"Unreliable sources". Meduza. 2020-11-27. Retrieved 2020-11-28. On November 17, an addition was made to the English-language Wikipedia page about Antony Blinken, speaking at length about his attitude towards Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The edit included a quote, purportedly from Blinken, referring to American sanctions against Russia and claiming that they, among other things, are meant to "demonstrate to the Russian people that there is a very hefty fine for supporting international criminals like [Putin]."

Butcher of Gaza

Protestors interrupted Blinken during a hearing and called him the "Butcher of Gaza". This important info needs to be added. Here are some sources for the news:

As this sobriquet continues to stick, we should consider adding it to the first paragraph. E.g. Antony Blinken, sometimes known as The Butcher of Gaza, is...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccartneyac (talk • contribs) 16:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More accusations

Blinken was called a “war criminal”, “secretary of genocide” and other accusations by protestors during a Senate hearing. This also merits inclusion in the article perhaps under criticism.

Defacement

I noticed that someone had changed the mouse-over preview (but not the actual page) for this page to say something about him being a "war criminal and butcher" in relation to the Gaza war. Can someone advise and/or fix this? I have a screenshot that I can't upload because the posts don't have image functions. 2601:19B:0:96F0:E91E:DF9A:8B8E:9586 (talk) 11:36, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blinken and Netanyahu bait and switch hostage negotiation tactics

Edit ...

Blinken and Netanyahu bait and switch hostage negotiation tactics

"How do we allow our Secretary of State to go into Israel, say we are close to securing a ceasefire now for the 11th time, to leave for Egypt, only for [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu to have a press conference right after him and say we are not taking a deal that ends this war. How are we not ashamed that that is the humiliation that our administration's representatives are faced with,"
