Anthony Blinken appears on CBS Face the Nation to discuss the U.S. response to the Israeli war against Hamas terrorists. Margaret Brennan clutches her pearls and gives her best defense of Hamas/Palestinian terrorists. But the babies and the children, or something; all of that is propaganda. WATCH:
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is at the State Department. Good morning to you, Mr. Secretary.
SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN: Morning, Margaret, good to be with you.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Tension is very high in the region. Are you changing your security posture? Are you pulling any US personnel out of the area?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Margaret, we are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies, escalating their attacks against our own personnel, our own people. We’re taking every measure to make sure that we can defend them and if necessary, respond decisively. Not at all what we’re looking for, not all we want, but we’ll be prepared, if that’s what they choose to do.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So it sounds like quite possibly pulling people out. In terms of the threat from Iran, you just referenced there, President Biden in his Oval Office address said that the U.S. would hold Iran accountable. What does accountable mean?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Well, what you’ve seen already, Margaret is very- a very clear message from the President, backed up by the deployment of two of our largest aircraft carrier battle groups, to make sure that it’s clear. No one should take advantage of this moment to escalate to further attacks on Israel or for that matter attacks on us, on our personnel. And this is not by way of, in terms of what we’re doing by provocation, it’s designed to deter, designed to make clear that no one should use this moment in any way to escalate. No one wants a second front, a third front, and at the same time, we want to make sure that our own people in the region, wherever they are, are safe and protected, and that we’re in a place as we are to respond decisively if we need to. The President’s been clear about that, both in what he said and in what we’re doing.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We’ll stay tuned. In terms of what’s happening in Gaza. I know there are an estimated 500-600 Americans there. There are only two ways out. One is through the Rafah gate to Egypt. It does not appear any Americans have made it out that way. There’s also another Erez Crossing into Israel. Is there any chance Israel lets some of those Americans out or Egypt allows some of those Americans in?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: We have- you’re exactly right. We have several hundred Americans and other nationalities, other civilians from- from other countries who want to leave Gaza. We’ve had people come to Rafah, the crossing with Egypt. And to date, at least, Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing once again, its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are- who are stuck in Gaza. This is something that we’re working, again, virtually every single day. We have in the- right now in the region on the ground, one of our most experienced diplomats, David Satterfield, working with the different governments concerned with- with Israel, with Egypt, to make sure that we’re ready to be able to get people out, assuming Hamas lets them move. So really, the ball is in Hamas’ court, in terms of letting people who want to leave, civilians from third countries including Americans get out of Gaza.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Just to be clear, you’re saying Hamas is preventing Americans from leaving Gaza?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: That’s correct.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And there are no US personnel who are able to help on the ground?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: We have U.S. personnel on the other side of the border in Egypt, consular personnel who can immediately help and assist those Americans who want to leave. We’re working this very, very actively every day, including with partners who may have influenced connections with Hamas that we don’t have, to make sure that people can get out. So we’re tracking this. We want to make sure it happens.
MARGARET BRENNAN: In terms of the Americans who are believed to be unaccounted for or potentially hostages. Does Hamas have all of them or do other militant groups have them?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Look, you’ll understand I can’t speak to the – to the details of this. We’ve been engaged from virtually the first day of this. I don’t want to be clear when it was clear that Hamas had taken men, women, young children, elderly people hostage, including Americans. It was really gratifying. Yesterday, I got a chance to speak to the two Americans, the mother, daughter, Judith and Natalie Raanan, who were released. I spoke to them. We are very appreciative of the assistance that we got from the Government of Qatar, to make sure that they could get out and now soon be reunited with their families. We’re hopeful that- that others follow. It is imperative that every single hostage, every single hostage of whatever nationality, be released immediately and without condition.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But the Israeli invasion appears imminent. Have you asked the Israeli government to delay in order to give you more time to broker the release of these hostages?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: First, step back for a second, because it’s important to remember what happened. It’s incredible how quickly that gets lost because it was only a couple of weeks ago that Hamas invaded Israel with its terrorist fighters and slaughtered – and I use that- that word very deliberately- slaughtered so many people again, men, women, young children, babies, old people, you name it. And they continue to rain rockets down on Israel when I was there. A few days ago, we were in the bomb – we were- we had to take shelter a couple of times, because of incoming rockets from Hamas. So, my point is this, no country- no country can be expected to tolerate this, to live with this. And as we said, from the start, Israel has both the the right and even the obligation, not only to defend itself, but to try to make sure that, to the best of its ability, this can’t happen again. So, we talked to the Israelis about what they’re- what they’re planning. We give them our best advice. It’s important, as we said, not only what they do, but how they do it, particularly when it comes to making sure that civilians are as protected as they possibly can be in this crossfire of Hamas’ making. We want to make sure that humanitarian assistance gets in and both countries care deeply about the- the hostages. There are many, many Israelis who are hostage and of course, hostages from other nationalities. So we’re working to do everything we can, using whatever levers, partnerships, relationships, we have to get them out. Israel is doing the same. But in terms of what we’re talking to Israel about in their- with regard to their military operations, it really is focused on both how they do it, and how best to achieve the results that they seek.