Blinken is useless

[@user-jk6ed9ux1t]

Worthless

[@bretthousley5502]

It is not worth the airfare to send him over.

[@iFryTube]

Blinken is trying to make sure Trump doesn't get into power. He knows this is a political trap thus he's acting. Cant blame him for protecting his boss. I'd do the same.

Too profitable for democrats

How does the finger wagging going for him? The propaganda by media and Blinken is a spit on our intelligence!

Sure he does. . .

I think Natanyahu chose Blinken as US Secretary of State. You can see it by the smirk on his face.

[@blackrocks8413]

If Blinken is against it.....then yeah we should support it.

[@StraLo90]

Oh yeah? Is that what he told you?

[@riojoe5156]

Fake. He is faking it.

You guys are joking they already talked behind close door to attack these is just to pretend to full the world

Blinken, Talk is cheap. You can stop acting now. The world knows the score now. This plan has been in place since 1967.

[@naziraahmed6669]

He opposes them then provide weapons they need to invade Rafah

[@saadologue]

Don't attack them with the weopons I am sending you. Wink wink

[@theedspage]

Blinken finally getting a conscious and a backbone? He needs to follow through and stay opposed.

[@beerman204]

When voters in Israel reelected Netanyahu not that long ago, I felt a pain in my stomach. And here we are.

Was that before hamas broke in Isreal and kidnapped and killed 1200 people that day.

[@johndoe-zz1nr]

Blinken can’t force Benji for a ceasefire but instead trying to force or convince Hamus for a ceasefire by saying ball is in Hamus court or Hamus has a generous and extraordinary offer

[@larryolsen4422]

I'm sure Netanyahu opposes Blinken aiding the enemy

[@ggaggagga4]

Netanyahu knows he will be out of a job as soon as the nation is finished with active combat but I refuse to believe that he is slow-rolling things to hang on a little while longer. I pray he will ignore DC and send in those two Divisions into Rafah to finish Hamas as an organized military or governmental entity.

[@johnbernacki6155]

[@glitch9065]

@@ggaggagga4 Just a quick comment we don't have to dive into things, do you really genuinely think Izrell can finish hummus? they have created x100 the numbers, the people who are responsible for the 7th are the children that were spared in the 2014 war, that's what an ex-IOF soldier revealed after quitting being a part of g-cide.

Somebody needs to remind Blinken that thanks to the two deeply corrupt political parties, he is talking to his boss.

[@indoworldhero429]

Blinkin is blinked 😂😂😂

[@noneyabeeswax3200]

Does Blinken actually believe anyone listens to or cares the tiniest bit about what he says or thinks? Surely no one can be so naive in this new woke world

[@ceocommunications1248]

Who cares what Blinken thinks. He wasn’t voted but instead appointed to his position. He will be gone in 6 months.

[@bretthousley5502]

Whose Blinken?

hey youtube this topic should have its own section.

Does he? Really?

So?

Every armchair "expert" here knows more than the people actually INVOLVED in the issue(s).

[@otarberidze9298]

Blinkin is good for doing hair at the barbershop, there are rumors that he does hair on Brighton Beach at Russian mafia.

[@commonsense504]

Im sure he does. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge

Sounds like you really don’t want to know…. All the info is out there

Why Ga za Strip would not release hostages? Why can't Jordan and Egypt accept those from the Ga za?

[@rolandgrz1975]

Accept them to your house ..

[@cesarventura2111]

Blinden is not against, but he is in favor of a military operation on Gaza, is basically what’s he is saying, when he don’t stop that madman Netanyahu

[@-in-the-meantime...]

Probably has money invested in arms manufacturing like the rest of Washington... 😑

[@carsi7282]

How many Isra'eli citizen or dual citizen own property in the USA? It all should be seized under civil forfeiture and given to the Palestinian refugees that the USA plans to bring in. Anothony Blinken's mansion in Arlington is the first to be taken and given to any Palestinian refugee. No compensation has to be given since the property value was used in a domestic & international crime

[@mackthnife3]

Stop already Tony.

[@ehsanahmadi7093]

devil in human skin

[@ggaggagga4]

These families are grieving and are willing to do anything to get their loved ones out. The problem is that the lives of 100 or fewer citizens cannot justify the surrender of a nation at war. This situation is partly Israel's fault for handing over 1000 prisoners for a single IDF soldier. A nation that can be manipulated in such a way, may not survive the evils of these days. I pray for and believe in Israel and its right to be in the land.

[@TonnySBrown-yx4od]

Now,talking about taking hostages is,Israel 🇮🇱 is in war,not playing marble like children on the streets of Israel, so its citizens should stay alert and stay focused, its not time to sleep and have marry and letting your enemies come grabbing you and taking you hostages!!

Don't send them money problem solved

[@CommonCents-rq5tg]

Ok. Antony Blinken How about this: Israel will do as you ask here and not remove the last 4 Hamas battalions in Rafah if you and your family relocate to Israel. Put your money where your mouth is. If you expect the Israelis to accept your position of leaving the Hamas terror regime intact in Gaza then I think it’s only fair that you and your family make your Aliyah to Israel now and lead by example.

Good afternoon Mr Brown ❤️🇺🇲🦾😇
