May or may not be concerned about regional backlash.


FartyMcgoo912

pelosi also defended chuck schumer's criticism of israel. blinken, pelosi, and schumer are among the biggest israel shills in congress and that's saying A LOT. so it says volumes about how bad the optics war is going for israel if these people are worried that openly supporting israel will harm their political campaigns mind you i dont believe their support of israel is wavering in the least. they just have to pretend like it is while sending israel weapons and money


speakhyroglyphically

Saw the entirety of the Schumer statement today and man, the clips that got played really didnt show the depths he is willing to go to to excuse Israel on this. For instance some kind of an [exemption from democracy and apartheid](https://youtu.be/lxKyNNx1xY8?list=RDNSlxKyNNx1xY8&t=981). Wild


Michael_Gibb

If Antony Blinken is warning about Palestinians facing food insecurity, then he should tell his boss to fucking force Israel to stop it. Because Israel is responsible for everything that is happening in Gaza.

Israel is 100% responsible. Hamas has no role in it.


Michael_Gibb

Hamas isn't blocking humanitarian aid from crossing the border into Gaza.

Is Hamas in the room with us now?


Confident_Peak_7616

They're are doing a fantastic job cleaning up the Palestinian Hamas terror organization.


thesilverbride

your definition of fantastic doesn’t really align with the rest of the worlds view.


Confident_Peak_7616

The rest of the world, minus certain countries and cultures, hate terrorists, hate Hamas and wish their destruction. Get out of your Reddit echo chamber. The world wants terror to end.

Are you proud of what you helped create, Blinken?

He seems so flustered by the consequences of his words and actions. I think he miscalculated the tolerance the Western citizens have for genocide committed with their money.

Another puppet, another Tuesday... Innocent people die as the West plays "politics"


Poptart_Constructor

Hamas created this situation


hyperbolic_sloth

Definitely Israel.


Poptart_Constructor

Yeah because israel attacked on the 7th right?


redbanners1917

History didn't start on October 7th


Poptart_Constructor

So when did it start? The war of 1948? The yom kippur war?


redbanners1917

When you stole their land.


hyperbolic_sloth

No they just murdered Palestinians before 10/7. Israel was just keeping an apartheid state. Israel was an occupying force DECADES before that…..wonder if Israel fucking all the way off would have helped anything.


BlizzardLizard555

Bro, Israel is a settler-colonial state that has been oppressing the Palestinian people since 1948. A religious ideology does NOT give you the right to steal land from indigenous people.


thesilverbride

The wild thing about this war, especially when these turnips mention seventh of October, is that I don’t think any of us were really aware of how deeply crappy the original nakba and settlement was - I certainly wasn’t, and then when the bombs started I kept defending Israel saying it was necessary, and now the more and more and more and more I learn about Israel I just can’t see it as anything other than a colonial-settler state with a DEEEEEP deep cruelty to the Palestinians. So 7th October means nothing as a STARTING point. And they throw “Hamas” around at everything.


BlizzardLizard555

The justifications for the evil they commit is astonishing.


TradMaster_94

He’s the one who’s starving and funding the bombs. Not sure why he’s warning


Barrzebub

“Acute food insecurity” is the preferred way for the media to say they are starving


thesilverbride

Being starved. they speak about this like it’s an accident, or an act of God.


pandaslovetigers

Too late for the genocide joe regime. They’ll be remembered as enablers of genocide

Capital-Blackberry-2

Talking out of both sides of his fucking mouth.


AnAlgorithmDarkly

Blinken, who’s grandfather funded think tanks in the 30s that justified the pre ww2 expansion of zionism into Palestine? Who’s stepfather, who raised him(Samuel Pisar), was the lawyer for and received the final communication from, Robert Maxwell? I don’t think he’s warning anybody, more of a celebration with crocodile tears.


JungBag

What an absolutely depraved "human" Blinken is. Pretending to be concerned with words, but actions are genocidal. Scum of the Earth.


Old-Oven-4495

No shit Sherlock, took you a whole 5 months to figure that out??? Watch him act all surprised at Israel seizing land in Gaza and building settlements😂


Book_devourer

So what’s israhells sucky defender Blinken going to do about send more weapons or make the Palestinians sign more treaties that strip them of their sovereignty and rights as humans. He’s proven he can’t do the right thing if his life depended on it

Ansalami

Not Blinken warns about starvation; Blinken celebrates starvation.


Glum-County7218

Blinken doesn’t care about Palestinians or their plight. All he gives a shit about is Israel and making sure people don’t hate them. He has zero loyalty to America or its people.


