Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed shock at the sexual violence inflicted against Israelis on October 7, calling it beyond human description and unlike anything he had seen before.
He criticized the slow response of the United Nations and international community to condemn Hamas’ atrocities, stating that they need to ask themselves why they were slow to acknowledge the situation.
“I can’t think of a real reason,” Jack Tapper began. (Trending: Tucker Carlson Reveals ‘Secret’ Project He’s Been Working On For Months)
“Well, let me just put it this way. I have heard anti-Semitism hypothesized as a reason why the U.N. and the international community might be so slow to acknowledge this,” he continued.
“What do you think?” Tapper asked Blinken.
Blinken said that he did not know why “countries, leaders, international organizations were so slow to focus on this, to bring it to people’s attention. I’m glad it’s finally happened.”
“The atrocities that we saw on October 7 are almost beyond human description or beyond our capacity to digest,” continued the Biden official.
Adding, “And we have talked about them before. But the sexual violence that we saw on October 7 is beyond anything that I have seen either.”
“And, look, I don’t have a good answer to that question,” Blinken continued.
“I think it’s a question that these organizations, these countries need to ask themselves.”