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, let’s talk about how they do it. You’re right to lay out just how absolutely horrific that attack was two weeks ago. Turning the page to what has happened during the following two weeks, UNICEF says 1,524 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip during these bombings. Why isn’t the US calling for at least a temporary ceasefire?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: First, Margaret, when I hear the stories, when I see the pictures of young children, who have lost their lives in this conflict of Hamas’ making- whoever they are, wherever they are, whether they’re Palestinians, whether they’re Israelis, whether they’re- they’re Jews or Muslims. It hits me, and I know it hits virtually everyone right in the heart. And that’s why it’s so important to do everything possible to protect them, and why it’s so important to do everything possible to get assistance to those who need it. Food, medicine, water-
MARGARET BRENNAN: So why not ask for at least a temporary pause in the bombing–
SECRETARY BLINKEN:
We’ve seen-
MARGARET BRENNAN: — as was proposed at the UN this week?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: We’ve seen first of all that, in order to get assistance in. We’ve had, we’ve had that happen. And you saw the first 20 trucks go in yesterday, I expect more will follow today and the day after that. We want to make sure that we have sustained delivery of food, medicine, water, the things that people need. At the same time, I said something a minute ago that- that we have to- we have to remember. Israel has to do everything it can to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Freezing things in place where they are now would allow Hamas to remain where it is and to repeat what it’s done sometime in the future. No country could accept that.
MARGARET BRENNAN: One of my colleagues, who is on the ground in Israel and has traveled to the West Bank conducted an interview with Mr. Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian politician, I’m sure, you know. He said he doesn’t understand why President Biden, when he was in Israel, did not say “enough is enough. You wanted to respond and you responded, you killed 4,000 Palestinians. Stop.” Instead, you’re encouraging a ground invasion. How do you respond to “enough is enough?”
SECRETARY BLINKEN: “Enough is enough” should have been the case with- with Hamas two weeks ago. It would be good to hear the entire world speaking clearly, and with one voice, about the actions that Hamas took, about the slaughter of people, about the fact that that should be absolutely intolerable, unacceptable to anyone, anywhere, any country, any people. Second, as I said, for- for a country to not only not respond- it’s not about responding. It’s not about retaliating. It’s about defending Israel from these ongoing attacks. As I said, the rockets continue to this day. And it’s about taking the steps necessary to try to make sure, to the best of Israel’s ability, that this can’t happen again. Now, as we said, very clearly, the President’s been very clear about this- how Israel does that matters. Making sure that to the greatest extent possible civilians are protected. Civilians are deliberately put in the crossfire by Hamas. Hamas undertook the slaughter. It knew Israel would have to respond and yet all of its people, its senior leaders, its weapons, its tunnels, all are co-located in residential buildings. They’re buried underneath hospitals and schools. It knew that in Israel’s necessary response, civilians would be caught in that crossfire. It’s the last thing we want to see. It’s imperative that every step be taken to protect them. But what does anyone expect Israel to do? It can’t allow the situation to continue. No country can live like that. So that’s what’s- I think, in the minds of Israelis right now. Again, we’re speaking to them, as I said, about how they do it, and also how they can best achieve the results that they seek.
MARGARET BRENNAN: In terms of US interests in the region, one of America’s closest allies, the King of Jordan, gave an impassioned speech saying “Palestinian lives seem to matter less than Israeli ones. Our lives matter less than other lives, the application of international law is optional and human rights appear to have boundaries based on races and religions.” That’s a warning from one of America’s closest friends in the region, that this is a dangerous message to be sending and it could have blowback. Are you concerned?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Margaret, every life- Palestinian, Israeli, Jewish, Muslim, Arab, every life has equal worth. When I see the reports, when I see the photographs, when I hear the stories of young children, Palestinian children, who’ve been killed or injured, it hits me right in the gut too. Just as it does, when I hear- when I see these other stories, wherever it is. We had, here in our own country, a little boy, six-years-old, Wadea, in Chicago, who was viciously murdered, apparently, because he was Palestinian American. A little boy, six-years-old, didn’t do anything to anyone. I feel that strongly across the board, no matter where it is. But this is on Hamas. And the fact is, Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people. It doesn’t represent their just cause, it doesn’t represent their aspiration, and legitimate aspiration for a state of their own. On the contrary, it does everything to make life worse, and more miserable for–
MARGARET BRENNAN: Does the US assess that it is actually possible for Israel to destroy both Hamas as an entity and its ideology. Is it actually a military possibility?
