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.

    USAID backed up their report with evidence there is no room for denial here. Blinken intentionally lied.

      You can say whatever you want about it, and downvote me to no end (I had nothing to do with it), just giving you facts. Go back and look at every administration since Nixon and you’ll find almost the exact same thing happening. A few reports versus whatever other Intel they have isn’t going to matter much.

      “We had other Intel that said this was not the case”

      Bank on that being said over and over if he’s called to testify.

        just giving you facts.

        No you’re not, you’re just imagining convenient countering reports. Sure, maybe they could put together some fake report, but it’s not anything they’ve claimed and a cover report without actual facts behind it isn’t actually a counter.

        “you can say whatever you want about it” why keep talking when you just announced to everyone you are not here for discussion but to just announce your incorrect opinion?

        You are what’s wrong with these communities. You aren’t looking for discussion you are looking for bias confirmation. Or your intentionally doing it which is worse.

        “They had contradictory reports” isn’t facts, it’s fanfic.

          Riiiight. Colin Powell lying to the UN and Congress with photos and dossiers is fanfic. Suiuuure.

          You should report back to very important job at The Pentagon before they realize you’re not there and instead wasting time in the internet!

            Colin Powell died in 2021. What does he have to do with the contradictory reports you made up to claim that Blinken saw?
