A State Department official working on human rights issues in the Middle East resigned Wednesday in protest of U.S. support for Israel's assault on Gaza. Annelle Sheline, who worked as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, was not planning on publicly resigning, but her colleagues asked her to "please speak out" against the Biden administration's unconditional support for Israel. "At the end of the day, many people inside [the State Department] know that this is a horrific policy, and can't believe that the United States government is engaged in such actions that contravene American values so directly, but the leadership is not listening," says Sheline. "I'm trying to speak on behalf of those many, many people who feel so betrayed by our government's stance." Sheline describes being moved by the words of Aaron Bushnell, the active-duty U.S. airman who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in protest of the war on Gaza, who implored everyone to take a stand against genocide. "I have a young daughter, and I thought about, in the future, if she were to ask me, 'What were you doing when this was happening? You were at the State Department.' I want to be able to tell her that I didn't stay silent."

I just filled out a wrong number on my Tax form. Like many others on TikTok I'm not paying for this. What are they going to do? I'd like to see the government dragging all of us to court for not paying for a genocide. They don't tax the rich and the homeless, middle class is paying for this genocide. Boycott the government. Money is the best way to protest.

Why it matters: The new findings come as Israel prepares for a controversial ground invasion of Rafah. Tensions have grown between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the humanitarian toll of Israel's war has mounted. Driving the news: 55% of Americans disapprove of Israel's military response in Gaza, a 10-percentage point increase since November, according to the new poll. About one in three (36%) of Americans approve of Israel's military actions in Gaza, according to the new poll. That's down from the aftermath of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, when a November poll found that half of Americans approved of Israel's actions." - Axios March 27th 2024

Ms, Sheline is NOT a "state department official." She is abusing her former position as an "employee" working on a fellowship at the State Department on democracy issues and writing about Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. She had a political agenda way before this war. She is NOT privy to the details of what is happening in Gaza. Israel remains a just army that adheres to international law and has gone above and beyond to help a population of whom 80% support Hamas and Israel's destruction. She is just another mouthpiece for the leftist anti-Israel camp. Hamas started this war in the most disgusting and brutal way and breaks every possible international law of warfare killing its own citizens in the process. THIS IS OPINION NOT TRUTH. We can have different opinions but FACTS matter.

That is, perhaps, just one belief. The other is the possibility that many people do not agree with the mass destruction of an ethnic group of unarmed civililians. I, myself, wonder how a people who experienced a genocide, could commit such atrocities and try to justify by calling your critiques antisemites and silencing their voices by using the American justice system ? I have yet to hear Israel even consider what the world court and the UN have found to evidence of war crimes. Israel has long past used the “right to defend itself” when most of the damage is the killing of civilians

Ms, Sheline is NOT a "state department official." She is not a hero. She is abusing her former position as an "employee" working on a fellowship at the State Department on democracy issues and writing about Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. She had a political agenda way before this war. She is NOT privy to the details of what is happening in Gaza. Israel remains a just army that adheres to international law and has gone above and beyond to help a population of whom 80% support Hamas and Israel's destruction. She is just another mouthpiece for the leftist anti-Israel camp. Hamas started this war in the most disgusting and brutal way and breaks every possible international law of warfare killing its own citizens in the process. THIS IS OPINION NOT TRUTH. We can have different opinions but FACTS matter.

I don't know, I think 'hero' is a little strong. If it took this much of an extreme in America's foreign policy brutality, either committing it directly or more oftentimes enabling it with their backing and support, for this state dept. employee to finally act on her conscience and not merely the imperatives of her employment.... I don't know how you'd characterize that, but 'hero' seems excessive to me. I suppose better late than never. Furthermore, there's something about her reasoning, seemingly shared with candor, like how she didn't want to be humiliated in front of her daughter given how bad this all this looks, and that effectively is the real motivation for her action.... that makes her resignation even less compelling. Like she's getting out before it gets any worse. Cynical perhaps, but maybe nevertheless true....

In these refugee camps where hell has settled, The blood in which the bodies of the kids bathe, shed by the executioner who acts without soul and without glory, does not reach the hearts of the powerful delighted with their gains. My pain is immense, yet I temper my hatred, I am too afraid of losing my only good, my humanity, to resemble the unscrupulous monsters unleashed, chained by their demons in the whirlwind of horror, and delighting in having deprived of life all these little victims.
