State Department Official Resigns, Says Israel Is Using U.S. Arms to Massacre Civilians in Gaza

- We speak with Josh Paul, a former State Department official who resigned last month to protest continued arms sales to Israel amid its bombardment of Gaza, writing in a viral letter that one-sided U.S. support for Israel is “shortsighted,” “destructive” and “contradictory.” Media reports say many others inside the State Department are equally frustrated with the U.S. role in the conflict. Paul tells Democracy Now! he tried to raise his concerns with his superiors but found “no appetite for that discussion” and that unlike all other U.S. arms sales that take humanitarian concerns into account, Israel gets a blank check. Paul says the overall message inside the Biden administration is: “Don’t question the policy because it’s coming from the top.”

This is exactly why I quit the U.S. military. Nobody wants to question the civilian leadership and their terrible questionable judgment. This same civilian leadership full of career politicians sent me and my generation into Iraq and Afghanistan for 20 years all to replace the Taliban with… the Taliban, now with U.S. weaponry.
and USA is the reason the Taliban became the rulers of Afghanistan in 1979 all because the USSR was helping the government of Afghanistan defend themselves from terrorists.
Rah same here
True, sorry you had to experience that. My step dad did a few tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and was honorably discharged because of a wound he sustained from a Afghan women trying to protect her children when he and his unit were patrolling and clearing houses. He sees this disgusting empire for what it is now and it seems like you do as well
The only ones who can’t see the truth are those you blindly watch cnn and mainstream media while drooling and not doing any research if their own, and then they parrot propaganda
and lets look how US has treated Vets in the past 20 years...not with the same kindne$$ as they have to Israel
Josh, you are 100 % right in your comments. I'm just an ordinary 78 year old American Vietnam Vet who don't understand why people don't get it. America is wrong in their actions. It's a shame.
Respect to you for speaking up. At 78, you've seen much and gained much wisdom. Please continue to use your voice to change hearts.
Cancel him, close his bank account, dig up rape charges on this man! Ban him from all forms of social media!
America seems to be making the same wrong decisions over time.
The "unsinkable battleship" hypothesis ?
USA provides arms and weapon for Jews to GENOCIDE Palestinians, now that is America, this is how you make money in military industry in USA, meanwhile all black lives matter dumbs pay for it in taxes, yet nobody is keen to burn down White House or Congress. Americans are jewish BIG CAPITAL SLAVES
It's actually people like him who should be in positions of authority.
I fully agree with you, and I second that without a doubt.
Haha, he was a nobody!
Well done Josh Paul , you are someone with a conscience 💚Thank you for speaking out.We are all in this together as human beings . Stop the War
This Josh Paul has my respect, he's more American than most of these fear mongering clowns in the media and in congress. Free Palestine!
😂
To be not gutless, then the genocide has to be carried, as history has proven none other methods worked, study why the Arabs didn’t wanting to adopting any more Palestinians refugees, the history has taught us well.
The Hamas ordered a genocide, so it’s the west and the Arabs that’s gutless to carry out the genocide.
Terrorism is a fighting method for the poor, something has to do communism, this is why communism has allies that is pro war or using terrorism as warfare strategy. If not allies, then the terrorists are they fire arm trading buddies (clients of buying firearms from North Korea, etc … …).
This palestine-israel conflict only shows us the stupid people among us. Every educated people should be on Israel's side. And even if you are not on Israel's side, it doesn't matter. Israel has by law every right to fck up palestinians at this point, after what they have done. Meaning invading gaza strip / palestine completely. Hamas is hiding in civilian areas, carrying out military operations, instead of trying to move the war to non-residental areas. So therefore, Israel has a legal right to consider these civilian/residental areas as a military target. Even if there are civilians. These casualtias are the responsibility of the defender.
- Article 28 of the 1949 Geneva Convention IV provides: “The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.”
- Pursuant to Article 8(2) of the 1998 ICC Statute, “Utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.
Hamas is breaking this rule constantly, their military plan basically completely depends on this. Using civilians as a shield, then blaming Israel for causing the casualties that are literally the fault of Hamas.
Also, palestinians are not innocent. They have elected Hamas into the power (in 2006 If i remember it right), and at least I haven't seen any proof of palestinian people demonstrating against the actions of Hamas (the terrorist organisation). Therefore, we can CLEARLY conclude that their actions are at least to some extent accepted by palestinians (and there is a lot of other evidence behind this as well.)
Israel is the country being attacked by terrorists (Hamas, palestinians), Israel's attack on Gaza and West Bank is defense operation, not offensive operation. Hamas in the other hand is carrying OFFENSIVE operations, not defensive operations. So, any demonstrations condemning Israel are completely pointless, they will change nothing. They have every right to defend their country, and rights. And they will do so, no matter what anyone thinks.
And anyways, it doesn't matter what you all idiots think about the conflict. Israel will now move on to invading and probably annexing palestine, and therefore most likely eternally ending their chance for independence. They already have had way too many chances for that, but continuously shown no respect for efforts regarding it (two state solution, for example). And their political actions also are really offensive, and breaks many international laws.
Palestine indeed will be freed for good :) As they soon won't exist at all ahaha

