    Mr Blinken also told the press conference that South African claims that Israel was committing genocide, filed at the International Court of Justice, were “meritless”.

    Mr. Blinken is full of shit.

                Is there an answer I can give that won’t result in you trying to convince me that voting for someone who supports genocide is somehow a moral choice?

                It’s a choice I’m forced to make. If I vote for Biden or don’t, the only thing that changes is the quantity and variety of blood on my hands. I bitterly resent being forced into this position, and my capacity for withering contempt is insufficient to properly regard anyone who demands I be happy about it or consider it as normal or acceptable.

                No attempt to convince me that I am not being rendered monstrous by this choice, or that I should alter my judgement for those who make it gleefully, is going to be productive, so I’m just going to go drink now.

                  The sides aren’t real, only the consequences of believing so hard that there are. The only side I’m on is my own side, exclusive membership of 1. So is everyone else, most can’t fathom it though.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    America’s top diplomat told a press conference in Tel Aviv that leaders in the region shared US concerns about the “dire humanitarian situation” on the ground.

    Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously voiced his staunch opposition to such a state, citing security concerns.

    When asked about whether there was any evidence that Israel was de-escalating its military campaign in Gaza, Mr Blinken answered that no one in the region - including the Israelis - wanted the conflict to escalate.

    In recent weeks, Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based organisation designated a terrorist group by the US, has increased rocket fire into northern Israel.

    He announced that the US and Israel agreed on a plan for the UN to conduct an “assessment mission” that would be the first step toward allowing Palestinians to return to the areas of northern Gaza that have been devastated by the Israeli offensive.

    Mr Blinken also told the press conference that South African claims that Israel was committing genocide, filed at the International Court of Justice, were “meritless”.
