U.S. State Department Member Resigns; Accuses U.S. Government of Enabling Genocide in Gaza

Annelle Sheline Stands For Honesty and True Public Service

“….What follows is the text of her resignation letter to the Department of State. It is well worth reading in full.”

Whatever. Annelle Sheline is trying to distract from the real reason she isn't with the State Department any longer. Annelle Sheline was/is pro-Houthi. She was very prominent in getting the Biden administration to remove the Houthi's terrorist designation.

Biden to Lift the Wrongheaded Houthi Terrorist Designation--But What's Next? | Common Dreams

Having reversed the worst of Trump's policies, Biden must now tackle those of the Obama administration.

Now that it is quite apparent that the Houthi are in fact terrorists, and the Biden administration have retreated from their earlier pro-Houthi position, those who pushed that idea are now deciding to seek other opportunities. Apparently Annelle thought it better to author some fiction about her separation from her government position being about something other than moronic support of terrorists in Yemen.

I was not aware of that, but I have no problem taking her statement at face value, either, rather than a cover story.

It is worth keeping in mind that Hamas is currently holding 5 Americans hostage and have been for half a year now. Biden has made very clear the lives of those five Americans are less important than his vote totals in Michigan and Wisconsin where over the weekend a group gathered to chant in unison "Death to America".

What's also interesting is its the death of a few white people in Gaza that has really turned the tides on the narrative with Israel.

I always thought it weird that anti-Semites don't see Jews as being white.

Maybe not being white isn't the insult that you think it is? Besides are Israelis getting carpet bombed and shot at indiscriminately by Israelis in hospitals and at aid stations in Gaza?

My comment was mostly TIC but thanks for verifying how much more tragic it is when a white person dies.

Good! I hope they hit it. And I hope they hit it again just to be sure. I do not think Iran becoming a nuclear power is a good thing for anyone. If Israel is willing to do the dirty work required to set their timetable back then I wish them Godspeed.
