“I voiced concern repeatedly, I was silenced”: ex US diplomat on Gaza | UpFront


Can dissent within the US government have an impact? UpFront talks to a recent State Department resignee, Hala Rharrit.

This week, Israel took hold of the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza, a move that has stoked fears of further death and devastation in the territory. US President Joe Biden had previously warned Israeli Prime Minister…

  1. Hahaha, just another typical Marxist/Islamist/elitist/anti-Semitic/anti-American scumbag state dept employee, the rest need to be fumigated out of our govt …. She wasn’t a “diplomat”, she was just a spokes-idiot flunkie, a nobody!

  2. I work for the USDA and even I have contemplated leaving this job. On Jewish Heritage month we got a usda email that referenced Israeli websites and ADL website. I feel sick.

  3. speaking half truths is cowardice
    dont get me wrong, i support her decision to leave the administration
    but this kind of rhetoric is still pro US
    you need to be bold if you already left
    there is no "million dollar question". It is clear administration is under influence of AIPAC
    or is she bound to NDA?

  4. The administrative state used to separate citizens from their money and freedoms. This country is sick and sadistic to its own people via street thugs (cops).

  5. Wow I never knew that the IDF warns civilians before they bomb them, and hammas actually doesn’t evacuate with the civilians, because they were all… warned.

    That might be the dumbest argument I’ve heard thus far.

  6. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison of having an entry for the Palestinian people versus an entry for the state of Israel. That isn't how Eurovision works. There are no entries for the Basque or Waloon peoples. And, no, Hamas isn't automatically the representative of the Palestinians. The host clearly forgot about the Palestinian Authority.

  7. The cause of this failure of ethics & policy is Christian Zionism, for which all of Christianity is complicit. As the 18th century philosopher Voltaire once said "those who believe in absurdities can be led to participate in atrocities!"
    I urge all who identify as Christians to denounce your Christianity, to save your humanity.

  8. We keep watching these spokesppl talk with the oir jaws on the floor because i cant believe what we have been hearing from govt officials and defenders of isr. Its like watching a car crash in slow motion and the driver just walking off the accident lioe nothing happened and they kust leave the car there in the pile up of other cars involved in the crash, its unbelievable.
