Blinken the Foreign Minister of Israel, Not America, Hamas Official Says

Netanyahu made it clear that he intends to control all of Gaza once the U.S.-backed genocide is over

A Hamas official said this week that the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is Jewish, has been unfairly blaming the group in the media over the failure of ceasefire negotiations with Israel.

Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, told Reuters that Blinken’s comments “contradict reality.”

“It is not strange for Blinken, who is known as the foreign minister of Israel, not America, to make such a statement. Even the Israeli negotiating team admitted [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu was the one hindering reaching an agreement,” he said.

Blinken has not disguised his support for Israel during the genocide and said upon his first visit to the country after the 7 October attack, “I come before you not only as the United States secretary of state, but as a Jew.”

He has been a fierce defender of Israel and called the effort by South Africa to hold Israel accountable for alleged genocide in Gaza “galling.”

Blinken praised Israel for negotiating in good faith and called its latest proposal “extraordinarily generous.”

One problem.

Israel has refused to agree to Hamas’s demand that the ceasefire should be permanent. So Israel will essentially begin its offensive once any temporary ceasefire expires, like it did earlier in the war.

TRENDPOST: Netanyahu is owned by his extremist Knesset, namely Itamar Ben Gvir, who said he would dissolve the government if he lets up on the assault in Gaza.

Netanyahu made it clear that he intends to control all of Gaza once the U.S.-backed genocide is over.

Netanyahu has said that Israel “utterly rejects international dictate regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians” and he would not accept a two-state solution.

Totally absent from the mainstream media news is how and why the West’s decision to create the Jewish State of Israel sowed the seeds of Crusades 2000.

In our Spring 2006 issue of The Trends Journal, when it was a quarterly, we wrote: 

“While the seeds of Crusades 2000 had been planted in full view of the world, and all those watching could have anticipated the eventual harvest, the memories of what had happened and what would occur have been fogged by rigid ideology, fanatical religiosity, patriotic fervor, government propaganda and ulterior motives. 

“Regardless of England’s reasons or intentions—self-serving or otherwise—Crusades 2000 was set in motion by the 1917 ‘Balfour Declaration,’ that laid the foundation for Israel: ‘His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object … .’” 

Right or wrong, good or bad, like it or not … during the 25 years of the Palestine Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale immigration of impoverished and persecuted Jewish refugees—from Germany to Russia—returned to redeem their Promised Land after 2000 years of exile. Consequently, the Jewish population of Palestine increased from less than 10 percent in 1917 to over 30 percent in 1947, the year Israel was granted statehood by the UN.

The local inhabitants, who worshiped God differently and rejected the “God promised us this land” version of the Jewish returnees, waged numerous battles and rebellions in an effort to hold onto their property and to stop further Jewish immigration.

Underlying it, in the Western world, there is and was a deep-seated, organic anti-Islam bias.

It is now front and center for all who are not deaf, dumb and blind to hear, understand and see.