SECRETARY BLINKEN: So, you make a very good point, Margaret. And I think it’s important to focus on that, too. There’s the military aspect of what Israel needs to do and try it- and try to make sure this doesn’t happen again. But you’re exactly right. The best way, the only way to defeat an ideology, no matter how warped, and the case of Hamas, it’s about as warped as it possibly can be, is to make sure that there is a better, a clearer alternative for people. And that alternative is very clear. And it’s very stark. We have on the one hand, countries throughout the region who want to come together, to integrate, to normalize relations, and to lift up the rights of the Palestinian people, to be able to have a future where they work together, go to school together, do business together, travel to each other’s countries. That’s one vision. The other vision is the vision that Hamas has: death, destruction, nihilism, darkness. Now, the responsibility that those of us who believe in the first vision have is to do everything possible to make it real, so that people not only see it, but they can achieve it. That’s exactly what we were working on before this horrific attack on October 7th. And that’s the vision that we need to get back to. But at the same time, we also have to deal with the fact that Hamas represents an active, ongoing threat, and that has to be dealt with too.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Mr. Secretary, thank you for your time this morning.
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Thanks, Margaret.
More Obamanism. Eff all of everyone and everything associated with the lying lightbringer.
And the horses they rode in on!
Leave the poor horses alone!
Leave the poor horse out of it. We need him to help plow a field or two. Just saying.
Blinken is a disgrace. He’s perfect for his job.
Don’t forget incompetent as well.
After his 51 Intelligence Officers LIE and election interference, I’ll never believe a word out of his nasty mouth.
It’s hard using my big girl words when speaking out this guy and that stupid woman.
Don’t be shy.
No one here that is regular will hold it against you.
Blinky is a pathetic eunuch. A good question to Blinky would be why all of the US assets are there in the 1st place? They wouldn’t need protected if they weren’t there at all
This Maha Dakhil business is something to watch. Things are moving fast.
https://deadline.com/2023/10/caa-maha-dakhil-1235579415/
I am impressed with cleanliness of Maha Dakhil’s personal presence on the internet. There is no Wikipedia page, not any information on her background. “Dakhil” is a surname that links back to Iran or Iraq.
Larry: I won’t make any firm decisions on this matter until Tom Cruise jumps up and down on Oprah’s couch.
I see she represents Cruise.
I’m wondering if CAA has any Jewish clients?

What the heck is a CAA agent and why are we supposed to care? I know I don’t care.
This ridiculous social media crap is exactly that: Crap. Apparently every wokester wants his/her 15 minutes of fame.
Clowns. They do not realize that their 15 minutes of fame is but a nanosecond / millisecond or even less in people’s real lives.

Idiot
Which one? Her or Him?
”UNICEF says 1,524 Children have been killed by the bombings” And just who did UNICEF get those numbers from? The same folks that said 500 died in a hospital bombing?

I won’t be trick or treating for UNICEF … and I certainly won’t be filling anyone’s UNICEF pillow case with a check.
Retired Magistrate here: Blinken has the same eyes as Biden; not good.
Glad someone is starting to notice.
YEP … Creepy black. I find myself thinking, “What’s inside there?”
Legion (aka – many, many demons).
Lol, on this site, no clarification was necessary:) That first word alone said it all.
Evil.
Evil eyes. Dead eyes. Lying eyes.
Fun facts: Antony Blinken and Robert Malley attended the exclusive bilingual Paris ‘Ecole Jeannine Manual school and both graduated in 1980. They are both Obama alumnae, and are both pro- Iranian. They are both Jewish, from left wing Jewish families.
Blinken successfully got 51 former intelligence officers to falsely sign a claim that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian Disinformation.
Robert Malley, envoy to Iran, using his International Crisis Group hired 3 people connected to Iran. There are emails confirming contacts with Iranian officials. Malley’s security clearance was suspended in June 2023. He is under investigation for mishandling classified information.
On October 6, 2023 Hamas, funded by Iran and the UN slaughtered 1,300 Israeli citizens. U.S. intelligence agencies say they were taken by surprise.
Well, one thing we know for absolute certain sure is that the US Intelligence agencies and the US State Dept make a career of lying. As you note, fifty intelligence execs publicly and brazenly lied to swing the election on Blinkens’ request. What won’t they lie about?
Which means that the US Intel people are likely lying about the “surprise” (especially since Israel has now somehow recovered enough Intel moxie to very clearly record the word by word conversations of individual rocket launching crews) which would mean of course that Israel knew about the attack, allowed it to happen to set up an excuse to clear out Gaza, claim the land, more intensely bomb Syria and manipulate the US into doing their dirty work in Iran.
Given the possibility of this scenario and the fact that Netanyahu and his crew are one-stater bomb throwers who support Hamas, more than a little likely. Watch their feet.
There is a bunch of them. Did you see Pushaw’s eyes, or the eyes of the daughter of Prince Andrew on another site?
POSSESSION.
Whatever happened too Biden’s BLUE eyes, I will never know…
They were blue the other day.
