Palestinian Americans refused to meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
“After nearly four unbearable months of constant US-enabled Israeli violence against our families, friends and other innocent civilians in Gaza, and throughout Palestine, we cannot imagine what Secretary Blinken could have to say or discuss with us,” said a statement from Palestinian community leaders invited to meet the American diplomat.
The Huffington Post interviewed one man, Tariq Haddad, who lost nearly 90 family members in Gaza to the war.
“Where do I start trying to meet with somebody who I feel is primarily responsible for the killing of all my family, and who has had four months to make a difference to actually prevent my family from being killed?” Haddad said.
Dozens of demonstrators have slept outside of Blinken’s home for the past week to protest Israel’s ongoing attack on Gaza – and US acquiescence.
