Blinken understands US protesters’ ‘passion’, questions silence on Hamas

Asked about the unfolding pro-Palestine protest movement at US universities, the US secretary of state has said he “very much understands” the students’ frustration and respects their right to demonstrate as a “hallmark of our democracy”.

“People have strong, passionate feelings about what’s happening in Gaza and the Middle East that I very much understand,” Antony Blinken said at a news conference in China’s Beijing, as students at dozens of universities across the US continue their campus protests despite suspensions and arrests.

However, Blinken added “It is notable that there is silence about Hamas”, which he said should immediately surrender to end the war.

“As I’ve said before … this could be over tomorrow, it could have been over yesterday, it could have been over months ago, if Hamas had put down its weapons, stopped hiding behind civilians, released the hostages and surrendered,” said Blinken. “But of course it has chosen not to do that.”

Blinken said the US, Israel’s main ally which just approved an additional $17bn in military aid to Israel despite the heavy civilian toll in Gaza, is “working every day to try to minimise the damage done to people”.

Palestinian fisherman killed off Rafah’s coast

Israeli forces have fired at fishermen working off the coast of Rafah, killing at least one person and injuring another, according to a report from our colleagues on the ground.

Israel maintains strict control of Gaza’s territorial waters, and fishers trying to earn a living in the sea are often harassed, intimidated and even shot at by Israel’s navy.

The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.
israel will go the way of rhodesia because:

a) its security relies on perceived military superiority over its neighbours
b) 7 october made it look weak, so it needs to restore deterrence
c) "destroying hamas" isn't enough to restore deterrence, so it needs to expand the war
d) it couldn't win an expanded war, so it needs the support of the united states and friends
e) the united states can't sustain the kind of defence it provided during iran's recent attack, desperately wants out of the middle east, and probably isn't capable of defeating the axis of resistance anyway
f) in the meantime, the genocide is making israel increasingly isolated

Israel not interested in international probe of Gaza mass graves, former HRW chief says

Israel’s blocking of investigators entering the Gaza Strip is hampering an independent probe into recently discovered mass graves, Kenneth Roth has told Al Jazeera.

Roth, a visiting professor at Princeton University and former executive director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), said it was possible to carry out an investigation of mass graves even in the middle of a war.

“This would require simply cooperation by both sides, but Israel doesn’t want to allow these kinds of independent investigations,” Roth said.

“It just wants to sweep the issue under the rug or it will say we’re going to investigate ourselves,” he said, adding that such a process usually ends up with nobody held accountable by Israeli authorities.

The UN and the EU have been calling for an independent probe following the discovery of 392 bodies, including some with their hands tied, stripped of their clothes, and shot in the head.

The US has also called for an investigation, but it is not demanding that the probe be independent, Roth noted.

I mean the same is true of the IDF. They could end the war and return the hostages by surrendering.

It's always striking how casually Zionists mention horrifying war crimes like summary executions of restrained prisoners as if it were completely normal.

the lesson the IDF is gonna learn from this is to undo the hand ties after executing palestinians

Except of course Hamas cannot end the war occupation because releasing the hostages would not end the war occupation.

Only Israel - and by extension the US - can end the war occupation, and so only they bare responsibility.

a friend of mine just got engaged and his soon to be father in law texted him congratulations followed by a massive spiel about how disgusting it was that my friend was turning against israel. he actually used the phrase “made the desert bloom.”

a lot of liberal boomer Jews have reflexively supported israel for decades and as the horrific news and images come out of Gaza they have to make a choice. some, like my mom, recoil in horror and start to question whether israel should even exist at all. others double down and dive deeper into the echo chamber.

When your country has made Masada integral to national self-image (it was not considered important at the time, and really, not until 1948) you would think saying things like this would cause you to bleed from your ears.

They don't even have to acknowledge that because Hamas has already won.

"Why don't they just lay down and die" is all Blinken/etc. can say because all they know how to do is beat the same drum about going back to the status quo. More and more are seeing this "It is what it is" outlook as not good enough.

So of course, but they're still trying to make it seem like history began on October 7th. And that kind of mindset will still work on a lot of people who will be happy to eat up that the US and its vassals are always the definitive good guys all the time.


But not enough anymore, because the IDF and the kind of people that settle in Israel are so deranged and enthusiastic about genocide and inflicting suffering on Palestinians that even for people who didn't know anything about this at all til October 7th, it's pretty clear that this isn't a "war".


There is no way to go back to the status quo after people seeing so many months of Biden saying he's deeply concerned while handing Israel billions, the IDF and Israeli state propaganda isn't catching on and immediately shutting down conversation like it used to. Things like Blinken sitting on evidence of systemic rape in the IDF, the multiple mass graves...

These have been going on for years, but even for people who never knew Palestine was a thing until October 7th, I feel like today more people have an understanding of something being a systemic problem and not an individual problem.

Even without any of these sanctions actually happening, it eats at people because they realize no organization does poo poo like this just once, and Biden has made it extremely obvious that this is 100% made possible for years by the USA. That seed got planted in a lot of people's heads over the past few months.

Even on a more selfish level, people in the US, even if not consciously threading the needle, are seeing how, hey, grocery prices just about doubled over the past couple of years, I can barely make rent, meanwhile we send $20 billion to Israel every two months so they can keep blowing up civilians.


It's incredibly painful because of how long this is going to take from now, and people starting to realize Israel is bad doesn't stop the bombings, or immediately save lives. But seeing any change like this at all is heartening.

Israel isn't helping because they're not saying they want a return to the status quo. They're saying that because of October 7, Gaza needs to be erased from the map, more or less. It can never be allowed to pose a threat to Israel again, or the flow of construction material and humanitarian aid into Gaza allowed this so can't happen again, or the lack of an Israeli presence within Gaza was how this went unnoticed etc.
