Highlight:

Sec. of State Blinken has seen no evidence that Hamas was in the AP building Israel bombed. [View all] pnwmom May 2021 OP

If Trump was still in office it wouldn't matter cuz the christofascists have to have Israel Thomas Hurt May 2021 #1

There won't be any evidence. roamer65 May 2021 #2

No evidence of any rockets fired from that building. multigraincracker May 2021 #3

Huh. WhiskeyGrinder May 2021 #4

Gasp! Ya mean the Israelis lied? snark off abqtommy May 2021 #5

Totally off mark. What it means is that Israel provided the information and Blinken has not seen it. Beastly Boy May 2021 #6

I agree. It doesn't mean there is or isn't, it is just that he hasn't seen it. He is currently in JohnSJ May 2021 #8

Why wouldn't he have looked at it? It makes no sense, since he said he asked for evidence, pnwmom May 2021 #10

There is a million reasons why he wouldn't have, Beastly Boy May 2021 #13

He said he hasn't seen any evidence. pnwmom May 2021 #14

Agree 100% panader0 May 2021 #17

Obviously, at least according to the article, the SoS knows of the information being provided. Beastly Boy May 2021 #19

No, he said "IF" there is evidence he hasn't seen it. He didn't say there was evidence. n/t pnwmom May 2021 #27

He said he hasn't seen the evidence provided. Beastly Boy May 2021 #18

I am not guessing. I am reading the content that's in the article. Beastly Boy May 2021 #26

A more accurate header would be:"Blinken has not seen evidence provided by Israel that Hamas was in Beastly Boy May 2021 #9

He doesn't indicate that Israel provided any evidence. If they had, the Secretary of State pnwmom May 2021 #11

How would you interpret "But he said that he personally has "not seen any information provided."? Beastly Boy May 2021 #15

That sentence is not as clear as you seem to think. pnwmom May 2021 #36

I do think it's very clear. Beastly Boy May 2021 #37

You're missing that tiny but significant word. pnwmom May 2021 #38

There is another very insignificant word. Beastly Boy May 2021 #40

The "and" is part of the clause that BEGINS with "if." "If" modifies the whole clause, including pnwmom May 2021 #42

You don't know that. former9thward May 2021 #35

What's the evidence that Israel provided any evidence? Mysterian May 2021 #12

You just read an AP report that states information was provided. Beastly Boy May 2021 #16

No, I didn't Mysterian May 2021 #21

"Information provided" doesn't mean information was provided? Beastly Boy May 2021 #28

"had 'not seen any information provided.'" Mysterian May 2021 #31

Ok, you tell me what the whole sentence means. Beastly Boy May 2021 #32

The word "if" is conditional and changes everything. nt pnwmom May 2021 #39

It doesn't say that. The lack of seen evidence isn't proof that evidence exists. pnwmom May 2021 #24

Ok, I think I see what you mean. Beastly Boy May 2021 #29

Closer, but not quite. pnwmom May 2021 #33

You seem to agree in one respect Beastly Boy May 2021 #34

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera is still on air Netanyahu. roamer65 May 2021 #23

Why wouldn't they be on the air? tritsofme May 2021 #30
