Speaking at a news conference in Doha, Qatar, alongside Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Mr. Blinken said that “a deal was on the table that was virtually identical” to one that Hamas put forward on May 6.
At some point, he said, “you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.”
Fuck Blinken and fuck the NYT
Fuck anyone that gives speeches at AIPAC and expects us to believe they’re not bought off already

Motherfuckers don’t even try to deny that they’ve been bought off.
If you’re mad conservatives buy off SC justices with trips and bribes, then you should be pissed off when other high level government officials are bought off.
And AIPAC buys a shit ton of government officials, regardless of party or anything else.
They just require complete dedication to Israel over everything else
Why is it hard to believe that the people who started this war don’t actually want it to end
What?
I agree with that (except calling this genocide a war).
Israel started it decades ago, and openly keep saying they won’t let it end until their genocide is finished.
They don’t want it to end yet, because there’s still Palestinians alive in Gaza.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your thirst for blood I guess
Says the individual trying to circumspectly justify genocide.
Any government intentionally withholding food, medicine, and potable water to a population it considers undesirable is a government intentionally committing genocide.
Says the individual trying to pretend that this is a genocide and blaming the defender for the war lol
TIL allowing thousands of calories of food aid in per person per day is “withholding food”
Words don’t mean anything any more. Up is down, black is white, and feeding civilians is genocide
Controlling the borders and allowing in thousands of calories when hundreds of thousands or millions of calories are needed for the population is in fact genocide.
It’s not hard to understand unless you’re intentionally trying to justify genocide.
Most genocidaires in history don’t stop food completely, but let in a minimal amount of food to encourage infighting.
One person does not mean millions of calories per day, they need thousands. I believe the total food aid allowed into Gaza is around 3000 calories per person per day.

Only if you believe the government caught lying multiple times in this war unconditionally.
Non-biased sources say that it is closer to 245 calories per day.

Also, and this isn’t about the conflict, but people arguing in good faith don’t confuse per capita measurements with gross measurements and call the people making that point in one stupid for using those figures consistently. That just makes you an asshole.
