State Dept. Official's Resignation Letter SLAMS U.S. Shipment Of Weapons To Israel

Josh Paul of the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, wrote in his resignation letter that he believes the U.S. is contributing to more harm than good in its support for Israel. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

"A U.S. State Department official announced his resignation Wednesday over the Biden administration's decision to send more arms to Israel as it carries out a massive assault on the occupied Gaza Strip, killing more than 3,400 people, decimating the enclave's civilian infrastructure, and strangling the population with an unlawful blockade.

"I cannot work in support of a set of major policy decisions, including rushing more arms to one side of the conflict, that I believe to be shortsighted, destructive, unjust, and contradictory to the very values that we publicly espouse, and which I wholeheartedly endorse: a world built around a rules-based order, a world that advances both equality and equity, and a world whose arc of history bends towards the promise of liberty, and of justice, for all," Josh Paul, who spent 11 years as director of congressional and public affairs for the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, wrote in his resignation letter."
