Hi, just to clear up a misconception; Blinken is not responsible for the weapons; he is secretary of state.
My issues with him come from the fact he told a hundred or so lies (big ones), some publicly - some publicly at press events, some privately in negotiations. And these lies gave diplomatic cover. And not only that, some of these lies enabled more violence which he know would happen if he told them.
Another thing he did was indirectly support and enable the crimes in Gaza by using USA soft power. And this is not something he randomly did on Tuesday each month. Indeed, he spent a lot of the last year devoting himself to the cause.
Some would argue he was just following orders. Well, I have opinions on that.
Hi. The guy your talking to is the great understander of law who strangely enough doesn’t know the law when it goes against his fee fees. Aka he is lying to you.

It is not a war crime to lie, provide diplomatic cover, or otherwise support someone who commits war crimes. Even if it is immoral.
By the same token, it is not a war crime to support Hamas (financially, diplomatically, or otherwise) even though Hamas too is accused of war crimes.
I totally disagree on the morals. And I feel smug in my moral superiority, sorry.
The second point I would have words about too
You can certainly make a case that Blinken is immoral. But he’s not a war criminal by any definition.
I have my opinion, and many courts around the world would agree

Only one court has international jurisdiction over war crimes, and they don’t agree with your opinion.
