Secretary of State Blinken Holding "Listening Sessions" to Hear Staffers Literally Crying About Biden's Alleged Support of Israel

This is where we are. Every institution has been taken over by lunatic woke adult kindergartners.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken held "listening sessions" with Muslim, Arab-American and Jewish staffers amid growing internal frustration over the department's handling of the war in Israel and Gaza.

The meetings came after a State Department official resigned in protest this week over continued US support for an Israeli bombing campaign in the Gaza Strip that the Hamas-run health ministry says has killed more than 4,000 people.

Please stop repeating this completely made-up claim.

On Friday afternoon, Blinken met with a small group of State Department staffers who are members of two Arab-American and Muslim employee organizations. The top US diplomat also had a meeting arranged with a group of Jewish employees at the department.

I have a feeling the latter was arranged to provide cover for the Islamist whiners.

A source familiar with one of the meetings called it "an opportunity [for Blinken] to hear directly from the workforce since his trip to the region."

The source declined to elaborate out of respect for the individuals in attendance.

...

Blinken's meetings come as The Huffington Post reports that US diplomats are drafting a dissent cable over the Biden administration's approach to the conflict. A dissent cable is an internal channel for officials to privately express their concerns.

Apparently there's a "mutiny" brewing at State.

President Joe Biden's approach to the ongoing violence in Israel and Palestine is fueling mounting tensions at the U.S. government agency most involved in foreign policy: the State Department.

Officials told HuffPost that Secretary of State and his most senior advisers are overlooking widespread internal frustration. Some department staff said they feel as if Blinken and his team are uninterested in their own experts' advice as they focus on supporting Israel's expanding operation in Gaza, where the Palestinian militant group Hamas is based.

Apparently these people need a refresher of what the word "advice" means.

Hint: Your superiors are not required to obey your "advice." And no, they're also not required to hear it, either.

"There's basically a mutiny brewing within State at all levels," one State Department official said.

Since Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, fighting in the region has killed more than 4,000 people, and Israel is preparing a ground invasion of Gaza that is expected to claim tens of thousands of additional lives.

The Huffington Post makes the 4,000 people killed claim this time without even acknowledging the source is Hamas.

But the Huffington Post will never, ever be subject to a social media monopoly disinformation penalty.

The left is allowed to propagandize. I guess because their other alternative is setting bombs and killing bank guards.

Two officials told HuffPost that diplomats are preparing what's called a "dissent cable," a document criticizing American policy that goes to the agency's leaders through a protected internal channel.

Such cables are seen within the State Department as consequential statements of serious disagreement at key historical moments. The dissent channel was established amid deep internal conflict during the Vietnam War, and diplomats have since then used it to warn that the U.S. is making dangerous and self-defeating choices abroad.

The cable would come in the wake of Josh Paul, a veteran State Department official, announcing his resignation on Wednesday. After more than a decade of working on arms deals, he said, he could not morally support the U.S.'s moves to supply Israel's war effort.

"In the last 24 hours, I've been getting an immense amount of outreach from colleagues... with really encouraging words of support and a lot of people saying they feel the same way and it's very difficult for them," said Paul, whose departure was first reported by HuffPost.

...

Multiple officials said they have heard colleagues talk about quitting.

Oh no -- not that. Anything but that. We can't have far leftwing lunatic bureaucrats with delusions of godhood quitting. The Republic could scarcely withstand such an assault!

We need to purge the bureaucracy. Far too many bureaucrats believe that they themselves determine policy -- not the elected government.
