Chaos erupts at Antony Blinken’s final press conference as reporter is forcibly removed: ‘You should be in the Hague!’
The New York Post ^ | 01/16/2025 | Josh Christenson

Chaos erupted at Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s final press conference Thursday after an announced Israel-Hamas cease-fire and hostage deal, with State Department employees forcibly removing reporters who accused the cabinet official of allowing a “genocide” in Gaza.

Grayzone News journalist Max Blumenthal exited the briefing after prompting by aides at the department, and independent journalist Sam Husseini was dragged out after both tore into Blinken for not reaching the cease-fire agreement sooner.

“Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?” Blumenthal asked. “Why did you allow my friends’ homes in Gaza to be destroyed?”

Husseini was arrested and carried out of the session while Blinken was still speaking.

“You pontificate about a free press!” he erupted. “I am asking questions after being told by [spokesman] Matt Miller that he will not answer my questions,” Husseini screeched on his way out.

“Criminal! Why aren’t you in The Hague! Why aren’t you in The Hague! Why aren’t you in The Hague!”

The reference to one of the Netherlands’ two capitals presumably refers to the International Criminal Court located there.

In Blinken’s defense...his family owns stock in the companies that make those bombs.

If Max has friends in Gaza, I suggest he should get better friends.

ha ha. For all the times the Democrats snuck in protesters to disrupt the Republicans from the State of the Union to congressional committees, the Democrats just got a dose of what they do to others.

Blinken or Blumenthal ?

Blinken is the bigger threat to the US. Blumenthal is harmless*

* He is the closest thing to a real journalist you could find these days, so yes, Deep Staters of all stripes loath him.

is the loss of innocent life being accurately reported, or is/was that immaterial to the just eradication of Hamas?

Well I don’t think we have a full count of those innocent captured on 10/7 but we’re getting closer to knowing who is still alive and who died in the tunnels or were tortured to death. I assume that’s who you were referring to.

“Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?” Blumenthal asked. “Why did you allow my friends’ homes in Gaza to be destroyed?”

Because hamass had not yet surrendered in the war they started. They are welcome to release all the hostages and surrender unconditionally, and the bombs will stop.

I promise.

——Why did you allow my friends’ homes in Gaza to be destroyed-—

Because destroying your homes in Connecticut is too dangerous
