    American Army officer Maj. Harrison Mann has resigned in protest over the United States’ support for Israel, which he said had "enabled and empowered" the killing of Palestinian civilians.

    "While assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency, I was enabling policies that violated my conscience," said Maj. Harrison Mann.

    The officer, Maj. Harrison Mann, announced his resignation and explained his reasons for leaving the service in a post on the social media site LinkedIn on Monday. According to his biography on the site, he has specialized in the Middle East and Africa for about half of his 13-year career and previously served at the U.S. Embassy in Tunis.

    "The policy that has never been far from my mind for the past six months is the nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel, which has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians," wrote Major Mann in the post, which noted that he had previously emailed his comments to co-workers on April 16. "This unconditional support also encourages reckless escalation that risks wider war."

    "I told myself my individual contribution was minimal, and that if I didn’t do my job, someone else would, so why cause a stir for nothing?" he wrote. "At some point — whatever the justification — you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not."

    That pic is certainly Israelis. But do you they, or Hamas are stopping more aid getting through? I mean the UN said last week that one of the problems was that the Palestinians didn’t have enough money to buy the aid. The free aid.  


    Thank you for being on this thread man.

     

    You provide an excellent demonstration of Zionist principles.
     

    We couldn’t have asked for a better representative.

     

    Keep it up.

    How all they had left was a refusal to accept their defeat and to tilt against the powerful – without allies, at huge risk and without a plan. As long as that happened, Palestine still existed, a place kept alive through the assertion that its people were still here, still claiming their right to their identity, still free simply as a result of never abandoning that claim.

    Crushing these spaces – and the causes they represent – is most effectively done not by brute force, but in portraying the participants as villains. Hence the image of such people as Putin-backed, pro-Hamas, or led by professional infiltrators. The harder it is to discredit the earnestness and necessity of Palestinian solidarity, the wilder such allegations become.

  4. Former French PM Dominique de Villepin:

     

    "We are today, not only in a humanitarian impasse, but we are in a political deadlock.

    Let me just clarify why there is a political deadlock. The political process that the Americans want to initiate... Blinken, we must measure the humiliation made to the Americans, has gone 7 times to this region. And Bill Burns today... All American authorities, President Biden, are mobilized for this. What do they want? They want to establish a special relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia, a normalization of relations by providing a guarantee, a guarantee pact to Saudi Arabia that would justify them taking this step.

    What do the Arab countries want, and from this point of view they are united, we don’t hear much from them, but they are diplomatically united. They want recognition of a Palestinian state and this is something that will last.

    What does Israel want? Israel, and this is where there is a hidden agenda and this is what is not acceptable, is that the reality of the policy led by Israel and the will of Israel, it is in no way to engage in a peace process. A large part of the fighting that is engaged is done to mask the fact that Israel, at least Benjamin Netanyahu, in no way wants negotiation. And why? Because they want to continue in the path of colonization and continue in the path of creeping annexation of the West Bank...

    What do the Arab countries propose today? They have proposals regarding the day after, because this is an essential element of the negotiation and this is where Israel is bogged down for a long time in this affair, because it’s one thing to want to destroy Hamas, it’s another thing to manage the territory afterwards. The Arab countries propose that there be a UN international peace force installed on the ground and that can manage, in connection with the Palestinian Authority, the situation. The Americans, they would like it to be an Arab and American force. We clearly see that no one is on the same wavelength and that we are headed for a drama that lasts.

    I would also like us to ask ourselves another question, since you asked me to put myself in the place of the Israelis, let's now put ourselves in the place of the global public opinion. What is going to happen? The day, I hope as soon as possible, when the gates of Gaza will open. The day this open-air prison, bombarded for 7 months, will reveal its secrets. What will we see, what will we find? Will all this be bearable? The price Israel pays today is its isolation and this too will last. We saw it at the UN with the vote, the decision of the General Assembly, 143 countries out of 193!"

    I can't believe that's the caliber of Foreign and Prime Minister (he's been both) we used to have in France and we now have Gabriel Attal and Stéphane Séjourné...

    There is no scenario where there is a validity to Hamas ‘surrendering’ to a UN peacekeeping force. You’ve just made it up to distract from the reality of the situation.

     

    That’s exactly what he wants. Distraction.


    Old Zionist tactics that nobody falls for any more.

    Wrong. They haven’t got a clue apart from their own echo chamber. 
     

    Oh and don’t post David Icke shite if you’re trying to make an argument you clown ( and yes you know full well who he is TK) 


    Ok boss. 

  7. Just now, Captain Willard said:

    We seem to have 3 separate parralell arguments as to why an unconditional Hanad surrender to the UN is a bad idea for saving civilian lives becuase ?

     

    The  Israelis will kill millions of Palestinians anyway 

    or

     some bloke in 1970 said something inspirational 

    or

    David Icke said the Israelis planned this all along - see also 1 

     

    Have I got this right ? 

     

     


    You understand very well. You just pretend you don’t.

    Happy?

    Sorry but I have a rule not to engage with posters who just post abuse. I had to take you off ignore to post this. I’m happy to discuss stuff with anyone but once it gets abusive I just put them back on ignore.  


    How cute.

    Well, if Israel set up, funded and effectively controls Hamas, as previously claimed, a blind eye wouldn't come in to it. They would set the strategy, otherwise why bother?

     

    My simplistic brain still just doesn't understand


    They didn’t set it up. And they don’t control it.

     

    They facilitated its funding. And they benefit from its extremism. They’d rather have Hamas to deal with than moderate Palestinians. It helps their genocidal project.

    You’d think that finding yourself on the same side of the argument as someone who quotes David Icke as a source would maybe give you pause for thought but obviously not. Much easier to just resort to abuse. 


    I have no idea who David Icke is. I do see his point though. 
     

    I don’t judge people. I judge thoughts. If Netenyahu comes out tomorrow and says something wise I’d happily quote him.

    So knowing that, i.e Netanyahu or the coalition wants to kill all the Palestinians, it probably wasnt a good idea for Hamas to go on a murdering spree and kill and capture innocent civilians?

     

    Now, however, I understand its said Hamas are a puppet of Israel, funded etc. So Israel told Hamas to go on said murdering spree so that Israel could come after them?

     

    I'm not the brightest, freely admit it, but I dont understand.


    That’s too simplistic.
     

    But yes I wouldn’t be surprised if Netanyahu had known in advance about October 7 and let it be. Do you know that hundreds of Israelis died on October 7 by Israeli fire in what they call the Hanibal directive?

    Please answer my question, what’s a better outcome for the civilian population, unconditional surrender to a UN administration or carrying on the war ?

    Ask yourself honestly, what’s a better outcome for the average Gazan, a continuation of a futile war under the dictatorship of Hamas or an unconditional surrender then being governed by the UN ?


    Good question. It was asked 54 years ago, and answered.
     

    “Maybe to you, but not to us. To us, to liberate our country, to have dignity, to have respect, to have our basic human rights is as essential as life itself.”

     

    Have a listen, starting at 2:00

    You don’t understand anything you see.  This is your specialised subject and you are so poor. 


    I’m very thick actually. Very poor intellectually. The only thing that helps my case here is that I have the truth.
