The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called for the resignation of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken after he reportedly lied to Congress after two government authorities concluded that Israel deliberately blocked deliveries of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

According to ProPublica: “The U.S. Agency for International Development delivered its assessment to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the State Department’s refugees bureau made its stance known to top diplomats in late April. Their conclusion was explosive because U.S. law requires the government to cut off weapons shipments to countries that prevent the delivery of U.S.-backed humanitarian aid. Israel has been largely dependent on American bombs and other weapons in Gaza since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks.

      Riiiight. Colin Powell lying to the UN and Congress with photos and dossiers is fanfic. Suiuuure.

      You should report back to very important job at The Pentagon before they realize you’re not there and instead wasting time in the internet!

        Colin Powell died in 2021. What does he have to do with the contradictory reports you made up to claim that Blinken saw?
