U.S. Gov't Agencies Found Israel Was Blocking Gaza Aid. Blinken Ignored Them to Keep Weapons Flowing

Support our work: democracynow.o...
We speak with Brett Murphy, the ProPublica reporter behind a blockbuster exposé that revealed the Biden administration ignored warnings from its own experts about Israel blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza in order to keep supplying the country with weapons. USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the State Department's refugees bureau both concluded earlier this year that Israeli authorities routinely impeded delivery of food and medicine into the devastated Palestinian territory, where hunger, disease and displacement have wreaked havoc on the civilian population. Although U.S. law requires the government to stop arms shipments to countries that prevent the delivery of U.S.-backed aid, Secretary of State Antony Blinken ignored the findings and told Congress Israel was not restricting humanitarian assistance - helping to keep weapons flowing to the Israeli military to continue its assault on Gaza.

Blinken to Haag

[@Use_fediverse-7814]

Hague. There's two official organizations, ICC which goes by the Rome Statute, and the ICJ which is a function of the UN.

[@panchosvillos]

Blinken…..Probably the worst secretary of state ever

[@holaclive]

Stop the supply of weapons

[@fatinhermiz8729]

This is known many months ago Blinken words are always very soft when it is about Israeli ongoing Genoside and other war crimes

[@vivavasquez]

Blinken with his puppy dog eyes tries to make you feel like making him feel bad about committing genocide is mean and antisemitic.

[@Saba-fn5ub]

poor guy those bags under his eyes will reach his pinochio nose soon

ISRAELI enjoy universal healthcare coverage AMERICANS do not. who needs most to keep their TAX money for internal needs?

[@IronChin100]

Don't forget paid education. Not sure how we are gonna afford college for our kids the way tuition has sky rocketed.

[@JVSfit23]

Hell they have ALL the social programs that we are told there is no money for. Our money is enough to give Israel all their programs but not enough for who the money comes from.

Both parties politicians had become their hostages and behaving like slaves for them

[@Lynn-i2w]

I have lost faith in the Democratic Party. I’m 70s and have been a life long democrat. After this year, no more.

[@Use_fediverse-7814]

​@@Lynn-i2wJoe Bidet has been this way as Senator since 1973. Never let someone like him into power, ever. They will ruin well meaning institutions with their personal pathology.

ΚΑΛΗΣΠΕΡΑ ΣΑΣ ΑΠΟ ΧΑΝΙΑ ΚΡΗΤΗΣ,,ΣΑΣ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΟΥΜΕ ΚΥΡΙΑ ΓΚΟΥΝΤΜΑΝ,ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΕΓΚΥΡΗ ΕΝΗΜΕΡΩΣΗ!!!

[@roni_aust1594]

We've always known that Bliken is one of the world's bigest liars. BUT. The question is, what is being done about it.

[@seedsowlife]

Trials for war crimes. He has broken US federal as well as international laws.

[@TrustMe55]

There was Blinken way out if you wanted a cease fire, but he missed his opportunity. He’s an Israeli citizen. Get him out of Congress.

[@OH-uo3nq]

Save Gaza

[@bambicrandi]

NO SH!T IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS.

[@abdullahbueno7532]

Within the United States, there are five laws that every day the state department is violating as it approves ships and cargo planes full of weapons. 1. The foreign assistance act which forbid the provision of assistance to a government which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. 2. The arms export control act Which says that countries that receive military aid can only use weapons for legitimate self-defense and internal security. 3. The US war crimes act which forbids grave breaches of the Geneva conventions including the willful torture, killing, or inhuman treatment. 4. The Leahy law (leahy amendment)which prohibits the US government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces, or where there is credible information implicating that unit in commission gross violations of human rights. 5. The genocide convention implementation act , which was enacted to implement US obligations under the genocide convention. Israel pushed for that and provides criminal penalties for individuals who commit to commit genocide. - Chris Hegdes- normal Finkelstein and Chris hedges discuss Israel, Gazza, and October 7 at Princeton from the real news network podcast.

[@JVSfit23]

Repeat these facts again because our own government isn’t hearing it

[@SusanBreloff]

The RICO ABA MAFIA could not care less about laws. They have all the $,power and control.

[@scotttatertot69]

Chris Hedges and Finkelstein are some of the most morally consistent and well read journalist/academics I know. They're an inspiration to me, proof that it is possible to have a consistent moral compass and stick to it.

[@tonyh8371]

blinken is henry kissinger2.0

[@RL-pe5cz]

Blinken should face personal legal liability for his lies

[@Lynn-i2w]

I agree. The families of Palestinians should take his butt to court.
