Talk is cheap, watch what they do.
Yes, talk is cheap - I agree with you on that dfwgator, but in this case Blinken is speaking to the people who are HIS base - his words in this care are NOT cheap.
They're dear.
His was an act of rebellion - - telling truth to a roomful of idiot members of the press and of his own party.
The hard truth is that HAMAS is NOT being held to any kind of standard whatsoever - and Israel is being held to a standard a Saint would have a hard time with.
All this crap about NOT holding evil to any standard is in itself evil. And for Blinken to say that to that bunch is courageous. I'm not a Blinken fan but I do respect his courage in speaking truth in the face of the powerful filth that fills those rooms.
