The US is trying to stop an invasion of Rafah no matter what.

Wouldn't they be better to stop providing the bombs and funds to Israel?

You have just validated what Adams has said, the interviewer asked Adams about Israel and he retorted "why don't you ask about Egypt and the interviewer (apparently she is an Al Jazeera reporter) would not answer it. So given your post doesn't answer why the interview with Adams was clap trap after all, can we assume it wasn't.

And to add insult to injury you use a left wing news source biased against Israel.

 

 NPR has been criticized for perceived bias in its coverage of Israel and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.^[4][5][6][7] The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), a pro-Israel American media monitoring organization based in Boston, has been particularly critical of NPR.

   When neighbouring Jordon and Lebanon allowed Palestinian into their Countries

The Palestinians formed militias and tried to take over the Country by force and both ended up in civil wars between the Palestinians and the Government .

    Egypt doesn't want a civil war

Too late, they have enough bombs to level Rafah as it is. Diplomatic pressure is the only way out now.

Can you tell me where I said you were lying? I asked who said that, it was not Blinken. You felt it was a very important statement as you put it as the title, who said this, simple question for you. No I have no intention of watching the video, I have all I need from the US gov press release on it.

The way it was presented in the post strongly implied that Blinken said it, so as he didn't, that was a  sleazy move.

His comment "seems" to show nothing of the kind. More sleazy games.

You said transcript. It's reasonable to mean transcript of the video, you didn't specify. Nonetheless you called m on the quote.

 

Again, you you believe revenge is an appropriate response? Try some meaningful discussion instead of constant attacks.

Nope, it strongly suggest I quoted form the video I posted., I didn't not reference Blinken in any way in my comment.

How about you answer the same question. Is revenge an appropriate response? That's what my comment was all about.

Meaning full discussion would be you stating who made that quote when asked rather than misleading people that is was Blinken

The comment stands on it's own merits even if Mickey Mouse said it. The comment was accurately quoted form the video. Deal with it.

Its up to you to say who by, its not up to me to be forced to watch a 20 minute video on a discussion forum to see who your quote came from.

It seems that neither you or Brian have the courage of your convictions to state where you stand on that sentiment. You only want to attack it. I'll draw the only possible inference I can from that.

Or you could just say who said it rather than deflect.

Have you watched it, if so stop being inflammatory, why are you keeping it a secret. It's supposed to be a debate not a game of charades!

Where was I required to state who said it? It's in the link.  I didn't care who said it. I cared only about the sentiment expressed. You're running away from the sentiment and doing whatever you can to discredit me for quoting it. Pretty telling.