The Rx they give him dilates his pupils so all we see is those black pupils.
Actor in a mask?
For $1000, Alex.
Blinken is DS through and through. He worked for the Obama regime and is still working for the regime.
Blinken is Jewish. In the recent past, on a post here, I asked what is it about Jews… I forget my exact question, but the response was crystal clear: They are Liberals First, Jews 2nd. I wish I could remember the poster who responded that to me. He/she is totally correct. It is now clear to me, sadly. Whoever you are, thanks for that response.
BTW, I am not Jewish. Nor am I Arabic, Palestinian, Muslim,. etc. Just want to eliminate any misconstrued thought.
Upper West Side, NYC Jews. Chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.
It’s the methamphetamine.
Garland & Mayorkas has those huge, dilated pupils too… making their eyes appear black.
Dead eyes. Windows to our souls. Or lack thereof
Demonically inhabited?
His forehead and cheeks never move.
same as vicky nuland……
Blinken always looks so… constipated.
Well, it’s hard to look natural when everything you say is a lie.
Yes, similar to Jake Tapper.
More likely he walks around with a cilice on his nutsack
v*cky nula*d (cookie monster )too…
The voice the affect the facial expressions.
Winken blinken and nod.
The guy is a children’s story.
Naturally Obama will use this to force down a two state solution down Israel’s throats.
If they let the arabs stay in the west bank and gaza then they need to have the same situation as post WWII Japan and Germany where we controlled their press and media to de-Nazify Germany and democratize Japan, it worked well. If they continue to allow the lies about occupation to be told, the lies about the history of the Jewish people, the lies about the farthest mosque, and for good measure, remove the dome of the rock and convert it back into a temple.
The Jews should insist on the borders that the British were supposed to give them, not anything close to the 1967 lines.
The current situation is what the British want, it is their usual divide and conquer MOD.
The Jews got Israel in what? 1948 or so? Bottom line: This is the homeland of the Jews. I agree they need to and must fight back against any outsider who threatens their homeland.
BTW, The USA needs to also fight back back against the illegal aliens who are infiltrating the Country of We The People.
Weak
Biden has allowed nearly $100 billion to flow to Iran over the past 2.5 years, per Ted Cruz
Gateway Pundit
Now he lifted oil sanctions from Venezuela. Iran funds Venezuela by building refineries and are embarking on many joint oil production projects. They both cheer on and support Hamas. In essence, we have helped fund this entire mess.
The poor civilians of Gaza needing ‘humanitarian’ relief support Hamas.
oh what a tangled web we weave when first to practice to deceive. The Obama and Biden administration have outdone themselves on this one. Thank the Good Lord President Trump stopped them for a few years.
“The poor civilians of Gaza needing ‘humanitarian’ relief support Hamas.”
Puleeze. The Palestinians for the most part, elected the Hamas terrorists.
Get real. The Arabs living in Gaza an the West Bank are not peaceniks or humanitarians. They are ARABS. They hate Jews, some worse than others.
Are these Gazans looking for a way to live peacefully with the Jews? No, they are not. They have a mission and we all know what it is. So let us stop pussy-footing….
Also let us stop pussy-footing around the actual issues in Our Country. It is a disaster. The only way out is to evict the current regime.
Yeah, the Canadian who is an illegitimate Texas Senator.
Follow Huma.

Hang in there until minute 9 for the outline of the full set of connections.
Groomed since birth, just like Obama.
Our government is forcing Israel into an impossible corner with no good options.
I say, go ahead Israel – defend your border. There’s nothing good coming out of this U.S. Administration.
For the U.S. to position itself as advising Israel on how to preserve its sovereignity, OR defend itself, can you see just how ABSURD that is?
“You should do like WE do; tear down that wall, and start paying every Palestinian that enters across your open border.
As for National Defence, start a puppy brigade, and offer all transexuals free surguries for joining up,…oh and get to work right away, on flightcsuits for pregnant fighter pilots.
Exactly, dutchman. Born Free American Woman gets it right. The current USA Regime is all talk and worse; they babble nonsense trying to “save face” while they know they do NOT have a clue on how to act RESPONSIBLY.
This clown-show regime appears to be beholden to its masters, those to whom they owe tens of millions of dollars for the bribes etc.
This regime is an enemy/anathma of the USA and Our Constitution.
F Blinken, Brennan (John, too), the MB, Hamas, Qatar, Iran, WEF and the DS/iC of the US that has supported, supporting, directing and maybe orchestrated all this BS.
And the horses they rode into town on.
And may them, their families, and their progeny be cursed for and to time immemorial!
Agree BK, but also agree with comment above, don’t screw the horses, just let em run free, after hanging their owners, by their privates with piano wire nooses..
Ok.
Maybe the second paragraph was proverbial.
But I really meant the rest of it.
😂
As Victor Davis Hanson has eloquently pointed out, immutable events are in charge of the Brandon administration and all they can do is react.
