Blinken should be in prison for the rest of his pathetic life

Oh? Because he's not abandoning our ally? There's no crime on his part. Just you promoting terrorism.

[@chrisdurham1144]

@@nomylearnspalestine The region historically is Judea. The Romans re-named it to Palestine. There is no country of Palestine. We've tried to give Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank their own country, but they have always refused. As to "zionism,," that ship sailed a long time ago. Israel is here to stay.

[@nomylearnspalestine]

@@chrisdurham1144 Israel is not here to stay and has no "right to exist" in Palestine if you love them then give them your homeland so dont be a weird ignorant and check for yourself what happened in 1948 how they forcefully displaced 750k Palestinians but Palestinians WILL return. Trying to gaslight me and whitewash israeli terrorism won't work. Calling Palestinians "arab" is zio identity erasure ew. Why should Palestinians have to agree and accept to gove their land away to some random zio colonisers. Use that brain of yours.

She meant "we" herself, Clinton, and the United States.

James 1:22-25 22 But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER of the Word, and not a DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightaway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being NOT a forgetful hearer but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED IN HIS DEED.

This isn't really news. This happens whenever an executive official (Lloyd Austin for example) testifies in Congress. To answer your question, they're allowed in because anyone can go view a congressional hearing live and there is no rule that says they cannot attend. However, when they break the rule of remaining quiet they are removed. This does not result in criminal charges, so they come back and do it again the next day.

Because of the utter impunity, flouting of international and humanitarian law, massive monetary and weapons support Israel has enjoyed for many decades now, the insane hypocrisy and double standards. The U.S. was very quick to condemn Russia for bombing just a tiny fraction of the infrastructure in Ukraine compared to the utter obliteration and mass slaughter of children in Gaza the U.S. has bankrolled and approved of. Most Americans now recognize and condemn South Africa's apartheid system, yet Israel is still allowed to preside over their own- while the U.S. bankrolls & provides the technology, bulldozers and weapons to maintain that evil system.
