  1. Is Blinken SOB is a member of Israeli war cabinet?

  2. USA supporting zionist and like to state 3rd world war, but if 3rd world war started, it bring the world to Middle Ages.

  3. It’s far too high because Hamas hides behind civilians

  4. Stop sending them weapons and aid! Palestinians don't need your sad face interviews

  5. Tell him to stay in Hamas. No more US Americans taxpayers money to all these terrorists countries.

  6. No more U.S. taxpayer money for weapons, salaries, humanitarian aid, nor reconstruction for foreigners fighting foreign wars in foreign countries. No re-instatement of U.S. draft. Remove unwanted U.S. military personnel from illegal U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria. No U.S. boots-on-the-ground for Isreal nor Isreal's theaters of proxy war against Iran for U.S.

  7. Apartheid isreal is rejecting Gen sec Blinken proposal for palestine state. Apartheid isreal leadership says God gave them the land😂😂😂

  8. – Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened.
    – Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order?
    – Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order?
    – Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?

  9. US has supported a sea of oppreession and tyr.anny on Palestinians over last 70 years and again in last 3 months. Palestinians are the bra.vest people on the earth.

  10. The #Zionazi contribution to humanity has been: Ethnic cleansing; colonization; Genocide; Infanticide; Fratricide; Domicide; Terrorism; Political assassination; Apartheid; Race supremacy; Ethnic ghettos; Concentration Camps; Torture; kidnapping of children; Blitzkieg of hospitals; Blitzkrieg of schools; Vandalism of World heritage sites; murder of journalists, murder of diplomats; enforced starvation, home demolitions, and I could go on, and on. The #USA is complicit in this genocide.

  11. This guy is a weasel of the worst kind

  12. Blinken and Biden/ Obama administration,highest incompetence

  13. bypassing congress to arm Israeli genocide still refusing to call for a ceasefire then saying that "we are pressing israel to avoid civilian casualties!! what does blinken think the world is? are we that brain-dead???!

  14. Repeating same things again & again.what is present condition of Israel & America is they do not want to admit their defeat

  15. We know your controlled by Netanyahu

  16. Blinken is a war criminal

  17. Mind Begs the Question:
    – If a Israel PM/Govt
    – Publicly promoted funding Hamas
    – To avoid 2 State Solution
    – Hamas is Israel Proxy,no?

  18. Liberals: The gazan death toll is too high
    A random person: So, should the gazan government, Hamas, stop using its people as human shields to maximize death, surrender, and release all hostages, and stop stealing foreign aid into their own bank account to live lavish lifestyles
    Liberals: LOL OMG NO

  19. Why doesn’t the US mind it’s own business and worry about itself? I love how blinken keeps saying “we’re trying to not escalate the situation” While the US continues to do airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. If you want to deescalate the situation you can first withdraw your troops from Syria and Iraq which you refuse to do.

  20. Pressure on Hamas will be the only thing that might tempt Hamas to release more hostages.
    Gaza Palestinians should be putting pressure on Hamas. Israel is putting pressure on Hamas. The UN…pathetic.
    If the hostages are even alive.

  21. Propaganda propaganda, propaganda propaganda, trying to keep the American people sleep, dumb and ignorant the Zionist controlled media

  22. Stop the propaganda release the 2 1/2 million Palestinians that are being held in an open air prison allowed the 5 1/2 million refugees camps to return and stop the Genocide of the Palestinian people Go back to your legal 1967 borders and stop occupying Palestine 🇵🇸❤️

  23. Haha you guys can believe that B.S. if you want but most of the nation who watched their meeting saw exactly what was said to him from the leadership. He was warned that the U.S. better keep their noses out of it and that they will not follow directives from the U.S.
    The News is just getting better and better at showing that they truly are shoving FAKE NEWS downt the throat of any sheep that will believe their lies. SMH

  24. Among the large numbers of anomalies in the Holocaust narrative is the established fact that Field Marshall Erhard Milch, Goering’s number-two commander in the Luftwaffe, was Jewish as were large numbers of high-ranking officers and 150,000 German troops:

    “Yet another strange element, thoroughly documented but rather difficult to square with the traditional Holocaust narrative is that large numbers of part-Jewish Germans served loyally in Hitler’s armies, with some of them holding very high military ranks:

  25. US is still erging israel to do the right think. Who rules the world? US or Israel?

  26. 8 Americans are hostages too!!!!

  27. May Love Peace Prevail in The World….

  28. He can’t even answer the last question

  29. According to the United Nations, the Golan Heights belong to Syria.According to the United Nations the West Bank is Palestinian territory. According to the United Nations, Gaza is Palestinian territory. Israel illegally occupy all three, a violation of International Law. Hamas control Gaza, only because of the complete body of work by Israel. Palestinians are entiltled to everthing that Israel has and the Israeli peace proposals include even more annexation of land in the West Bank. The complete body of work not only includes apartheid in the West Bank, now we have claims of genocide in Gaza. Add it all up, the complete body of work, that's the oppposite of what the free world stands for. The UN need to step in as a security force in all 3 occupied territories.

  30. BLINK… BLINK….
    SO WHY DIDNT U DO A 2 STATE SOLUTION ALL THESE YEARS WHEN ALL NATIONS DEMANDED THEY B GIVEN THEIR RIGHT? SO THIS SITUATION WOULD NOT ARISE!
    BLINK…BLINK

  31. Кто поддерживает Хамас они и есть войско Даджаля.

  32. These two together are one smeary, C*M Bath! Their dewey eyes trying to show how concerned they are is truly pathetic.

  33. He lying through his teeth 😂😂😂😂
