Blinken denies US double standard over Israeli rights abuses

“U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday rejected suggestions that Washington might have a ‘double standard’ when applying U.S. law to allegations of abuses by the Israeli military …

“‘Do we have a double standard? The answer is no’, Blinken [said] …

“Israel's military … forces have killed 34,000 Palestinians in besieged Gaza … many of them civilians and children.

“… [In] the Israeli-occupied West Bank … Israeli forces or settlers have killed at least 460 Palestinians …”

“The Gaza Strip has been reduced to a wasteland, [with] extreme food shortages …”

“Israel has denied allegations of deliberately causing humanitarian suffering …”

“… So far the Biden administration has said it has not found Israel in breach of international law …”

Kibbutz Blinken



“… [Protesters] have turned Mr Blinken's gilded block of multimillion-dollar homes into a fake-bloodstained, concrete-barricaded campsite.

“The residents of the affectionately named ‘Kibbutz Blinken’ confront him day and night over his support for Israel …

“This ‘settlement’ has evolved into a rather sophisticated operation: there are delegated clean-up responsibilities, signs reminding campers of city-mandated quiet hours, a kitchen tent … and even portable toilets.

“Every morning, at 7am, the women do their ‘wake-up call’, shouting at the house …”
