Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday called out other countries for not demanding Hamas surrender.
“What is striking to me is that even as, again, we hear many countries urging the end to this conflict, which we would all like to see, I hear virtually no one saying – demanding of Hamas that it stop hiding behind civilians, that it lay down its arms, that it surrender. This is over tomorrow if Hamas does that. This would have been over a month ago, six weeks ago, if Hamas had done that,” Blinken said during a press briefing at the State Department Wednesday.
“How can it be that there are no demands made of the aggressor and only demands made of the victim,” Blinken went on to say.
The strong comments from Blinken come as the United Nations Security Council continues to negotiate a resolution calling for a suspension in fighting and encouraging more humanitarian aid into the beleaguered Gaza Strip, and as the United States’ support for the resolution remains unresolved.
The people committing a genocide are as bad as the resistance organisation fighting against their occupiers.
If you were alive at the time you would have said the ANC was as bad as the apartheid government.

You cannot deny the Holocaust when it’s happening in front of your eyes.
Again, no. All you’re doing is revealing your ignorance of the nuance of the situation. Presenting reductive arguments isn’t going to solve any problems.
Funny how these condescending appeals to imaginary nuance only come out when it’s Westerners doing the unspeakable evil. Somehow I’m guessing to don’t feel the need to umm and ahh and make it very clear that both sides are bad and you can’t say which is worse when it comes to Russia and Ukraine
Hamas going bye bye! Sorry!
Least genocidal westerner.
