Speaking at a news conference in Doha, Qatar, alongside Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Mr. Blinken said that “a deal was on the table that was virtually identical” to one that Hamas put forward on May 6.

At some point, he said, “you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.”

    Fuck Blinken and fuck the NYT

    Fuck anyone that gives speeches at AIPAC and expects us to believe they’re not bought off already

    https://www.state.gov/secretary-antony-j-blinken-at-the-2023-american-israel-public-affairs-committee-policy-summit/

    Now, I have to admit – (applause) – thank you. As I was talking with Michael and Howard and the other senior leadership of AIPAC a moment ago, I said my lifelong ambition has already been fulfilled by AIPAC because a few years ago – some of you may have been there – I got to appear in the Dallas Cowboys football stadium on a jumbotron. (Laughter.) Never thought that would happen. It’s thanks to you.

    Motherfuckers don’t even try to deny that they’ve been bought off.

    If you’re mad conservatives buy off SC justices with trips and bribes, then you should be pissed off when other high level government officials are bought off.

    And AIPAC buys a shit ton of government officials, regardless of party or anything else.

    They just require complete dedication to Israel over everything else

      Why is it hard to believe that the people who started this war don’t actually want it to end

        What?

        I agree with that (except calling this genocide a war).

        Israel started it decades ago, and openly keep saying they won’t let it end until their genocide is finished.

        They don’t want it to end yet, because there’s still Palestinians alive in Gaza.
