Transcript
The secretary Blinken, who went to Israel first, declaring he was there as a jew, identifying with the ethno religious character of this state, which is now standing accused of the potential to commit genocide. Is Secretary Blinken concerned that ruling in favor of South Africa in this case could set the stage for his own prosecution or that of your colleagues? I’m just not going to get ahead of hypotheticals, and you probably shouldn’t either.
Jackson, go ahead. All right. So he referred to the genocide allegations as unfounded. Admiral Kirby, you and I’ve seen this tape, referred to them as meritless. These two references are hogwash. Yeah, I think that that’s true. I mean, Max Blumenthal is putting them on the spot and they have stock answers. And I think that most people are going to think those stock answers or foolish answers and don’t really address the issue that Max is raising.