It’s not hate, even most of the 8 year-old could do it, war is nature, it’s like cartoon, only the pathetic cried with tears, such as Putin !

The Arabs couldn’t do it themselves, failed to take any Palestinians refugees, so since they would lose in that part, then they had rather playing blame wars on the west , it’s called ALL OR NOTHING, it’s national security, it’s selfish, ugly, nothing of hate, it’s human nature to be ugly.
But apparently Josh Paul didn't mind when America killed 200k Iraqi civilians during the Iraq debacle.
that's a courageous person: no job, no health insurance and maybe a family to support, yet knowing all that, he resigned. there still are some decent human beings.
Thanks to those standing up against this massacre, thank you Josh Paul
Healthcare, nooo, help the homeless, nooo, weapons for slaughtering children, yaay, America's shame.
Absolutely shameful.
the irony, the country known for fighting for freedom, is now supporting a country taking all the freedoms of another people's. And not just taking it, taking it permanently. I'm appalled...
Britian and the US have been turning a blind eye to zionist atrocities and war crimes for 75 years.
Yup. Never any $ available for our needs as Americans. We can't even build roads etc anymore.. Can't we get our people taken care of? There's no plans or anything by any politician on these issues.
Was u ok with the support of Ukraine ? Just wondering. I’m no expert on any war r what’s happening in Isreal but I’m willing to learn
Fully respect Mr. Josh Paul’s brave righteous decision of resignation.
He is a traitor! This thing about having some sort of Humanity! There is no humanity in war . People will die that is the harsh reality. This will escalate!

This is a nice way to describe it but US governments are directly implicated in all crimes that Israel did and still doing! Weapons, financial support 4 billion a year, always vote for Israel interest in the UN no matter what… and so on so on
Absolutely what is wrong with this idiotic administration. Have they been drinking the kool aide meant for us.

Dear Josh Paul:
You just solidified your position in history as a real man. You are not just a real man -- YOU ARE A GREAT MAN!
I love you, Mr. Paul. Keep up the great work and may God bless you and your family.

I actually almost lost hope in humanity but people like him make me have a little bit of faith in humans.
THANKS TO AMERICANS CIVILIANS AND HONEST ARMY WHO STAND AND SUPPORT TO HUMANITY AND JUSTICE
Empires die from within. Immorality, cowardice, violence and corruption do not come from outside enemies, they quietly appear within the fading empire and manifest themselves in what we are seeing, horrific death of innocents and fake rationales for it. Thank you Mr. Paul for speaking with honesty and clarity.
So beautifully stated and true!
You, nailed 👏 down that, thanks 😊
You’re aware that Israel lacks an “empire”, no? In fact, most of the world seems to hate Israel and Jews.
This guy has more integrity than any current US or UK politician
he weights 190ibs but, his ballz are 150ibs. Brave man
Makes sense, since he is not a politician.
People like him need to represent us. But we tend to vote for the ones that promise candy
total distortion of what is actually happening today in Israel and Gaza. Sad
When a literal weapons dealer has the moral high ground...
It's good you have seen the truth as it is said and the whole world will judge 💯🙏🙏🙏🙏💯🙏
“Human rights implications”, OMG!?!? Who do they refuse to supply arms to? (Except Russia & Iran directly!)
How the hell you defend a Genocide
My head hurts listening to the cretinous warmongering nonsense that many are proud to spout
I’d wager by calling it self defense
This is a war between Goliath and and a midget. It never had to come to this if the Zionists had shared Palestine with its inhabitants instead of making them prisoners in their homeland for 70 some years.
Exactly.....I'm sick of these hypocrites,👿
Abs ppl always wonder how it happened in Europe. A mirror would help.

