Blinken: ‘Israel Has Not Acted in a Manner That’s Consistent with International Humanitarian Law’
Breitbart ^ | 05.12.2024 | Pam Key

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that during the war with Hamas “Israel has not acted in a manner that’s consistent with international humanitarian law.”

Partial transcript as follows:

MARGARET BRENNAN: There are deep concerns about the Palestinian death toll, as even Prime Minister Netanyahu conceded that his forces have in fact killed more civilians than members of Hamas. We begin this morning with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who joins us from the State Department. Good morning, Mr. Secretary. I know military experts say Gaza is as complicated and challenging a battlefield as any modern warfare has seen. But back in December, President Biden said Israel conducted indiscriminate bombing. In February, he said Israel’s offensive was over the top. And then this past week, he was asked on CNN about pausing the delivery of 3,500 bombs. Here’s what he said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers. I made it clear that if they go into Rafah…I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah- to deal with the cities to deal with that problem.

Israel is dropping leaflets in Gaza warning residents of impending attacks. We never issued any sort of warning when we dropped firebombs and nukes on Japan.

It seems we made an attempt to drop leaflets warning the Japanese population of impending bombing, but they didn't go to the two cities that ended up getting the atom bomb. cf. Warning Leaflets In any case, the second bomb was supposed to be dropped on Kokura, with Nagasaki an afterthought due to the inclement weather.

The Israelis always bend over backwards to follow international law, and beyond.

Yes, why isn’t Hamas and Palestinians held to the same standard? Hummm...
I guess it’s like the double standards applied here for Democrats vs Republicans.

That statement goes along with all the anti-Israel statements at the United Nations since 1948. Israel can do nothing right to them because they want Israel killed off.

So Biden weapons cutoff and this statement embolden Arabs to kill more Israelis and American anti-semites to up the stakes on confronting Jews on college campuses.

Leave no Hamas barbarian standing. Words to live by.

There is no “international humanitarian law” while such savages still exist.

I guarantee if there’s
gonna be bombs landing
and tanks headed my
way, I dang sure wouldn’t
be hangin’ around. Those
that do should be
considered as part of
the opposition.
Nowhere to go is a sorry
excuse, especially when
loved ones are endangered.
Isreal gave fair warning
to get the h*ll out of the
way.

Rednecks remain ignorant and refuse enlightenment. They prefer to support the Iranian surrogate terrorists allies of Russia.

Yeah, how about holding HAMAS to that standard? Stop stealing the aid meant for civilians; stop using them as human shields.
