Antony Blinken is "actually pretty typical" of his position, hopefully we can hold him and his policies to account, obligated by basic moral principles.
With
The Washington Connection the first volume of Chomsky and Herman's
The Political Economy of Human Rights in mind one statement by
Antony Blinken is not a lie:
his response was “actually pretty typical.” This is unacceptable. More people can see it now with more diverse media and as we move toward judging policies and policy apologists with basic moral principles.
.> Blinken told Congress that US does not “currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of US humanitarian assistance.”
.> Now, the Secretary of State is facing calls for his resignation. “[Blinken] lied. People went hungry, and some died. He needs to resign now,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) wrote this morning. Tlaib, who is the only Palestinian-American in the US House, is the first member of Congress to call for Blinken to resign.
.> Blinken has not, as of the time of publication, responded to Tlaib’s comment. He justified his response to the reports on CBS this morning, saying his response was “actually pretty typical.”
