“U.S.-provided arms should not be used to massacre civilians, should not be used to result in massive civilian casualties. And that is what we are seeing in #Gaza …. Vice President #KamalaHarris was just saying yesterday that we will not place any conditions whatsoever on our arms to #Israel. And that is unlike any arms transfer decision I’ve ever been a part of” #Khive #Biden #war #Palestine #humanrights #genocide #apartheid https://www.democracynow.org/2023/11/3/josh_paul_resigns_israel_gaza

  State Department Official Resigns, Says Israel Is Using U.S. Arms for Massacre
  
  We speak with Josh Paul, a former State Department official who resigned last month to protest continued arms sales to Israel amid its bombardment of Gaza, writing in a viral letter that one-sided U.S. support for Israel is “shortsighted,” “destructive” and “contradictory.” Media reports say many others inside the State Department are equally frustrated with the U.S. role in the conflict. Paul tells Democracy Now! he tried to raise his concerns with his superiors but found “no appetite for that discussion” and that unlike all other U.S. arms sales that take humanitarian concerns into account, Israel gets a blank check. Paul says the overall message inside the Biden administration is: “Don’t question the policy because it’s coming from the top.”