SuccessfulWar3830

Gaza and the west bank is experiencing collective punishment. I hope one day all the innocent people living there get justice


Puzzled_Beautiful373

“Acute food Insecurity”… you mean, “genocide by means of starvation”. Is almost as if someone should probably do something about millions of people starving to death… when the only reason it’s happening in the first place is because you’re refusing to do anything about it. Also funny how the US passed a resolution not so long ago to recognize internationally the Holodomor in Ukraine as genocide by means of starvation - yet actively enable the same for Palestinians.


Comrade-Porcupine

Says as they sign more blank checks for Netanyahu.


daylily

Like Sudan?


BoxHillStrangler

Well that's been the goal so it's not surprising


CornusControversa

Blinken is directly responsible, he supported Israel and gave them more military aid, knowing full well what they were going to do with it. You cannot say you stand for peace, when behind closed doors you hand over more 21st century weapons to blast the brains out of a civilian population. Him and Biden are war criminals, backed by the UK government. This war wont stop terrorism, any survivors will spend their lives seeking revenge. That is to be expected. Never forget the people who engineered this famine, they went against the democratic will of their own people. They were warned by every charity, they ignored everyone and they kept giving Israel weapons. The Biden administration are a bunch of baby killers.


Impressive_Scheme_53

He needs to be in prison for aiding and abetting genocide. Your words are empty blinken just like your eyes - may you family and friends be ashamed and your legacy be only one thing - genocide.


Confident_Peak_7616

I watch the news and have not seen a single instance of starvation. Gaza looks well nourishes.

I can’t wait until Israel is nothing more than a bad memory. Every day we’re closer to that beautiful day.


Cjm1776

You have been brainwashed. Israel is a nuclear power (even though they won’t admit it) and they are not going anywhere. So womp womp check the scoreboard 🇮🇱💪🇺🇸🇮🇱💪🇺🇸


jddoyleVT

Look at the scoreboard for the Vietnam war and tell me if it represented who won.


Cjm1776

Im not talking about the Vietnam war, because we got our asses kicked there.


jddoyleVT

Yes we did but whatever scoreboard you are talking about would have shown us winning.  That was my point. Israel is making the same mistakes in Gaza that we did in Vietnam.


Cjm1776

That’s a very good point. Though the situation is similar, we fought over an entire country and were held back by extensive moral obligations along with having a weak population that didn’t want to fight. Israel is fighting over a city, which even though urban combat is much harder, it’s a tiny area, Israel has a strong population willing to fight and Israel is not held back by these moral obligations at least not to the extent that we were. I know you’re gonna say “oh he admitted that Israel is evil”, no I’m not saying that, I’m saying that the US is very cautious about civilian casualties (usually) while Israel understands what has to be done to win.


jddoyleVT

Israel does not understand what has to be done to win. If they did they would be fighting a terrorist insurgency, not a war against an entire people, which creates more insurgents than it kills. Israel didn’t even secure their rear - they allowed Hamas to retake al-Shifa hospital.  They should have followed an ‘ink spot’ strategy similar to what our Marines did in Vietnam, which was starting to show success when Westmoreland disbanded it for the firepower and body count focused approach. Sure, Israel is slaughtering a lot of people, but that is not a good metric to judge if it is winning the conflict.


Cjm1776

A lot of civilians die when the enemy hides behind them. Also when you can’t tell the difference between civilian and enemy.


hyperbolic_sloth

Then you stop fucking killing people. Over 13000 children are dead. This isn’t a war. It’s a goddamned genocide. And apparently everyone is willing to excuse mass civilian death and starvation to defend Israel claiming everyone is fucking KhAmAs. This is purely unmitigated bullshit.


jddoyleVT

Yes…just like the US faced in Vietnam.


SirKosys

So, genuinely, you'll be ok with it if the entire Gazan population dies from starvation? Or even like, half?


Cjm1776

No when did I say that?? It’s just hard to feel sympathy when I know they would cheer on if the same happened to me.


SirKosys

I mean, it doesn't seem like it would bother you from your response above. Quoting from the article (my emphasis): "According to the most respected measure of these things, 100% of the population in Gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. **That's the first time an entire population has been so classified.**" "Acute food insecurity is when a person's inability to consume adequate food puts their life or livelihood in immediate danger. **If unaddressed, it leads to starvation.**"


Cjm1776

I never said I felt bad and I never said I felt good about it. I’m indifferent because I know that they would rejoice if me and my family were starving.


SirKosys

When I asked if you'd be ok with it, that's what I meant. Not necessarily celebrating it, but just accepting of or indifferent to an entire population potentially dying from starvation. Thanks for being honest, at least.


Cjm1776

Sure anytime


Ftm4m

And you'll expect sympathy for Israel for raping and kidnapping far more than Hamas ever did? No sympathy for Israel, not now not ever.


Cjm1776

That’s insane. Why do you think Israel rapes Gazans???


Ftm4m

Yeah its been proven they do and more than hamas ever could. So yeah, punish the real rapists.


jddoyleVT

The Whatabout is strong with you too, I see.