The conciliatory path they have stupidly laid down is very hopefully about to result in a conclusive end for their plans for their Iranian allies and all of its proxies.
No! Didn’t you hear Blinken!? He said he was angry with Hamas because the Biden Admin. was working so hard on “equity” between Israel and Hamas … and to his 🫨SHOCK 😳 … Hamas turned out to be murderous terrorist thugs. He had such high hopes that their Trump-inverse policies were really gonna work!
War with Iran.
Hezbollah won’t stand down with a Gaza invasion.
Which leads to Iran.
2024 is just months away… DS needs war to “unify” the country before the election.
“Unify” means allowing stolen elections via emergency voter fraud efforts and branding any opposition a traitor to America.
Joe,
That MAY be their plan, doesn’t mean it is going to work out that way.
The ONLY thing that has worked out, since the escalator ride, was the Covid and Vax plan, and even that was short term gain, but long term bite in the ass loss.
I thought the fake pandemic was very successful.
Mail in voting among other voter fraud efforts worked… they openly stole a presidential election!
Plus the precedent set with the gulags filled with J6 Martyrs.
War, especially if there are dead American soldiers, will give the DS a bigger green light to steal our freedoms than the fake pandemic, but most importantly it will allow them to remain in power.
a bite in OUR ass to be sure.

He lost it all with, “Both countries” comment. Referring to Palestine as a country is a huge unforgivable mistake.
Nothing says “country of Palestine” like butchering women, children, and the elderly. Maybe kidnapping the wheelchair bound.
Then again, Iran….oops….Aryan occupiers of Persia do have experience with Mongols. Said Aryans now sit at the apogee of WH Intel.
Submit! I say again, “Islam.”
This is my content area. These people will die for the cause. Be warned. Read their books.
“Enough is enough.”
You’re darn right it is, and now it’s time to turn the Israelis loose and let them have their vengeance.
A pair of 1st class dunces. First hand Iran 6B, then hand hamas 100s of Ms in “aid.”
Then utter the phrase that Hamas is in control of the border & will not let Americans or any other civilians leave.
How about you start the air drops of 🐖🩸
Pigs blood, a good start as a hint of things to come.
You know, Dutch, I have thought about that for a long time as a former Psyop soldier and general mean SOB when confronted with evil.
Personally, I think every time ‘we’ or any ally kills one of these terrorist mf’ers, we should douse them with pigs blood, throw a pigs head on the corpse, take images of it and post everywhere and send copies to their families.
F respecting their dead!
That scares the hell out of them so bad, that I will guarantee that will stop the overwhelming majority of their BS!!!!!
And I have NO DOUBTS about that and could care less what anyone thinks about it.
What a disgusting comment and strange for a “Christian” website and a supposed “Christian.”
This is a MAGA site open to all denominations (nice try, NOT) and as I stated, I could care less what you or anyone thinks about it.
You fight savage animals the way they will understand you mean business.
As Sundance has recently stated, the time for delicate sensibilities is OVER.
And I’m not a ‘supposed’ Christian. Never have been and will never be.
I am Christian! And it’s not for you or anyone else to decide or judge on that. NEVER! Only One can.
And what do you think those Christian warriors did when freeing Europe a few centuries ago? That’s right and you obviously don’t have a clue.
And yet below, you are discussing money bargains on life and death issues that affect Americans.
Hypocrisy much?
Seems to me someone threw the money changers out of the temple, pretty violently as I recall.
And later called them all sons of ‘their’ father, the devil, and told his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword with the proceeds.
Any more questions????
It worked for Black Jack Pershing in the Phillipines.
Just sayin’
Tried and true method, except the pictures part.
If the IDF used some bacon grease on there bullets and posted video of it being done so the muzzies could see it, I bet they wouldn’t be so quick to join the fight.
That’s a bargain compared to the $100 BILLION of US heard-earned tax dollars to ISR/Ukraine ($60 Billion to Ukraine curiously) as well. Put it together with the numbers you mentioned (although it’s been said the $6B for IR is from the freezing of funds, not US tax dollars). If we are going to talk about foreign aid, we should talk about all FOREIGN aid in the interest of balance and having an honest debate and discussion surrounding it, especially when American citizens are having a difficult time feeding their families and paying for soaring inflation.
These people are insufferable…
MARGARET BRENNAN: Does the US assess that it is actually possible for Israel to destroy both Hamas as an entity and its ideology. Is it actually a military possibility?
NO Margaret! Their ideology comes from their holy book! What an idiot. Do these people really think no one knows what Islam stands for?
Well, Margaret’s husband being a Muslim might taint her opinion a little.
I just looked up Blinken on Wikipedia and it states that he is Jewish. Therefore, how could he POSSIBLY do this against Israel and the Jewish people (not that I can actually imagine ANYBODY doing this)??? By the way, his first name is spelled “Antony.”
