Here’s how stupid former Secretary of State Antony Blinken thinks you are: Watch him tell Amanpour that the war could have ended if pro-Palestinian protestors had just called for Hamas to disarm and release the hostages.

Check on your hometown. I recently spoke with a group of Georgia elected officials who were surprised to learn their state had loaned $25 million to Israel, including $10 million Governor Kemp committed after Israel began carpet bombing Gaza post-October 7.

Not so tacit anymore

Trump using his leverage to choose Israel’s ruler (like Biden did in Lebanon last year).

The tacit threat here is that Trump could reduce military support if Israel’s judiciary prosecutes Netanyahu. I wonder if this statement was one of Netanyahu’s conditions for a ceasefire with Iran.

I wish @schumer.senate.gov had considered the very real risk of collective blame BEFORE he spent 19 months breathlessly equating American Jews with a genocidal foreign state.

2 weeks after I wrote @harvard.edu shouldn’t reputation launder the “Kissinger knock-offs” responsible for atrocities in Gaza, Harvard ups the ante and names Jake Sullivan as inaugural “Henry A. Kissinger Professor of Statecraft and World Order.”

McGurk was principle evangelist for a US-Saudi defense pact, a proposition as worthless as it sounds if assessed from an *American* perspective.

One of his last acts at the NSC was to lie to @chrisvanhollen.bsky.social that the UAE was no longer arming the RSF in Sudan.

H/t @jeremyscahill.com

Jewish state adopts poison gas as weapon of choice.

@972mag-rss.bsky.social: The IDF killed Israeli hostages and countless Palestinians through doctrinal carpet bombing that “intentionally weaponized toxic byproducts of bombs to suffocate militants in their tunnels.”

She also candidly admits that Biden admin’s push last summer for a pan-Arab peacekeeping force in Gaza was “magical thinking”

On the Saudi-Israel normalization cure-all that Biden was hawking as recently as last October: The Biden admin had never actually gotten buy-in from Israel even *before* the Oct 7 attacks.
