18. He said he hasn't seen the evidence provided.

A clear indication that evidence was provided. It was outside of his eyesight. Again, there is a million reasons for this happening, and very few of them would point to absence of evidence. You are assuming the improbable to be the only possible outcome.

You might as well argue that if he keeps his eyes closed while looking at the evidence, the evidence does not exist. I mean, he doesn't see it, right?

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

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