Look up Biden on Wilipedia and you will likely find it states he is Catholic, so how could he be for abortion up to the ninth month, tenth month if a woman is running late, yet he is..
Blinken is also “supposed” to be an American. How could he possibly do all he has done against America, I ask myself???
answer….came from a single mother household.
There is not 100% alignment between Israel as a concept and the people living there, and American / European genetic Jews.
There is also Jewish disconnect between the Torah, the Talmud and atheistic people groupings.
He’s the typical self hating hebrew whose Leftism has replaced his original faith.
i assume you are aware that american jews vote 70-30 donk? i had a jewish guy as a good friend in high school and beyond. he taught me how to play chess. he ended up a big time producer on broadway. mother was an attorney and father owned three cleaners. these people were very smart and didn’t suffer fools lightly. he told me his parents taught him to always vote the opposite of catholics. i asked him once why both his parents liked me (a non jew). his reply: “because you’re a ladder day saint”.
His step-father was Robert Maxwell’s lawyer.
Raised in the cult.
And I don’t mean the Reformed Synagogue down the street.
I mean the Epstein kind, with the Turkish Bath temple and the tunnels underneath one.
Another planned- proxy war, Blinken?
I don’t think this administration is on Israel’s side, but I have to say that Blinken’s words sure make it sound like he is:
“The best way, the only way to defeat an ideology, no matter how warped, and the case of Hamas, it’s about as warped as it possibly can be, is to make sure that there is a better, a clearer alternative for people. And that alternative is very clear. And it’s very stark. . . And the fact is, Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people. It doesn’t represent their just cause, it doesn’t represent their aspiration, and legitimate aspiration for a state of their own. On the contrary, it does everything to make life worse, and more miserable . . . “
Is he breaking with Obiden favoring Iran? Or is he just dissembling? Yes, he does mention “a state of their own,” but not run by Hamas, and it sounds like he supports Bibi’s goal of wiping out Hamas. But of course watch their deeds, not their words.
Puppet Blinken is on his own side. That first sentence is just rich…about defeating an ideology. Meanwhile, here at home, the American public clearly see the alternative to THEIR ideology – President Donald J. Trump – whom THEY are trying to imprison and remove from the 2024 ballet. Also very stark; That this administration does not represent the American people, Israelis, or hamas. They are blinded in the pursuit of Greed and Profit.
And to think some think that giving blasting caps and a hammer to a 2 year old is dangerous.
Sherman’s March to the Sea persuaded Robert E Lee that the Confederacy’s days were hopelessly numbered; all Winken, Blinken, and Pudding Brain hope to do is buy enough time for Hamas to be able to regroup in some way and be able to fight another day. Level everything you have to and then keep going until they scream that they surrender.
Israel has to stay the course and make Hamas a bad memory in the Arab world–you don’t negotiate with someone aiming a rifle at your head, you shoot first and accurately.
Except the analogy falls apart when you compare how the surviving southerners became more american than the rest of the US, but any surviving Islamics will never identify or unite with a Jewish group, whether Torah’s, Talmudics, or atheists.
also the first indication the country’s federal power was getting to centralized.
that’s because islam is a disease of the mind where as the civil war was cultural.
Sherman was a war criminal who will be despised in the South for as long as human memory persists.
Careful what wars you prosecute and how you prosecute them.
The Donalds of Scotland are still commemorating the Glencoe massacre, every February, nearly 250 years later. Such hatred does not die. It is a coal, smoldering under the surface.
Nor has the South forgotten Sherman.
Another laughable non-historical post. Sherman a war criminal? Whether he is despised in the South or not is the South’s own making and he did what was necessary from his commanding officer Ulysses S. Grant and commander in chief Abraham Lincoln. Are they war criminals?
Here is a bit of history. When Longstreet begged Lee not to attack on the 3rd day of Gettysburg and he did it anyway? So, was that criminal or just stupidity or hubris? Take your pick. What Sherman did was not My Lai and William Calley. The South were all combatants in the war and armed to defeat the North.
Nice try…….
The more they compress the Palestinians into a smaller and smaller ghetto, the more dire the final outcome will be, in terms of heating the population to Jihad vs genocide of the Palestinians. No country wants the Palestinians or the Israelis en masse.
Brennan has assisted the Enemy narrative on multiple occasions. Once again she is dog walking the whole conversation. And I do not attribute any her ‘reporting’ as neutral. Same as Amanpour, another blatant ‘world traveler’ journalist, and shill for the NWO. All deserving of consequences for treason against America. Blinken has that cold, dead, dark eyed stare of a Cluster B personality. The O’Biden Administration has never played hard ball with any of these evil factions, ever.
Blinken. Yeah. That oughtta work.
“Margaret, we are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies, escalating their attacks against our own personnel, our own people. ”
I am sick of hearing the word “proxy” and “proxies.” These “cue words” are manufactured by the Globalists to diminish exactly what is happening. I am sick of it.
