Secretary of State Antony Blinken has finally found a country that he is willing to stand up to. That country happens to be Israel.

Blinken has been a key figure in President Joe Biden’s plan to blackmail Israel into letting Hamas survive and rebuild, which is what Biden is calling for by telling Israel not to invade Rafah. Blinken continues to insist that Hamas can be defeated by other means, a laughable notion before you even consider that the grand plan he has been boasting of involves getting Hamas to agree to a ceasefire that he described as “extraordinarily, extraordinarily generous.”
