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 Has Not Acted in a Manner That’s Consistent with International Humanitarian Law’

Israel? ISRAEL??????

The Japanese acted the same in Nanking as Hamas did on 10/7. Moreover, the Japanese slow-massacred tens of thousands throughout the Philippines, and also in Singapore, and thousands at Pearl Harbor, and broke every POW rule in the book, and of course the hundred thousand or more throughout China in its years there. And what do ethicists rant on about decade after decade after decade? That we dropped a bomb on Hiroshima to stop the Japanese from continuing to do all of that more and more and more--which is what Israel will be doing when it enters Rafah and rids the world of evil, genocidal Hamas.

Islam throughout its 13 centuries of history has not acted in a manner that is consistent with international humanitarian law--and it isn't a bug in the Islam code, it's a feature.

I am sick to death of idiots and fools and Satanic co-conspirators. It's time to stand with the righteous, and Hamas ain't it.

War is hell.

You can’t tell Israel they have to stop the war because Hamas refuses to surrender.

so, did Blinken also happen to mention that Hamas “had Not Acted in a Manner That’s Consistent with International Humanitarian Law” when they launched a massive sneak attack on Israel and slaughtered thousands of women and children and kidnapped additional thousands and then slaughtered them later?

Blinken will suffer immensely at some future point. The more pain, the better. He deserves it.

Two words: Tora Bora.

Has everyone forgotten that the United States agreed to a temporary cease-fire at Tora Bora, and this allowed Osama bin Laden to escape capture for 10 more years?

What is it with weak American leaders who are afraid of finishing off a defeated enemy that started the war in the first place?

Let Israel finish the job. It's what the other Middle East countries want, but can't say out loud.

Was this supposed to be an interview transcript of Blinken? Or Biden? What was posted in confusing, IMO.

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.
