The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called for the resignation of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken after he reportedly lied to Congress after two government authorities concluded that Israel deliberately blocked deliveries of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

According to ProPublica: “The U.S. Agency for International Development delivered its assessment to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the State Department’s refugees bureau made its stance known to top diplomats in late April. Their conclusion was explosive because U.S. law requires the government to cut off weapons shipments to countries that prevent the delivery of U.S.-backed humanitarian aid. Israel has been largely dependent on American bombs and other weapons in Gaza since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks.

    Desert Storm, 9/11, post 9/11 invasion of Iraq, post 9/11 invasion of Afghanistan, Iran Nuclear Program, North Korea nuclear program, Russian invasion of Crimea, Russian invasion of Ukraine, and now this.

    That’s just off the top of my head from the past 30 years. All had reports saying one thing, and a completely different set of reports and intel to justify the narrative of whatever action the executive branch wanted to do.

      Other than the Iraq war I’m not aware of any of this and I can’t really find any information, you don’t have any links by chance, do you?
