israeli right and center believe doing away with UNRWA would essentially allow Israel to do away with Palestinian refugees because they believe UNRWA is the only thing maintaining that generational definition.

US Secretary of State Antony #Blinken stated, “We haven’t had the ability to investigate [the allegations] ourselves. But they are highly, highly credible.”

NBC News cites senior US administration officials as saying that Blinken told Netanyahu that "ultimately there is no military solution to Hamas and that the Israeli leader needs to recognize that or history will repeat itself and violence will continue." But, the officials said, Netanyahu was unmoved.

Having problem sleeping again and found this disgusting post trying to whitewash Biden's bloody hands after murdering over 30000 Palestinians.

I like it when things are clear like this.
Blinken, a few months earlier: « Butcha is not normal, Mariupol is not normal, Irpin is not normal. We can never let the crimes Russia is committing become our new normal » (link below)

Hey #Blinken, lier, murderer, king of US propaganda and hypocrisy, remember? And for #Israel erasing #Gaza an Palestinians, that new "normal" suits you, isn't it?
And again, another #souvenir I like to remind, thank you again for #Nordstream, guys! Your idea of what is "normal" is that of a mentally unbalanced, or a fucking dominant pervert, you choose:) With friends like USA, nobody need ennemies.
Anyway Blinken, YOU are not "normal". You are a lier and a criminal. Like the gvt you're part of.

Not from the Onion: US Secretary of State calls Israel the victim that is to be protected

In a press briefing, the Anthony #Blinken defended Israel's actions in #Gaza, stating they are justifiable actions and in self defense.

He added that #Hamas is the aggressor here, and people should pressure it to surrender.

"No one is demanding that Hamas stop hiding behind civilians, lay down its arms, and surrender. This is over tomorrow if Hamas does that. How can it be that there are no demands made of the aggressor and only demands made of the victim?"

I just can't write anything about this shit.

See the video on telegram.

Anthony #Blinken announces sanctions against anyone who "undermines peace" in the West Bank, which appears to include Israeli settlers:

"Today, I announced a new visa restrictions policy targeting individuals and their family members involved in or meaningfully contributing to actions that undermine peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. Violence against  civilians will have consequences."

I'm sure Saudis and UAE citizens will not be restricted to enter united state but many peace activists in Europe and rest of the world will be denied entry because they oppose the forever war policies of #US and #NATO
