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.
“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?
