Antony Blinken Accuses Israel of Trying to ‘Dehumanize’ Palestinians
Breitbart ^ | 7 Feb 2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

JERUSALEM, Israel — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the shocking accusation late Wednesday night during a press briefing in Israel’s capital that Israel is “dehumaniz[ing]” Palestinians in Gaza because of the humanitarian toll of the war in Gaza.

“Israelis were dehumanized in the most horrific way on October 7th,” Blinken said. “The hostages have been demonized every day since. But that cannot be a license to dehumanize others.” He did not provide any evidence that Israel has been “dehumanizing” Palestinians, but simply seemed to suggest that the suffering of Palestinian civilians who “had nothing to do with the attacks of October 7th” was a form of dehumanization. “We cannot, we must not, lose sight of our common humanity,” Blinken declared.

The accusation — which resonates with claims made by Israel’s critics and enemies, including at the International Court of Justice at The Hague — was part of Blinken’s prepared text; it was not a gaffe or an off-the-cuff remarks made in the heat of the moment.

Of course he didn’t. Leftists never provide evidence for their wild claims. The accusations are enough.

They are animals. Nothing human about their behavior.

Maybe Blinken meant “the way the media and Democrats dehumanize Christians, Maga and conservatives”?

If the Palestinians continue to dehumanize Israelis ...
But Israel is told to not dehumanize Palestinians ...

Wouldn’t that be “disproportionate” dehumanization?

What about ugly mouth this liar has.
The only people who’ve dehumanized them Fakestinians are Fakestinian Arabs rhtnselves.
Israel has afforded them immense assistance and funding over many many years
Blinken needs to be replaced asap. He’s the antithesis of a diplomat

Ever since the actions of a certain Mssr. Yassir Arafat, and his organization, the Palestine Liberation Organization, involving the 1972 Munich Olympics, a cruise ship in the Meditterranean and tossing a wheelchaired senior citizen overboard, to every attack by them and their supporters, invalidate themselves as being ‘humane’

Islam dehumanized them. Turned them into killer robots.

The vast majority of “Palestinians” have no issue with Israelis being slaughtered as they were on Oct 7 as we’ve seen, have no issue with calls to wipe Israel off the map literally. Is that the mentality of someone I should consider human? You cannot beat these folks into submission... they are all dead enders... they simply know no better. A two state solution is only going to prolong the conflict, not end it because Hamas (Iran) cannot allow for an Israel.

Hamas had already dehumanized themselves and the Palestinians by their actions on Oct 7, especially since many “civilian” Palestinians took part in the atrocities.

They’ve done quite well keeping themselves dehumanized for thousand of years and have no plans to change things now.

Blinken has failed to get Israel to let up on the koranimals in Gaza so the name-calling and accusations begin. Expect the anti-Israel rhetoric from the O’Biden administration to escalate.

I like to think of Obama and his operatives to be like the giant bug in “Men in Black I”. Whenever a cockroach (muslim) get squashed, the big bug gets enraged.
