As the situation in Israel continues to roil world leaders are trying to find a way to deal with the whole situation in a way that will contain the violence before it escalates further. Today U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken did his part, calling Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and ... giving him a stern talking to apparently.
Secretary Antony Blinken (@SecBlinken) ~ I spoke with Palestinian Authority President Abbas to discuss the terrorist attacks against Israel. I urged that all leaders in the region must condemn these appalling acts of terrorism.

This coming after Abbas had earlier in the day notably not denounced the attacks on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, instead taking the opportunity of the attack to again denounce Israel.

As the article notes Abbas:
... gave directions to provide all that is necessary to bolster the resilience and steadfastness of the Palestinian people in facing the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation and settler gangs.
It's not hard to guess what Abbas means by that, and it doesn't seem likely that it means that he's going to encourage the Palestinian civilians to cooperate with Israeli officials.
It's hard to miss that Blinken doesn't mention how Mahmoud Abbas' side of the conversation went, so it isn't a stretch to assume that it did not go well. Regardless, no one seems to be interested in giving Antony Blinken the benefit of the doubt here.
Well, that's because Blinken is a pansy-ass - just like his boss.
Gingerbread Florida Man (@Junebagio) ~ {Replying to @SecBlinken} Ok. Now you can resign.
Many are pointing out the relatively recent news that the US unfroze 6 billion dollars in Iranian funds and suggesting that that money may have to helped aid in these attacks,.
Brandon Saario (@SaarioBrandon) ~ {Replying to @SecBlinken and @margbrennan} Did you give them $6 billion as well?
The Biden administration loves to hand out American taxpayer money to terrorists ...
Ultra Dark Nuclear Logic (@LogicFirst1) ~ {Replying to @SecBlinken} Did he thank you for the funding?
Texas Darlin' (@TexitDarling) ~ When you fund Iran, you fund terrorists.
Others pointed out how we notably only have one side of this conversation.
Bobby D. (@RealSaltySlim) ~ {Replying to @SecBlinken} What’d he say? Yes sir, no problem. GTFOH, they’re cheering “death to America!” 🤡
David Marcus (@BlueBoxDave) ~ The Secretary of State called terrorism customer service and was told to screw himself.
Shad X. (@shadonyx_) ~ Weak. Feeble.
Claud B's Revenge (@b_clad) ~ Bilnken for foreign policy with regards to terrorists ...
It's unclear what Antony Blinken's next step will be, but we won't be surprised if a VERY sternly worded letter were in the offing for the near future ... perhaps followed by an attempt to speak to Abbas' manager.
