BLINKEN THREATENS IF PALESTINE BECOMES ASTATE, THERE WILL BE GLOBAL STARVATION
May 23, 2024Executive Director of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce, Bilal Hammoud, discusses how the US has threatened Arab American leaders with starving the Palestinians if Palestine were to become a state.
“”A vote for Palestinian statehood from the US would lead to defunding of the United Nations from the US… It would be within the right of the UN to then cut programs like the World Food Programme,”” Hammoud explained.
*THIS IS BLACKMAIL! America is holding hostage the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people to independence and self-determination to appease the Zionist lobby that underpins possibly 70% of all American politicians and which has HIJACKED AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY!
AMERICA IS UNDER OCCUPATION!
AMERICA IS NO LONGER THE LAND OF THE FREE!
AMERICA CAN NO LONGER CLAIM TO DEFEND HUMAN RIGHTS AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AS IT HAS STOMPED ALL OVER THEM AS WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED OVER THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS!
Any attempt to use the instruments and mechanisms of international law including the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice and the UN Security Council resolutions to defend and protect human rights and the law have been blocked, banned, vetoed, threatened, rejected, ignored and contradicted by numerous US Administrations including President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and countless politicians.*

English Script:
Bilal Hammoud: So when the topic of statehood got brought up, we had asked for both a free and independent Palestine, a statehood and a seat at the UN Security Council table. And the response was disappointing because it made the comparison to, well first and foremost, that a vote for a Palestinian statehood from the US would lead to the defunding of the UN, from the US being its primary funder. But then the example brought up was that it would be within the right of the UN to then cut programs like the World Food Program. And so the fact that the comparison was made that the world would have to go hungry, just like the Gazans are, and the fact that it’s US policy to starve the world if Palestinians have a free state, regardless of if that’s the law or not, is indicative of something severely wrong.
Saagar Enjeti: Yeah. Oh, go ahead.
Ryan Grim: So Antony Blinken said, we have to oppose a Palestinian statehood or else the World Food Program budget will be cut and people will starve around the world, like that’s the Secretary of State’s assessment that he’s making to you guys in this meeting?
Bilal Hammoud: The example was given that if the UN had to cut its funding, it would have to cut programs like the World Food Program. And that was the example shared, followed by the explanation that the world would have to starve as the Gazans are. And so that is not the comparison you make to make an argument for why Palestinians should not have a free state.
