Veteran State Department official Josh Paul QUITS agency after Biden backs America sending military assistance to Israel amid war with Hamas
2023-10-19
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Josh Paul, who worked in the State's bureau overseeing arms transfers for more than a decade, resigned over Biden's 'continued lethal assistance to Israel'

  • His resignation came after President Joe Biden's visit to Israel, during which he pledged a substantial $100 billion aid package in support of Israel and Ukraine

  • He argued the blind support for one side in the conflict would harm the interests of both parties and cited a history of repeating mistakes in this regard

  • He emphasized he believed the recent terrorist attack in Israel, which claimed the lives of over 1,400 innocent people, was a heinous act

#4  I have yet to see why Israel needs our military 'assistance'. What Israel needs is everybody to get out of their way while they deal with it. That way, they own the outcome.
Biden wants to be seen 'doing something', and then railroad the support into his Ukrainian piggybank.

#3  He argued the blind support for one side in the conflict would harm the interests of both parties and cited a history of repeating mistakes in this regard

Russian translation
Он заявил, что слепая поддержка одной стороны в конфликте нанесет ущерб интересам обеих сторон, и привел историю повторения ошибок в этом отношении.

#2  I think the reason to reinforce Israel is so to prevent Hezbollah from even thinking that Israel doesn't have enough conventional weapons to destroy them. It isn't to use, hopefully their presence is enough.

#1  Remember when people came to America, blended in and assimilated, became American Citizens and brushed off the old country problems and loyalties?

Now it seems lately too many are just moving here to America to build enclaves in US Metro's, to expand their cultures. In someways it seems the LSD's and Fed's are congregating them in these LSD run Metro's to help their mission.
