Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan asked his U.S. counterpart Antony Blinken in a call on Sunday for Washington to use its influence over Israel to halt Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank, a Turkish diplomatic source said. Turkey, which supports a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict, has harshly criticised Israel, calling for a full ceasefire and for Israeli leaders to be tried in international courts for war crimes, and slammed Western support for Israel. Washington, Israel's closest ally, has repeatedly said it supports Israel's right to defend itself after the cross-border rampage by Hamas militants on Oct....

Excerpted: The three wise monkeys behind this strategic lunacy are Antony Blinken, Robert Malley and Jake Sullivan. They are Obama-ians: the reckless ideologues who contrived the Iranian nuclear deal in 2015. Washington and Tehran had been at odds for more than 40 years. What better way of breaking the standoff than setting a terrorist regime on the glide-path to a nuclear weapon — and delivering pallets of cash to its coffers? Biden’s envoys want to revive the Iran deal at all costs, American blood be forgotten and regional prestige be damned. And Biden agrees, just as he nods along to...

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announces sanctions against Jews accused of attacking Arabs in Judea and Samaria... "We have underscored to the Israeli government the need to hold accountable extremist settlers who have committed violent attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank", Blinken said. "As President Biden has repeatedly said, those attacks are unacceptable"....

While the UN, UNRWA, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken seek to subvert Israel, the Arab states quietly encourage Israel's evisceration of Hamas. This week’s column on the ongoing fight between civilization and barbarity focuses on the role on the United Nations and its various agencies in keeping jihadism alive and well; the outrageous efforts by the incompetent Anthony Blinken to hamstring Israel’s justified defense; and the little-known or publicized support by Arab leaders for Israel’s eradication of Hamas. Winkin’Every one of the United Nation’s agencies involved in the Middle East have placed it on the side of the most...

The Obama-Biden-Blinken “realignment” is well under way, and the consequences are dire for Israel and the United States — and indeed for the rest of the world. It is now crystal clear that Secretary of State Antony Blinken is exploiting the Iranian-backed Hamas war to destroy the existing state of Israel through the use of threats, blackmail, leaks, the media, diplomatic backstabbing, the Arab states, the European Union, and the United Nations. In a State Department memo dated Monday, November 13, Blinken explained America’s posture toward the Arabs in Gaza. It’s madness. He wrote: As I said in private and...

VIDEOPerhaps some of you might remember the "Maalox Moment" commercials that used to run frequently on television. Well, perhaps now is a very good time to bring back at least one of those commercials because Antony Blinken most definitely had a Maalox Moment when Joe Biden public called his paymaster, Xi Jinping, a dictator in San Francisco. You can actually see the exact Maalox Moment that Blinken experienced as you could see the extreme pain that ran across his face when the word "dictator" slipped past Biden's lips. It was such an obvious Maalox Moment for Blinken that I even...

During an interview with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday’s “NBC Nightly News,” host Lester Holt stated that while Israel has produced video of weapons “it says were recovered at the al-Shifa hospital, video of what may be a tunnel” that “doesn’t necessarily point to a Hamas command and control center as Israel and the U.S. have maintained.” Holt asked, “Israel is showing video of weapons it says were recovered at the al-Shifa hospital, video of what may be a tunnel. But it’s clear that the evidence doesn’t necessarily point to a Hamas command and control center as Israel...

VIDEOAntony Blinken looked like he was in a state of great anguish verging on outright grief during Biden's San Francisco meeting with his paymaster, Xi Jinping. Is it because he has given a sneak peek at the blackmail material that Xi has on Biden or did his Deep State overlords just tell him Joe gotta go?

An alleged campaign finance violation could ensnare Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 51 former senior intelligence officials who asserted without evidence in 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. America First Legal, a conservative organization run by former Donald Trump White House aide Stephen Miller, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission in late October, alleging a "coordinated communication" and an unreported in-kind contribution to the Joe Biden presidential campaign and related entities, in violation of federal law. "[The] evidence suggests that the respondents failed to disclose coordinated expenditures constituting in-kind donations with respect to the...

Banner headline events almost always flow from quieter real-life causes, and the worst attack on Israel in fifty years is not an exception. The coordinated raids and massacres on October 7 were possible only because of more subtle interventions over two and a half years in rooms at the State Department and the White House, with indirect help from nonprofits like the Soros-funded International Crisis Group. These interventions were driven by a small network of government and interest group insiders whose actions have gone unreported in establishment media. Though their further consequences aren’t yet clear, they’ll almost certainly involve a...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken dressed his four-year-old son as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a Halloween event with President Biden on the White House lawn Monday night.Biden gave the young “Zelensky,” who wore a dark-green sweatshirt, a box of M&Ms bearing the presidential seal — after asking Congress earlier this month to give another $61.4 billion for the real deal, on top of $113 billion already appropriated to help Kyiv resist Russia’s 20-month-old invasion.Blinken was accompanied by his wife, Biden’s White House Cabinet secretary Evan Ryan, and their three-year-old daughter, who was dressed in the Ukrainian flag’s blue-and-yellow scheme.The...

VIDEOStolen elections have consequences and one of the Yuuuuge consequences is a world aflame. There is no way that two of the hotspots, Ukraine and the Middle East, would be in such turmoil had Donald Trump remained in the Oval Office. Russia would NOT have invaded Ukraine because Trump would NOT have suggested that Ukraine could join NATO. Also Trump NIXED the disastrous Ukraine nuke deal that gave billions to the mullahs. So what happened under Joe Biden? His National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan worked tirelessly to reinstate that absurd deal. Just weeks after the mullahs got $6 billion, they...

VIDEOAlger Hiss 2.0. The State Department's architect of the disastrous Iran deal has turned out to likely be working as an intelligence asset for the mullahs. Robert Malley, the spiritual son of State Department traitor Alger Hiss. It was no secret as to where Malley's sympathies lay since you can hear him for yourself speaking lovingly about Hamas. Amazingly, despite Malley having being busted months ago, the Biden regime still went ahead with the horrible Iran deal, giving them BILLIONS of dollars, despite the fact that the deal was brokered by a known Hamas sympathizing Alger Hiss.

On today's State of the Union show on CNN, host Dana Bash treated Secretary of State Antony Blinken to a softball interview regarding Biden admin failures on the attack on Israel, and the release of $6 billion to Iran. Bash began by playing a clip of National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recently saying: "The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades. Now, challenges remain, Iran's nuclear weapons program, tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. But the amount of time that I have to spend on crisis and conflict in the Middle East compared today to...

Senior members of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah claimed that Hamas' surprise attack on Israel that killed at least 600 people was given the green light by Iranian security officials. Hamas plotted the air, land and sea invasions with help from officers of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps The official go-ahead for the attack was allegedly given at a Monday meeting in Beirut. Four other Iranian backed military groups were believed to be at the meeting, including members of Hamas and Hezbollah. Secretary of State Antony Blinken claims he has 'not yet seen evidence' that Iran was involved in the attack....

NEW DELHI/HANOI (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden visits Vietnam's capital city Sunday, where the two countries are expected to declare themselves strategic partners, as the United States seeks to push supply chains from China and both countries to try to counter Beijing's military and diplomatic influence in Asia.