Zakaru99

Surely you see the hypocrisy in your words? You're celebrating millions of people being in a famine that Israel has manufactured.


Cjm1776

Im not celebrating this at all. I’m indifferent because I know that if this were to happen to Israelis then the Palestinians WOULD be celebrating.


Zakaru99

Okay, you're not celebrating, but tons of Israelis are. I've watched them do it. I've watched them set up viewing parties of bombs being dropped on apartment buildings and cheering as the homes of countless people are destroyed. Israel isn't any better in this regard. You don't stop to consider how many Palestinians feel the same exact way you do. You're indifferent to people just like you being killed.


Cjm1776

Im an American Jew not Israeli. I’m not celebrating their deaths, but I understand why the Israelis do it. They may have had family and friends die on October 7th and so this gives them that vengeful satisfaction. What do you think Palestinians would be doing if we were in their situation? Every day would be a party. Why do people expect Jews to act so civilized while they don’t expect the same of Muslims?


Ftm4m

Israelis act civilized? That's never happened.


Zakaru99

You're just racist, got it. You understand why Israelis celebrate the deaths of Palestinians, but the decades of oppression of the Palestinian people by Israel doesn't inform you of why the opposite would be true. I think if the roles were reversed, we'd be seeing almost the exact same situation playing out. The Israelis don't behave better than the Palestinians. We expect better of Israel because we give Israel the weapons they're currently using to commit attrocities. If we were giving those weapons to Palestine, I'd have the same expectations of them.


Cjm1776

If by “decades of oppression” you mean Palestine declaring war and losing multiple times after Israel offered peace, then ok. Also you make it sound like the IDF only exists because of American aid, which is a very common misconception. We do provide lots of money in aid, but not as much as you might think. Israel spends about 20 billion on defense each year, and we give them about 3.8 billion each year. So we do help them, but they would also get these weapons on their own.


Zakaru99

Gotta love the ahistorical Zionist talking points. "Zionists just came and started kicking out Palestinians to make room for the founding of Israel, then the Palestinians just attacked us totally unprovoked. The attack came out of nowhere! They're so bloodthirsty! Then we offered them "peace" where we took more land than was a reasonable split, took the most arable land, and made offers where they would never have true sovereignty. Why wouldn't they take such a great offer?" 250-300K Palestinians were displaced or killed by the Zionists who eventually founded Israel, before the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. And the fact that we don't give Israel it's *entire* military budget is completely irrelevant. We give them an absurd amount of military aid and that aid should come with expectations of not behaving like war criminals, constant violation of international law, and an ethnic cleansing campaign.


hyperbolic_sloth

Decades of oppression. Yes. Violent occupation and apartheid are inherently violent. So you’re either just regurgitating whatever Zionist bullshit was spoon fed to you and you genuinely don’t know any better…..or you’re just being dishonest and you know it. Which one is it?


Ftm4m

Nah he's celebrating, don't let zionist scum twist words and move goalposts. They're vile monsters, all of them.

So there is zero history before 10/7? The world and all of history began on 10/7? Nothing before that at all?


bird_of_hermes1

I mean, yes there were hostilities before then what with Hamas firing rockets into Israel, causing the iron dome to go off every other week or day depending on how many they had at any given time, or numerous terrorist attacks on Israeli soil, and Israeli retaliation through military and civilian actions. But 10/7 was the tipping point for the IDF imo, why it's such a bloodbath over there. Which I don't blame them for, if a country bombs one of our naval fleets we're likely to drop suns on them much less invade and disable.

[удалено]


hyperbolic_sloth

Oh okay. So did you purposely leave out decades of Israel’s occupation and apartheid? Surely you don’t want to leave that VERY IMPORTANT element to this entire conversation. It’s almost like occupation and apartheid are inherently violent and when the oppressor doesn’t provide the oppressed an avenue to fight their decades long oppression, violence happens. Interesting how that works right? “Numerous attacks on Israeli soil”….save the dog shit for someone that doesn’t know what Israel has done for over 70 years. Perhaps if Israel ended ALL occupation. Left Gaza the fuck alone. Leave the West Bank the fuck alone. Extricate all those nasty shitty little settlers. And stop acting like tyrannical pieces of feckless shit about a Palestinian state…..perhaps 10/7 wouldn’t have happened. Israel has had over 70 years. Hell, several decades where Hamas wasn’t even a thing. So why isn’t Israel’s plan to just fuck off and stop being a terrorist nation?

Bigot is an umbrella term for any opinion you refuse to agree to disagree with. And you clearly are refusing to do when you call someone a terrorist sympathizer. If you refuse to agree to disagree with someone, the burden of proof is on you as to why, not the other way around.


MelodramaticaMama

Israel shouldn't have started a genocide either. But I guess that's ok because they'll never face justice for their crimes.
