It is not a war crime to lie, provide diplomatic cover, or otherwise support someone who commits war crimes. Even if it is immoral.

By the same token, it is not a war crime to support Hamas (financially, diplomatically, or otherwise) even though Hamas too is accused of war crimes.

I totally disagree on the morals. And I feel smug in my moral superiority, sorry.

The second point I would have words about too

You can certainly make a case that Blinken is immoral. But he's not a war criminal by any definition.

I have my opinion, and many courts around the world would agree

Hi. The guy your talking to is the great understander of law who strangely enough doesn't know the law when it goes against his fee fees. Aka he is lying to you.

Only one court has international jurisdiction over war crimes, and they don't agree with your opinion.
