how does it feel to have your legacy be genocide?....

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal has unleashed a torrent of criticism at US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the Israeli war on Gaza that Washington did nothing to stop for 15 months.

Blinken appeared at the last State Department briefing of the Biden presidency, just days before President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sworn in, to claim the past four years have seen successful diplomacy.

In particular, the departing secretary of state described the Israel-Gaza ceasefire as something the current administration proposed in May 2024, although most who were involved in the talks credited Trump’s intervention.

”Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?” Blumenthal can be heard saying at one point. “We all knew we had a deal. Everyone in this room knows we had a deal, Tony, and you kept the bombs flowing.”

“Why did you sacrifice the rules-based order on the mantle of your commitment to Zionism?” Blumenthal continued. “Why did you allow my friends to be massacred? Why did you allow my friends’ homes in Gaza to be destroyed when we had a deal in May?”

 

Blumenthal accused Blinken of helping “destroy our religion, Judaism, by associating it with fascism” and pointed out that the secretary of state’s father-in-law and grandfather were lobbyists for Israel.

“Why did you allow the Holocaust of our time to happen? How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide?” Blumenthal could be heard saying as security removed him from the briefing room.

As State Department spokesman Matt Miller approached, Blumenthal told him he “smirked through the whole thing every day. You smirked through genocide!”

Blumenthal posted the one-minute video of the altercation on X, calling Blinken the “Secretary of Genocide.”

The Biden administration continued delivering financial and military aid to Israel throughout the 15-month war on Hamas in Gaza, which claimed an estimated 46,000 lives in the Palestinian enclave. The US also condemned South Africa for having accused Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice.

Dozens killed after ceasefire announced 

The Israeli cabinet’s vote to confirm the ceasefire agreement has been delayed by a day after a “last-minute crisis”, with Israeli air strikes killing more than 70 people in Gaza in the last day.

What we know:

  • A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas coming into effect from Sunday was announced by Qatari mediators and US President Joe Biden on Thursday, but this deal still needs sign-off from Israel’s government;
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayanhu’s cabinet had been set to vote on the ceasefire overnight, but this was pushed back after he claimed that Hamas had created a “last-minute crisis that prevents a settlement” (Reuters);
  • These issues have now been resolved and the cabinet will meet to vote on the ceasefire this afternoon, Australian time, and is expected to confirm the agreement (The Australian);
  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said he “fully expects” for the ceasefire to go ahead and come into force from Sunday (The Guardian);
  • Air strikes by Israel in Gaza have killed more than 70 people since the ceasefire deal was announced, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry (The Age);
  • The Israeli Defense Forces said it had hit about 50 military targets in Gaza over the last day;
  • Prime Minister Anthony Albanese addressed the “enormous tragedy” of the Gaza conflict following news of the ceasefire, and said that it “must mark the beginning of a new chapter” (The Guardian);
  • Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the ceasefire is an “important opportunity” and could create momentum for longer-term peace in the Middle East.
