Fuck Blinken. His idea of negotiation is capitulating to Israel on every issue, following their Hasbara line on every talking point, and them blaming other countries for not capitulating to Israel's every whim so they can wait a bit before continuing the genocide again.

MODERATORS
Blinken lied repeatedly on camera, a while back, about these negotiations. Honestly don’t know why he still goes there? What does he do? Does he have a favorite restaurant and a sit down. Play cards?
Probably raking in the frequent flyer miles for when he leaves.
Who would have thought putting security advisors into sec state role would go poorly?
But seriously why did we put someone without a diplomatic background in as Secretary of State?
To be fair, I heard that "Mad Dog" Mattis was surprisingly diplomatic in his role as the Secretary of Defense, so maybe someone thought the reverse would hold true, too? 😂
What pressure can he actually apply? USA government bends over backwards for bibi
He will apply pressure from his lips on Netanyahu's feet.
