[Editor’s note: Blinken later took down this tweet, but why did he put it up in the first place?]
Despicable even for this administration.
It didn’t take long.
On October 8th, Secretary of State Blinken tweeted that, “Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and I spoke further on Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel. I encouraged Türkiye’s advocacy for a cease-fire and the release of all hostages held by Hamas immediately.”
As FDD’s Jonathan Schanzer, a former terror finance analyst at the Treasury Department pointed out, “Hakan Fidan was the intelligence chief who presided over the establishment of a Hamas headquarters in Turkey that included an active terrorist commander directing attacks in the West Bank, Saleh al-Arouri.”
Turkey’s Islamist dictator, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is an open supporter of Islamic terrorism who had previously tweeted that, “Hamas is not a terrorist organization and Palestinians are not terrorists. It is a resistance movement that defends the Palestinian homeland against an occupying power. The world stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine against their oppressors.”
Fidan has welcomed and met with Hamas terrorist leaders.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met on Saturday with a large delegation of Hamas leadership, including the extremist group’s leader Ismail Haniyeh and deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri, both of whom have a $5 mln bounty on their heads after being designated as terrorists by the US.
Erdogan also received the chairman of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh alongside the accompanying delegation at Istanbul’s Vahdettin Palace, according to state broadcaster TRT.
Hamas partly operates out of Turkey.
Several senior leaders of Hamas and their families now live permanently in Turkey, and some have received Turkish passports. In addition to engaging in terrorism, the Hamas officials have also established their own businesses. Ismail Haniyeh’s son, Hazem, moved his family from Gaza to Turkey, meaning that the Hamas head has transferred almost his entire family from Qatar and Gaza to Turkey.
Endorsing calls for a cease fire by a Hamas ally in the aftermath of the mass murder of Israelis is despicable even for this administration.
Condor says
There is no cease fire for terrorists. It is now IDF search and destroy.
Wellington says
Blinken, wretched man that he is, was actually the one who coordinated the 51 deceitful intelligence personnel, despicable men like Brennan and Clapper, putting out a statement not long before the 2020 Presidential election to the effect that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. Blinken is a massive incompetent and a liar. He’s also a wuss when confronted by international bad guys, for instance the pathetic way he reacted before Chinese representatives in Alaska a couple of years ago. Like Biden, he has no positives. None. Yes, he still has his mind in tact, contra Biden, but it is a mind that does America and the truth no good service.
The American democratic republic is now largely led by people the Founding Fathers of America would have despised and is why America is largely, though not solely, in the profound trouble it presently finds itself. Compounding this political rot is the cultural and societal rot as led by the putrid educational establishment, Big Tech, the entertainment industry and even sports franchises like the NFL, NBA and MLB (no truly patriotic and informed American should have anything to do any longer with the NFL, NBA and MLB).
Face it. America and so much of the West are now led by lesser people, even evil people. No wonder the Islamic sphere of mankind and wicked authoritarians like Xi and Putin feel emboldened. What an effing mess of a world we now live in. Didn’t have to be this way but it surely is this way at present. What is going on currently in Israel is DIRECTLY related to what I have stated above. Yes, when deficient people or even worse are in charge there is no way humanity will ascend. Expect descent big time. Sure happening now.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
100% correct.
Tragic beyond tragic – and the most recent stuff is the direct result of the fraudulent 2020 US Presidential Election.
Wellington says
You know, James, until the 2020 election is widely viewed as fraudulent, to that very extent does American democracy (or what’s left of it) remain in peril.
Is it possible Joe Biden actually won the 2020 election fairly? Yes, this could be theoretically argued but I for one would definitely not argue it. Still, others might and they have the right to do so.
But the crux of all things here resides in the refusal by so many to seriously consider (and acknowledge) that the 2020 election was not won fairly by Joe Biden, so often by the very people who for years asserted that the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia, something that has been 100% proven false.
Thus, why trust anyone asserting Biden won fairly in 2020 who will not admit that the entire Russian collusion hoax re the 2016 election was bogus from the get-go? To date, it has been my experience that those maintaining that the 2020 election was won fairly by Biden virtually NEVER admit that charges of Trump colluding with Putin in the 2016 election is based on zero evidence. Thus, I accord no credence, or even respect, to such people.
James Lincoln says
Great points, Wellington.
Fully agree.
somehistory says
Yeah, of course those poor babies beheaded, and those poor young women raped to death, were the worst of oppressors, and builders of homes and apartment houses, and set up blockades that weren’t…
And the evil turkeys who fund, support, supply hamas are bound to care about those who have been slaughtered, so blinken jumped in with his dirty feet and bloody hands….he sent at least $75 million….some saying it was really half a billion….to hamas.
Can he just delete himself? Perhaps AI could do it.
tgusa says
Blinken is reaching out to muslim leaders for assistance in stopping the slaughter of Jewish women and children.. “From the Web: Antony Blinken, Biden’s nominee for Secretary of State, hails from a family of immigrants, refugees and a Holocaust survivor.”
You cant fix stupid. Democrats have been defrauding Americans in elections for a long time. That is why you can go to supposed democrat led areas and find very few democrat supporters. I have done that a seen it. That is also why democrats howl when anyone mentions election integrity. I think other countries have taken a queue from US democrats and done the same thing.
tgusa says
Many of our so-called representatives today are exactly who John Adams warned us about.
“One useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three is a Congress.”
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”
“Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.”
John Adams, vastly smarter than our modern leadership and John had much less access to information than our modern fools do.
James Lincoln says
tgusa,
Thanks for the reminders regarding the quotes from the great John Adams.
The problem is, we shouldn’t have to be reminded.
somehistory says
For many, it would be a first time read. How many people today know anything about history? It’s all social stuff, “gender studies,” and other nonsense.
Hence….the need to learn true and important things; like what Mr. Adams wrote. And we can be glad he wrote them.
tgusa says
My pleasure James and you are right, we shouldn’t have to be reminded. You and John think alike.
“Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people.”
While I am at it and very pertinent today.
“We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our Liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good.”
Some 250 years ago the Man thought believed and wrote a whole lot that still applies today.
