It's The Young Turks but FYI, Ana Kasperian had a change of heart when Trump was re-elected and came in from the cold. BLUF: Jew-hating “Israel expert” left over from the Biden team sent back to his unit by new management when they noticed he was spewing all over the internet — and breaking OpSec rules. One wonders how many more like him need to be flushed out… Ms Kasperian, a real Israel-hater with fake blond hair and a pretty face mixes truth and lies with alacrity. Wikipedia defines the Young Turks brand as Progressive/populist left, which makes sense, given that one of Ms Kasperian’s side hustles is as a co-host on YouTube’s Jacobin channel.
Colonel Nathan McCormack was removed after anti-Israel posts on his social media accounts were unearthed. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.
"Colonel Nathan McCormack, who was tasked with helping advise the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Israel-related matters, has been removed from his position after his anti-Israel social media posts were brought to light.
McCormack, who was the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, according to his LinkedIn, posted several controversial tweets on his X account. He called Israel a “death cult” and referred to the Israeli government as “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies,” among other things, Jewish News Syndicate reported."
A Joint Staff official told The Daily Wire that the Department of Defense said McCormack was removed from his position with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and that the matter is being handed over to the U.S. Army for further action.
So he’s not being fired, as such, merely sent back to his unit in disgrace.
The J5 directorate of the Joint Chiefs of Staff advises the chairman of the Joint Chiefs on military strategy, planning, and policy across a wide range of national security issues. McCormack’s role tasked him with preparing senior leadership to speak with partner nations —including Israel.
McCormack made the posts on an X account where he calls himself “Nate,” but has posted several times about his job and even shared a photo of his Meritorious Service Medal certificate.
Since assuming his position — which his LinkedIn says he began in June 2024 — McCormack has posted numerous times about his views on the Jewish state, especially after Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians.
McCormack has also disclosed details about his official duties on the account, claiming in August 2024 that “we” warned Israel it would be “fuxked” if it escalated into an offensive against Lebanon. Despite the warning, Israel launched an invasion two months later and decimated the terrorist group Hezbollah. He also shared information about his conversations and briefings with Israeli Defense Forces officers.
McCormack’s account also shared information about his movements and work trips being canceled, according to JNS.
The Department of Defense has strict social media guidelines, including telling service members to “avoid use of Department of Defense titles, insignia, uniforms or symbols in a way that could imply DoD sanction or endorsement of content on your personal page.”

Mind you - since he was the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, I wouldn't mind a look at his bank accounts.
🚨 UPDATE: it’s now been confirmed that the boy in this photo has a serious medical disorder. CNN called it a degenerative muscle disease, while investigative journalist David Collier said it was “cerebral palsy, hypoxemia, and was born with a serious genetic disorder.” Though…
We believe this child is suffering from a medical condition, though it hasn’t been confirmed. What we do know is this: the version published in the media cropped out his healthy older brother, who appears in other shots from the same photo shoot. pic.twitter.com/evCz94GFoo
