"if you don't allow more aid in 30 days we'll reevaluate sending you weapons."

Not stop killing people, not stop bombing hospitals, schools, bakeries, and refugee camps, just allow more food. Not immediately, just in 30 days. And not "we'll cut off all aid and withdraw support", "we'll reevaluate sending weapons".

And this towards the end of the genocide operation in Gaza. Nothing about the current genocide operations in the West Bank or Lebanon.

re-evaluate

"We'll ask the billionaires who are making massive profits off arms sales if they think we should stop selling you bombs"

L O L... as if the Pentagon has any teeth when it comes to Israel. Either Blinken is too stupid to realize it, or he thinks the American population is too stupid to realize it.

Or he is just putting up a show and has no intention of following it up.

Because it's such an empty threat. 30 days to comply or Biden will start to think a out taking actions. It's a warning that a strongly worded letter is to follow.

Blinken is a not so secret Zionist. His grandpappy was a early backer of Israel and he's proud of his legacy. The whole thing of having Blinken talking to Israel to help Palestinians is a farce.

Yeah Blinken, wag your finger a little harder. That'll make them stop the genocide.

"This time there's a small possibility of the chance that we might mean it!"

This is what zero credibility looks like.

I can't, I can't, no comment.
