Biden policy on Israel-Gaza sparks warnings, dissent, resignations - 60 Minutes



U.S. policy on Gaza has led to widespread dissent at the State Department, with some questioning how far Washington is going in its support of Israel.

Thirteen officials, including from the State Department, White House and Army, have publicly resigned in protest. Many believe U.S. policy on Gaza runs counter to American values and threatens national security.

Josh Paul, who was one of the officials in charge of signing off on major weapons deals to U.S. allies, resigned just 10 days after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, which spurred a war that's likely claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people in Gaza, according to a study published late this past week in the medical journal the Lancet.

Hamas deafening. Completely ignored the continued missiles launched from Hezbollah and Gaza even before Israel retaliated.

Me thinks someone has a Jewish problem in the guise of Josh Paul.

Where was this f@@ker after 9/11 when bush attacked Iraq which resulted in the deaths of a million people, and where Iraq actually had nothing to do with 9/11, while the elected representatives of Gaza, Hamas did Oct. 7.

This selective criticism is noted.

F@@k him, and f@@k 60 minutes who can’t resist to give a final shot against Biden.

It will be interesting if they are just as critical against the sociopath when he takes over the WH. Somehow I don’t think so.