I agree that the war we are funding in Ukraine is indeed a PROXY war against Russia, but it is even more than that (It was NOT our business to interfere in Russia/Ukraine politics. Ukraine had not been paying for the utilities in Crimea and the Donetsk region for years. Russia got tired of it. Most of the people living in those areas were/are Russian, and are happy to be Russian. Ukraine however, ruled over them, and the Russians there didn’t like it.
Bottom line, this is a territorial dispute between Russia and Ukraine and the USA had no business butting in.
Except for the fact that the Bidens and his Regime “owe” Ukraine for its “work” which enriched the Bidens and many others of his regime.

So now we have Winken, BLINKEN and Nod. You know who Nod is, right? Winken pretty much fits Kamala, but the floor is open to suggestions.
The A Team is ON it!
I like the thread of comments here. You guys seem on the ball. Remember too that Ukraine is Magog and Persia is the Islamic Republic of Iran. Read the Book of Ezekiel, Chapters 38 and 39. The nations and hordes behind Magog, behind Ukraine are ultimately destroyed with it in the mountains north of Israel.
Persia, Iran effectively controls the territories of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and are massed at the eastern side of the Golan Heights. All we need is the trigger to begin the hostilities that result in the destruction of the entire western countries of the former Imperial Roman Empire. Ancient Pax Romana is Pax Americana today.
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” ~ Revelation 13.3
“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” ~ Daniel 7.8
Three of the ten horns of the 4th Beast are “humbled”. The EU, UK, US? Anyone see this happening?
The anti-christ’s most prominent name is The Assyrian. historical Gog and Magog are located in the “far north”, in Turkey. Ukraine and Russia for that matter are not direct combatants against end times Israel. They are not named among the warring nations directly bordering Israel.
Besides there will be no fighting age males left in Ukraine once Russia is finished. It will take decades to replenish the male population of Ukraine, if it even happens at all.
Pax Romana was 200 years of Roman peace. We have not even come close to achieving that in our little history. Let me say again, 200 years. We’ve only been around for 248 years.
Iran’s diabolical plan and its failure
Iran planned to throw Israel off balance through a surprising two-front combined strike by Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south.
Thank God this plan was foiled.
IT FAILED FOR THREE MAIN REASONS:
1. Hamas acted alone and Hezbollah refrained from implementing the plan to occupy the Galilee, which allowed the IDF to clear the south, mobilize large forces and reorganize them in defense in the north so that another situational surprise from the north is no longer possible and in fact Radwan’s forces have no relative advantage against a strong defense.
2. The Hamas men encountered stubborn resistance from the line fighters, the civilians and the standby troops, the police and the fighters of the intervention units who stopped them and then cleared the south of their presence.
3. Low performance level of Hamas compared to Iranian expectations and investment.
This now leaves Iran very exposed. Iran, which has many problems in its backyard and whose government is not stable or assured, fears this very much.
Her satanic plan was based on Israel’s reluctance and fear of confronting her and the psychological effect of her actions (similar to a small and ugly spider that leaps forward into a person’s face and causes him to panic and let go of him despite the asymmetrical power relations).
https://www.newsrael.com/posts/k8v7cscs3ps
But the Hamas actions really don’t look like an invasion that was meant to take over territory or drive Israel out. Hamas does not have tanks or a top level anti-aircraft defense or missile offense.
This just looks more like a more intense version of terror that they do from time to time.
It actually seems to have achieved what they wanted.
This pile of human garbage would be defending Hamas or any other terrorist group if they were on American soil doing what they did to Israel.
She was elevated to her position because she is an elitist hater. It is a religion to her and others. They are never concerned about what happens when their wish comes true.
On one hand documented speeches by our enemies indicate they will never stop until they destroy us. The Chinese with the help of Odumbo setup shop in our higher education. Now under Odumbo Lite the borders are open for the young warriors to freely come in. The Chinese fly balloons over us and our Government ignores it until a man in Montana reports it. Not the first time it happen but the Media and Government “Trump allowed it”. Americans say “Yup”. The Chinese purchase land by our military bases. Governors say good for economy. Americans say “Yup”. Hundreds of young Chinese men coming up through the jungles to enter through our open border. Americans say “Maga is racist”. 40 percent of surveyed Americans say they are doing the same or better under Bidenomics. An lastly, the biggest threat is “Climate Change”.
Shxt will only get worse when one accepts the fact you are surrounded by flaming morons.
The blinken guy and brennan the cbs broad, trying very hard to sound like they know what they’re talking about.
So why did we just give them/free up billions of dollars? Another impeachable offense.
impeachments are only for trump now. you’re not up to speed.
Is this because the 7 nations in 5 year plan was stopped by Russia in Syria?
When the king of Jordan was mentioned…Blinky should have pointed out that the “king” refuses to take in Palestinians bc he knows they are as violent & disruptive as Hamas.
