The Obama-Biden-Blinken “realignment” is well under way, and the consequences are dire for Israel and the United States — and indeed for the rest of the world.
It is now crystal clear that Secretary of State Antony Blinken is exploiting the Iranian-backed Hamas war to destroy the existing state of Israel through the use of threats, blackmail, leaks, the media, diplomatic backstabbing, the Arab states, the European Union, and the United Nations.
In a State Department memo dated Monday, November 13, Blinken explained America’s posture toward the Arabs in Gaza. It’s madness. He wrote:
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.
We also underscored America's firm opposition to actions that would undermine efforts to build lasting peace and security. No forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians from Gaza - not now, not after the fighting stops. No reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict. No attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza. No reduction in the territory of Gaza. No use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism or other violent attacks, and no tolerating the use of the West Bank to carry out such attacks. No more violence from extremist settlers in the West Bank.
These steps are not ends in themselves. They must lead to Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in states of their own, with equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity, and dignity. That’s not something we can put off discussing until after this crisis is over. This discussion must happen now.
This also explains the current pressure campaign by leftists in Israel to try to topple the Netanyahu-led conservative government and replace it with radical left-wing parties that will deliver Israel to the effective control of the U.S. State Department, where Blinken, a mere appointed Cabinet secretary, will determine Israel's fate.
Israel will not survive the Blinken plan — certainly not for long. This has been the plan for Israel since Barack Obama was president, when Blinken was deputy secretary of state. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) was 100% right when he went to the Senate floor to excoriate Blinken and refused to support his confirmation.
Blinken, the Biden whisperer, is behind pouring $100 billion into rearming Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen. Blinken set the Middle East on fire immediately upon taking office nearly three years ago. He has lifted or refused to enforce virtually every sanction on Iran. Blinken destroyed the popular uprising against the ayatollahs, when the Iranians sought to remove their murderous regime, by backing Tehran over its people.
Worse, Blinken chose Robert Malley, a Marxist supporter of Iran, as the U.S. envoy to negotiate another nuclear deal. And what did Malley do? He installed a high-level Iranian spy ring in D.C. and undermined our nation (and Israel) at every turn.
The Obama-Biden-Blinken “realignment” is well under way, and the consequences are dire for Israel and the United States — and indeed for the entire Middle East and the world. It is a hideous and diabolical plan, being instituted right now without any transparency, involvement from Congress, or the knowledge and consent of the American people. It is the brainchild of a small cabal of rogue, radical left-wing foreign policy arsonists who could easily trigger World War III.
The question is: How long will this go on before Blinken is stopped? Where are the House Republican committee chairmen? Where are the Senate Republicans? Where are conservative think tanks? Where are the conservative media? (This publication excepted, of course.)
I understand that the left-wing corporate media and the Democratic Party are worse than useless. In fact, they are propagandists for this administration’s malign policies, from Thomas Friedman at the New York Times to Jamie Raskin in the House of Representatives.

But if there is not an organized pushback immediately, a relentless and public demand for accountability and transparency, and an immediate impeachment inquiry directed at Blinken (successful or not), then evil will prevail. Never forget all the disasters the Biden whisperer has unleashed in a mere three years running American foreign policy and the death, inhumanity, and impoverishment he has imposed on one region and society after another. Enough is enough.
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.
“The Indonesians might have something to say about Sumatra.“
Yeah, I’m getting hammered on that. I caught the “correction” of Judea, but missed the other. My iPhone is biased. You type in the word president and it suggests “Obama”. You then have to type Trum before it will suggest Trump.

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.

I can't believe everyone else got it wrong. (/s)
Am Yisrael Chai!
The population of the island of Java is greater than the entire russian Federation
The whole mess of them have been catering to muslim states while destroying the US. Enough already.
Samaria, Sumatra, Sumeria, Siberia. It’s all the same!
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???
They’re secular, leftist democrats first.
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
...
“We initiated the coup in Ukraine...how did that work out...”
Link please
How will such a thing transpire?
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.
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.
We also underscored America's firm opposition to actions that would undermine efforts to build lasting peace and security. No forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians from Gaza - not now, not after the fighting stops. No reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict. No attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza. No reduction in the territory of Gaza. No use of Gaza as a platform for terrorism or other violent attacks, and no tolerating the use of the West Bank to carry out such attacks. No more violence from extremist settlers in the West Bank.
These steps are not ends in themselves. They must lead to Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in states of their own, with equal measures of security, freedom, opportunity, and dignity. That’s not something we can put off discussing until after this crisis is over. This discussion must happen now.
This is basically just a description of the "two-state solution" that is the status quo in terms of foreign policy for most nations on Earth, as has been the case for decades.
Now, Mark is free to decry this idea all he wants. But lambasting Blinken (who deserves to be lambasted for all sorts of things) for it, as though this was all his idea, just makes Levin sound like an idiot.
Palestinians seem to have one kind of aspiration & that is to kill those they don’t agree with & that seems to include most anyone else. I don’t think Blinken is to be trusted & part of that is based on why he was chosen by Biden, also not trusted by most people. Yes, this is just an opinion but one must make choices, so let those choices be based on what is known.
