CAIR Calls for Resignation of Secretary of State Blinken After Report He Lied to Congress About Israel Blocking Aid to Gaza
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called for the resignation of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken after he reportedly lied to Congress after two government authorities concluded that Israel deliberately blocked deliveries of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
According to ProPublica: “The U.S. Agency for International Development delivered its assessment to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the State Department’s refugees bureau made its stance known to top diplomats in late April. Their conclusion was explosive because U.S. law requires the government to cut off weapons shipments to countries that prevent the delivery of U.S.-backed humanitarian aid. Israel has been largely dependent on American bombs and other weapons in Gaza since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks.
This is so fucking disgusting. It's literally the Gazan Holocaust and we're the fucking Nazis this time.
I keep wondering if the US will have to go in to protect Palestine. Unlikely because brown people.
"Group that would be expected to make a statement makes expected statement toward man who will absolutely not give two shits as he's only going to be around for 4 more months anyways"
This isn't news.
I assume you think the same thing when the ACLU, EFF, NAACP, or other rights organizations make statements? News organizations and Lemmy should just memory hole all their statements because they're "expected" and somehow you think the only opinion a statement could impact is the targets of their ire?

It's a pretty big leap from "may have" to "possibly" to "definitely did". I don't think you'll get much traction on this. If he planned to lie or sidestep the issue in official communications to Congress, then yeah, he should resign or be removed. I think you need proof though.
There is proof tho...
Multiple agencies made reports with facts and proper documentation...
Blinken ignored those and just repeated IDF propaganda that went against all evidence.
