US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is 15 minutes into his speech reviewing the Biden administration’s Mideast policy at the Atlantic Council and he has already three times been interrupted by anti-Israel protesters who accuse him of facilitating genocide.

“You will forever be known as Bloody Blinken,” the first protester shouts.

“You’re a brutal war criminal,” screeches the second protester five minutes later.