I agree 💯% about everything you said, my American wife of 30 years was sick and a lot of pressure was put on me because my finances got screwed up w/ high cost tax system and was advised to send my wife to nursing home which they didn't do their job and are hall of shame , government system didn't want to pay more for treatment and signed her to hospis to give her 3 or 4 times morphine to avoid extra cost . Our nursing home are a mess, government doesn't care for our elderly, homeless situation, or other important things but can tax us to death to pay Israel for genocide .
My wife passed away 3 weeks ago and I am grieving and mourning badly, I can't get her out of my mind .

Thank you Mr. Josh Paul for speaking up. It's chilling that the Biden Administration wants to do this in secrecy. They aren't wrong in thinking that this will affect how I vote.
It won't matter who you vote for. They all support Israel and their American counterparts who donate millions to their campaigns. Republicans in congress just passed a bill to fund Israel 14+ billion for Israel's "war effort". Yet they are fighting about giving Ukraine who is fighting the Russians a penny!
Democrats really blew it with this unqualified support of Israel....as always ... especially right now in the midst of their ethnic cleansing campaign. As a lifelong Democratic voter I'm seriously thinking about sitting all future elections out completely. It goes against every fiber of my being but I don't know what else to do anymore. You really blew it for the entire Democratic party Biden, Blinkin and crew. I'm sure the Republicans appreciate you now more than ever, though. 😂😂😂😂👍
Your entire government is doing this. We so blind actually thinking there is a better side. The side is America and America is a genocide inducing, war mongering, child killing industrial machine. We are comfortable here because of what’s happening there. We get paid to do evil. So if you think Trump wouldn’t be sending money, he doesn’t get to decide honestly. Now he has more balls than Biden and may have put up a fight but not because he cares about genocide.
It don’t matter how you vote. Jewish lobbies have a chokehold on congress.
Thank you 🙏

Why is it that Israel has the "Right" to defend itself but the Palestinians don't have the same Right to defend themselves?!... Hypocrisy is an embarrassment to a Country who barks about Human Rights...
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
It’s pretty simple, really. The Israelis have money to buy American weapons, the Palestinians don’t.
They are too brown, thats why.
I wish somebody would ask Israel just how far this right to self defense extends. For example, are they entitled to pump the tunnels in Gaza City full of nerve gas, which would undoubtedly kill thousands of civilians? I saw a psychopathic youtube comment seriously suggest this. Does Israel have the right to use nuclear weapons? Does it have the right to force Egypt, which is in a multi-year financial crisis, to accept 2 million refugees? Does Israel have the right to indefinitely hold without charge the 10,000 Gazans who committed the crime of being in Israel for work Oct 7? What happens to the Palestinians in the West Bank?
As a brother myself, I think black people need to be on guard. They’re going to try this shit on us next.

Excuse me , ISRAEL STOLE PALESTINE LAND after UK handed it to them in 1917 by the Balfour declaration. Once they declared independency in 1948 ILLEGALY they displaced 1 million Palestinians, imagine eruopean jews creating settlements and kicking the true people out, these innocent peaceful people let these modern day Nazis in and now they are being oppressed.

Nice to know that there are still some people out there with integrity and a sense of humanity.
Palestinians are known for supporting terrorists. The Palestinian liberation Operation (PLO) is known for supporting Sadam Hussein, etc. Remember the terrorist group Munich massacre that killed the Israeli Olympic athletes while they were at the Olympics done by BLACK SEPTEMBER? BLACK SEPTEMBER also tried to assassinate Jordan's king? That explains why Muslim countries such as Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon - won't accept them. These countries know first hand that letting in a small population of these refugees would plunge their countries into chaos. It also means it isn't just about Israel... They will attack anybody ...

