“As I said in private and in public, we believe Palestinian people’s voices and aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza. We believe in Palestinian-led governance of Gaza, with Gaza unified with the West Bank. Gaza’s reconstruction must be supported with a sustained mechanism.”
Israel should annex Gaza and eliminate it. Same with Judea and Sumatra. If the palis don’t like it let them go live with other Arabs. This has gone on long enough. I would never have the restraint Israel has.
“...deliver us from evil...”
The Army of Satan is alive and well in the US of FUBAR
The 7th century Islamic theocracy in Iran is supported by the Marxists, and they all want to talk about nuclear weapons.
Gosh. It's almost like the Powers That Be are trying to destroy the world ...
How did Afghanistan work out.
Israel is an ally...

“Where are the House Republican committee chairmen? Where are the Senate Republicans?”
Doing what they always do, nothing. No bark, no bite, no plans...
Let me guess, McCain had one of his broken clock moments in opposing Blinken’s confirmation.
“Antony Blinken’s plot to destroy Israel, exposed”
Actually, Blinken exposed it himself when he IMMEDIATELY Tweeted for Israel to not retaliate for the attack on Oct 7th.
...only to have to immediate pull it, when the Democrats needed more time (4 days) to figure out which side to take, or really appear to take.
“… Gaza’s reconstruction must be supported with a sustained mechanism…”
**********************************************************************
Absolutely no funds from US taxpayers. The Gazans brought their destruction on themselves… let THEM live with the consequences.
Secretary of State Blinken has a lot of Muslim countries he wants to keep happy.
On State Department (and globali$t) scales, ~1.2 billion Muslims outweigh ~10 million Jews in Israel.
I’m sure Blinken was forced to do this to placate our Arab allies in the region.
.........although the poll was taken by some Arab based outfit, thus it’s almost certain to be waayyyy off base, it declared that 73% of Gazan’s STILL supported Hamas even after Hamas’s Nazi like deeds on October 7.
Assuming 73% is somewhere close to right, and I think it probably is, then Israel has no choice but mass, humane deportation of that 73% (in years to come) and permanent day to day control of the Gaza strip.

Robert Malley (born 1963) is an American lawyer, political scientist and specialist in conflict resolution, who was the lead negotiator on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)....Assistant to National Security Advisor Sandy Berger from 1996 to 1998.
Malley was born in 1963 to Barbara (née Silverstein) Malley, a New Yorker who worked for the United Nations delegation of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN), and her husband, Simon Malley (1923–2006), a Syrian-Egyptian Jewish journalist who grew up in Egypt and worked as a foreign correspondent for Al Gomhuria. The elder Malley spent time in New York, writing about international affairs, particularly about nationalist, anti-imperial movements in Africa, and made a key contribution by putting the FLN on the world map.
In 1969, the elder Malley moved his family—including son Robert—to France, where he founded the leftist magazine Africasia (later known as Afrique Asia). Robert attended École Jeannine Manuel, a prestigious bilingual school in Paris, and graduated in the same class (1980) as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The Malleys remained in France until 1980, when then French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing briefly expelled Simon Malley from the country to New York, due to his hostility towards French policies in Africa.
Malley attended Yale University, and was a 1984 Rhodes Scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he earned a D.Phil. in political philosophy. There he wrote his doctoral thesis about Third-worldism and its decline. Malley continued writing about foreign policy, including extended commentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He earned a J.D. at Harvard Law School, where he met his future wife, Caroline Brown. Another fellow law school student was Barack Obama. In 1991–1992, Malley clerked for Supreme Court Justice Byron White, while Brown clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
According to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, Malley provided informal advice to the campaign in the past without having any formal role in the campaign. On May 9, 2008, the campaign severed ties with Malley when the British Times reported that Malley had been in discussions with the militant Palestinian group Hamas, listed by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization. In response, Malley told The Times he had been in regular contact with Hamas officials as part of his work with the International Crisis Group. “My job with the International Crisis Group is to meet with all sorts of savory and unsavory people and report on what they say. I’ve never denied whom I meet with; that’s what I do”, Malley told NBC News, adding that he informs the State Department about his meetings beforehand and briefs them afterward.
Malley was the lead U.S. negotiator on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed on July 14, 2015, which aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear activities and ensure international inspections of its nuclear facilities in exchange for lifting economic sanctions. In describing the negotiating challenges, Malley later wrote in The Atlantic, “The real choice in 2015 was between achieving a deal that constrained the size of Iran’s nuclear program for many years and ensured intrusive inspections forever, or not getting one, meaning no restrictions at all coupled with much less verification.
[The idea of steady cash flow in exchange for zero centrifuges escaped him.]
In August 2023, an Iranian state-run media outlet published a purported State Department memo from April 21, 2023, which stated that Malley’s security clearance was suspended over “serious security concerns” related to his “personal conduct,” “handling of protected information” and “use of information technology.” The memo’s veracity was backed by a person familiar with the Malley investigation, according to Politico. Former State Department officials have also confirmed that the memo matches standard State Department style.
The State Department did not immediately notify members of Congress of Malley’s security clearance suspension.

The reason Obama wants Iran to have nukes is because they will use them, and the target will be Israel.
WHY do SO DAMN MANY JEWS HATE ISRAEL???
Never forget all the disasters the Biden whisperer has unleashed in a mere three years.
And his party he couldn’t do it alone.
Obama winks

When Blinken say Palestinian aspirations must be at the heart of future plans, what does he mean?
There has to be a government. Law enforcement. Economic policy. Peaceful relations with neighbors. Education.
The Palestinians have not shown any capacity to produce any of that.
Why talk about aspirations until there is some sort of functional reality. So far giving Palestinian organizations control of anything has only produced chaos.
There may well be a future day when the aspirations should be at the heart of plans, but that day is not now.
It doesn’t even matter that Israel may not have been supportive of a separate Palestinian state. How could they be supportive of what doesn’t exist and doesn’t appear likely to exist for the immediate future.