Also mentioned was that hostages may be held by “different” terrorists groups. Another missed chance for Blinky to point out they’re all cut from the same cloth & funded by Soros, pedo joe & Iran.
Stupid American Lefty white women, their beta male partners, the black community & lgbqSTUPID+ will love living under Sharia law…so they think. Bunch of dumb f***s.
Palestinians tried to overthrow or assassinate his father when he was a child, so I’m sure that there is no amount of persuasion the obongo surrogates in DC can apply to that monarchy.
CBS 60 Minutes has 5 Eyes on right now. What the Hell is going on here?
Now, Margaret Brennan is “on special assignment”, interviewing one of the $6 Billion dollar hostages of Iran. 97-010. Amad Sharghi?
Not to mention that Margaret Brennan’s husband is a bit sketchy as well.

The babies, the poor children, the children…Margaret, we weep so hard. Here’s a video of us weeping at the White House.
You can hear the wailing for miles.
But the hundreds of thousands of babies & children being trafficked across the border, thrown into the back of vans
and off to a very short, brutal life of sexual slavery, well, that suits ole Tony to a T, it does.
She also supports the millions murdered via abortion, as do a majority of the left.
I can’t help but think the USA is being led into battle by the worst commander in chief in the history of mankind. The only one’s worst were probably the Roman generals at the Battle of Cannae .
Seriously, do you think FJB ever read the Art of War? We , the USA are breaking every rule outlined in that famous book.
Former Naval Intel officer:
(19) J.E. Dyer ☘️ on X: “So for Biden & Co, #Israel “defending itself” means what it always meant for Obama: literally ONLY acting in reactive defense against attacks being mounted. No proactive measures to establish a more reliably secure environment. Sorry; wrong answer. Please hang up and try again.” / X (twitter.com)
Any questions on their actual objectives.

Nazis infest the legacy media.
Who is worse: Margaret Brennan or Antony Blinken?????
IMO, neither of them have any shame nor any ethics. They are both on the same team. Ergo, useless conversation, although they played their roles fairly well (for the LSM watchers).
I can’t recall a situation like this where a President is “elected” and then immediately begins dismantling all of the successful policies of the past President and that includes Reagan/Carter but that is the opposite scenario. Reagan corrected the mess Carter had made.
An occasional pundit mentions how damaging eliminating P Trump’s policies have been to the world. (CTH is an exception and exposes the reality as it happens) But the corrupt MSM is still propping up the Biden handlers even as the chances of an expanded war or WWIII increase almost daily and the corrupt DA’s and judges persecute PT.
From the open border to the stupidity of reducing oil production in the U.S. and eliminating the sanctions against oil producing Iran so they can fund proxy wars; all of the Handlers policies have been dangerous and reckless.
The corrupt media and all the corrupt Dems and RINO’s will be responsible for whatever happens during this cycle of war and self destruction. So will DeSantis et al who aided the persecution of Trump by remaining silent or by releasing tepid or supportive statements on the persecution.
This is not about defeating an ideology. This is about defeating and destroying a genocidal society. It is absolutely untrue to say that Hamas doesn’t speak for the Palestinians. The Palestinians VOTED HAMAS IN PLACE. It is true that Hamas is horrible to the Palestinians. But these people have been brought up all their lives to blame Israel for all the misfortunes of their lives. By the time they are young men and women they are GLAD TO KILL ALL THE JEWS THEY CAN. ALL OF THE PALESTINIANS.
So it’s time to stop lying to Americans and the world. It’s not like there are peaceful Palestinians and just a few bad apples in leadership. We are talking about people whose whole objective in life is to destroy Israel and destroy the Jews.
That goes for ALL THE CITIZENS OF GAZE AND THE WEST BANK.
Stop lying and tell the truth.
Giving them aid is supplying genocidal people with the ability to commit genocide.
you’re last sentence fully explains what is purposefully going on today.
It has been 17 years since they were allowed to vote.
Facts matter.
No one disputes Israel created Hamas. Allegedly they now regret making the monster.
Uh huh.
Is Israel to Hamas as the FBI is to the Patriot Front? Have those who really run Israel been running 5th Gen psy ops on Gaza to gin up violence?
Possibly. Very possibly.
Wheels within wheels.
Zzzzz….
Barack Obama must be hugely pleased with himself. His fingerprints are all over this, starting with the $6 billion gift.
imagine 10% for the big guy of THAT check.
‘terms of what we’re doing by provocation, it’s designed to deter, designed to make clear that no one should use this moment in any way to escalate.’
Provocation?
It’s an ambush. The Stupids are walking/ sailing the U.S.
Right into it. Speaking of stupids- why aren’t the Republicans demanding Joey Trips Alot present himself to Congress and demand he explain why Americans are going to war? Oh…never mind.
Why have Republicans not demanded a Declaraton of War, as required by the U.S. Constitution, since WW2?