6:3 understand about not wanting to vote for him. If there us a viable democratic alternative, I'll vote for him or her. But I won't vote for Trump or stay home. A trump oresidency would be 10x worse
Republicans are eager to support. Wake up
Both parties are the same vote independent
May the US have more men like Josh Paul who stands up for the moral righteous in the events the US is meddling in and not taking advantage for material gains and profits.
300billion US taxpayer dollars to Israel so far and FOR WHAT? What have they done for you????
You need people like him in the white house
🤦♂️
When injustice become a Law . Resistance becomes a Duty/ Thomas Jefferson
Yeah i hesitate to idolize the supposed “forefathers” or buy into their rhetoric. Largely because it was mostly lip service and didn’t actually play out like that, with the extermination of native Americans, slavery, poor white indentured servants. What they really meant was for wealthy white men who own private property. Just like them
Josh Paul has shown integrity by taking the right decision
Mr. You deserve our respect❤
I am from the third world country and I am sad that these powerful countries used their position to destroy the humanity.. I don’t understand how these people lose their morals and values.. We may not have enough food on our table but I am proud that our morals and values as a human being is still intact.. so Please stop this war… Palestinians has the right to live in peace..
thats absolutely right ,,,
Are you saying that to Hamas as well?
Thank you Amy for bringing this news to the world.
1st rule of fight club, your not allowed to talk about Jews! 😂
I always said, "If you don't like your job, quit !!
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!! NEVER IGNORE HUMANITY!❤❤❤
Sociopaths don't have feelings or morality you are elected when they are sure you are a Sociopath I didn't see a leader go to jail for the crimes they did all over the world. we are 8 billion they are Lees then 10 000 people who are in position and running the world
The Israeli see infants as Hamas combants🤔🙄
Too late.
Good on him - respect to Josh - a sane brain among the salivating warmongers in Washington and on Legacy News Media
@@petek7951America is responsible for millions of civilian deaths across the globe, does that justify a genocide of the American people? Of course not.
Additionally hamas was voted in in the early 2000s while half of gazas current population are children. Civilians are innocent.
@@petek7951No zAmetica is a terrorist country due to his dollar n arms. See how many persons he killed in irak children women more than 100 thousand what they did I Afghsngan in zzSyria in Libya in Vietnam due by his force .
Yes the Palestinian people can be blamed for voting for Hamas... and Israelis can be blamed for voting in corrupt Net... War usually is a great deflector for a leader who's losing public support... even Israeli's seem to have had enough of Net... Palestinians vote out Hamas and Israelis vote out Net... there's a start to a peace process right there
Thank you Josh Paul.
Thank you Amy✨
It's our duty as American citizens to question every policy coming from our President and his administration... period
Except when it's Trump everything is perfect?
Very true. Kind of a shame you voted for Biden, huh?
@@4leks11is this the new argument now from Biden voters? Lol
ESPECIALLY, the "DemonRats" !😢
@@4leks11Leftist's should feel blessed that Trump occupies their minds helping to fill the void. Though there is still the problem of the echo chamber created by the emptiness within.
" We cannot be both against occupation, and for it. We cannot be both for freedom, and against it. And we cannot be for a better world, while contributing to one that is materially worse.” --- Josh Paul, the State Department official who recently resigned in protest of US arms transfers to Israel.
But the two cousins stick together. There can be no fa irness....its an eye for an eye...
This guy is clearly a good man. It seems there are many fewer good men occupying the positions of power in Government.
Legend
Their position assumes that if Palestine is free, they will not try to attack Israel.
The Indians all ways said the white man spoke with "Forked Tongue"
What he forgot to mention was that Hamas is promising to do it again and again!! So if you give in to them where does Israel stand?!
He's going to be making a lot of money from his future book deals. 😂

So Hamas?
@@aycc-nbh7289 you're criticizing hamas right now, look through the comments and find a single mention of the COUNTRY killing civilians, meaning a government not a terrorist organization
@@hiroshima19 So Hamas? They have the majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament, with Fatah essentially operating as a government in exile in the West Bank. I don’t need to search through the comments to know about this.
@@aycc-nbh7289 ok golem, you're a good little pet
"If we had universal healthcare it would make it a bit easier for people to stand up on principle" ... Wow, this statement has struck me; our freedom of speech, our moral principles and our consciences, taken hostages by such a smart trick...
sad..
yea the top goverment just want to maintain the power to the capitalist status quo
Take a look at the UK's NHS before you opt for UHC .
you dont have a real government. no wonder nhs dont work in neoliberal/con countries. its rotten from the start.@@brikfiend
Josh Paul
Morals , dignity , humanity,RESPECT
looks how happy netanyahu for his brother blinken visit
Thank you Paul for standing up what you believe in!!
I don't know HOW he can "talk" about this though. That raises some interesting questions. I hope there's no backlash against him for doing so.
@@Philosophyrightnowthere already is 😢
October the 7 th was a War Crime of Hamas-ISIS against Thailand,Germany,U.K., U .S.A. ,India, France ( in fact, against many other countries of people working in Israel too ( not just the Israeli Citizens ). 4:52
I wish there was more people in the US government that had a conscious like josh Paul.
Thank you for condolence with the people of Gaza. Innocent people of Gaza are being killed every day by Israeli army and US supporting them.
Tell Biden to cut spending
Like peppermint Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell and Adam Smith. Thank you Pramilla.
