All is fair in love and war.

Yes Blinken's family needs to be made aware that their father is complicit in mass murder and genocide.

Blinken is old and tired and may have PTSD after he retires from his job. Complicity in genocide has consequences.

Antony Blinken’s Family Is the Latest Target of Washington’s Ugliest Protest Trend Yelling at Antony Blinken’s kids does not help Gazan children. By Michael Schaffer, 02/16/2024 05:00 AM EST Antony Blinken’s children were on their way home, so the protesters knew it was time to uncork the fake blood. The group had been camped outside the Secretary of State’s home near the Potomac for a couple weeks, the latest example in the fraught trend of protests at the homes of Washington officials. By now, they could tell when something was up. The guards in front of the house had perked up; the black Suburban blocking the gate had been rolled out of the way. Someone was coming. But who? At this time of day, it wouldn’t be Blinken himself, or his wife, White House Cabinet Secretary Evan Ryan. That left the other members of the family. One of them is three years old. The other is four. But that was no reason to lay off. “Entire neighborhoods have been bombed to the ground with children missing under rubble,” Hazami Barmada, the encampment’s organizer, told me. “Why are those children forced to understand the brutal, barbaric realities of war, when his children should be sanitized from it?” As the car carrying the kids rolled up, the group took their places. Some shouted: “YOUR FATHER IS A BABY KILLER!” Some waved signs: “WAR CRIMINAL BLOODY BLINKEN LIVES HERE.” Another poster featured a blown-up image of an old Blinken tweet of him and Ryan holding the children as infants. It was annotated with a chilling stat from the Gaza war: “10,000+ fathers have lost their children.” Demonstrators outside the home of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken: Keegan Olario, clockwise from top left, and Dee Loeffler with signs; Dee Loeffler and Atefeh Rokhvand prepare to pour fake blood  in front of vehicles arriving at the home; Haitham Arafat waves a Palestinian flag while Nadine Otego Seiler chants from across the street from the home. Demonstrators protest outside the home of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, waving a Palestinian flag and preparing to pour fake blood in front of vehicles arriving at the home. A few denizens of the encampment hoisted gallon jugs of bright-red liquid and poured the contents out on the street in front of the vehicle, splashing another pop of color onto a roadway that’s been stained repeatedly since the protests began last month. The whole encounter took less than a minute. The automobile continued safely into the driveway. The gate rolled shut. And the 20 or so activists went back to milling about what they’ve come to call Kibbutz Blinken, their collection of tents beneath a Palestinian flag on the shoulder of a busy suburban street. If the tiny passengers in the back seat of the car had any reaction, no one could tell. But the fact that we even have to ponder the merits of strangers yelling at preschoolers is a sign of something troubling in our political culture — something that existed long before the Gaza war. It’s also a commentary on the dubious efficacy of this very of-the-moment variety of direct action. A cathartic thrill for the righteously indignant, showing up at the homes of Washington bigwigs also creates optics that turn demonstrators into bullies and their targets into victims, hardening the hearts of just about everyone in sight.

That doesn’t seem to be stopping anyone. By now, spectacles like the one outside Blinken’s spread on the Virginia side of the Potomac have become common enough that it’s hard to remember when the idea of protesting at a Washington official’s house seemed novel. So much for the old Washington saw that everyone gets to be a civilian after hours: A partial recent list of Beltway VIPs visited at home by protesters would include Senators Josh Hawley, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer; Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito and Amy Coney Barrett; public officials like Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis Dejoy, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin; and then-Fox host Tucker Carlson. ...

Correct.  The US should have stopped blocking UN resolutions on Israel ages ago (long before Hamas was created), implemented the Palestinian State as per UN res 242, and enabled the UNSC to enforce the peace between Israel and the Palestinian State.

And that's what needs to happen now, if Blinken wants to avoid being complicit in genocide (on either side).   

Blinken should be tarred and feathered and hung for his complicity in genocide.
