Activist reporter Sam Husseini interrupted Antony Blinken’s presser today, calling him and his allies genocidal criminals.
State Department aides escorted Grayzone News journalist Max Blumenthal from the briefing room while security guards dragged independent journalist Sam Husseini away as Blinken was hailing the cease-fire agreement first pitched in May and set to take effect Sunday.
Some say he was asking questions peacefully when they came over to take him out.
“You pontificate about a free press!” he erupted. “I am asking questions after being told by [spokesman] Matt Miller that he will not answer my questions.”
Husseini posted on his X account that he had “tried to ask a series of questions. Was carried out and handcuffed. Completely excessive force.”
Blinken had instructed the journalist to “respect the process” and promised he would have a chance to ask questions after he was done presenting.
Blumenthal and Husseini are infuriated that the war has gone on so long.
“Criminal! Why aren’t you in The Hague? Why aren’t you in The Hague? Why aren’t you in The Hague!” Sam Husseini shouted as law enforcement arrested him and dragged him out of the room.
Husseini did the same thing in Helsinki for the Trump-Putin summit in 2018. He certainly has passion.

Well, Look at Gaza. Who wants to Stand before “Almighty God” with that Blood on their Hands? US taxpayers?
Have none of you learned, Yet? Did, Captain America, Defeat Al Quadea? NO. I just heard Al Quadea took Syria. If I were a JEW, I
d rather have that SISSY assad on my flank then Al Quadea Head Choppers! Really.Why do you people all fail to learn? This is all in the Bible. You were supposed to "help your Brothers" not set them against one-another to bring final destruction! Jesus came to teach everyone (including, and especially, the Jews, to forgive) and everyone killed Jesus! Brilliant. So ... We know how this Ends. Tragic.
People this is all ONE GIANT Chinese Finger Trap, the more you Fight, the Tighter it Gets. And, Know, Mankind, Youre fighting God. Think you can Win? God made it look easy to Trap YOU. DO HIS WILL, FORGIVE YOUR BROTHERS and ACCEPT THEM, SHARE HIS LAND, OR ELSE! You know the rest of the Story, Christians, I suggest you share it with Israel if you love them. ALL will be Destroyed Otherwise.
And, Arresting a Journalist ( who is Jewish I think) for asking Questions is an Abomination. I mean, really, it just looks BAD! Lucky, for the War Criminals, all the News medias are Censoring it. However, if things turn south, then people get upset with the Criminals and those who Hid the War Crimes! History Repeats.
