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 and my wife fully support this courageous woman, who stands up for the recovery of America’s morale and name.
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.
Thank you ❤
Matt Miller support war crimes and should be held accountable , Israel is not above the international laws or we will be living in a jungle called Israel Banana Republic
Where was her protests when Trump abducted 3700 kids at the border...killing 6?Why didnt she object to the carnage that took place after Trumps overnight withdrawal from Syria?And AMERICANS ATTACKING AMERICANS ON JAN 6 took care of Americas "MORAL NAME"!!!!!!
You mean being an idiot is American morale?!
Bravo! You are a beautiful human, standing on truth, humanity, and justice❤
Thanks mam for your beautiful soul speaking for justice she will sleep piecefully for standing with humanity beautiful soul
Biden must not win the next election, this would be a win for neocons. If Biden wins look for WWIII. Trump is not much better. This household will vote Third Party,.
Pro-Israeli (AIPAC) donations to Joe Biden $5,223,313, putting him at the top of the list of bought-off politicians to Israeli special interests. Biden's public service has long been in "his interests" but the actions against Palestinians make this pay-off the most disgusting. Biden and many of the top US politicians should all be held and tried for war crimes, and vote 3rd party for President.

Thank you, Ms. Sheline. As an American, I'm sick about all this horrific evil we are supporting.
THIS!!! This is what it means to be an American!! Thank you so much to her for speaking out, and hopefully affecting others to speak out and stop enabling the horrific dehumanization and genocide of the Palestinian people!! ❤️🕊️💚❤️🕊️💚
The anguish is on her face. BRAVE and ethical person!!! THANK YOU for speaking out. We see, hear, and support you.

Josh Paul was smart to cut out early. He had years of experience and knew he couldn’t do this anymore when it came to Israel.
Thank you for your bravery for standing up for human rights and against genocide, @Annelle Sheline. May you and your daughter always know you were in the right side of history 💜🙏💜
I can see the pain and disappointment on her face. I salute you for standing for humanity and respect your inner beliefs! not many have the courage!!
She looks STRESSED and concerned....I dont think peopel udnerstand how extreme things are and how illegal it is. I think people are used to world leaders doing whatever they want and not getting in trouble...I dont think they understand that Netanyahu is in Hitler territory right now (ironically)...in fact he sitting better that hitler...hitler was backed by allied countries and was fought against...with this everyone is just sitting around trying to get food asking israel to play nice...they not actually DOING anything...
Thank you Annelle for your courage. History will remember the few of you that stood up for humanity.

The war of annihilation of this people must be stopped because it is humanity and respect for international law, and the trial of Netanyahu, the killer of innocents and children, and the massacres that continue under diplomatic and military support
Genocide, huh? Israel's military must have really bad aim if that is their intent. They probably wouldn't allow any aid in at all.
Omar and Tlaib should follow her footsteps for dignity sake. Let's wait and see if they have the guts to do it.😂
I have often wondered why Americans NEVER held their government accountable, this is surely a momentous event not just for America but billions of peace loving people in the world.
I dont think it has processed in peoples mind what is going on...many people are uneductaed...they think israel-gaza is a war...they dont udnerstand there is a difference...and they have become desensitized to all the all wars that happen ELSEWHERE...i dont think they realize that we witnessing a hitler 2.0 moment and that we in genocide territory...netanyahu dont even have bomb peopel right now to kill them they LITERALLY starving to death, those food drops are just a few thousand to save face for the US that cant feed the million that is starving...those trucks need to get in and go back and forth...

I hope one day, your kids end up in a Muslim country like Iran, where they can see real Islam in action, then you might understand what Israel is fighting.
Doesn’t matter what country, everyone should be taking a stand against the corrupt governments. This has been setup for thousands of years, it ends now!

More than 1000 times many humanists and neutral commentators have testified and written here that Hamas attacked after 75 years of suppression, land-confiscations, genozidal-ethnic-cleansing, and war crimes against them, in their own homeland. They reacted after they saw no hope in merely protesting in or out of UN.
Thank you for standing you... America Salutes your courage,,,
Thank you, Anelle Sheline, for being on the right side of history. The world (and especially the U.S.) needs more courageous, principled people like you.
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.
To me she is as heroic as Aaron Bushnell. So much respect for her!

Vomit. Shut up. If she and all the rest of you were SO courageous then why weren't they walking away BEFORE Oct. 7th? Do you honestly think they didn't know these atrocities were being perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people? It takes ZERO courage to do something once all the REST of the sheep have begun to do it as well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is clearly disturbed with what happening to the Palestinians

Send her over to Hamas and then have her check back in a week
I’ve watched this many times. Moves me beyond measure.
Remember Aaron Bushnell, he is not alone! Free Palestine! Stop the genocide! You are doing the right thing, Annelle. God bless you and God bless Palestine!
We need more decent human beings like her. I could feel her pain 😢. Thank you for your humanity ❤
Annelle Sheline , your dedication and honesty and bravery to stand to the truth is greatly appreciated. To me you are a hero .
When people say Isreal has a right to self-defense, I struggle to understand what they are talking about.
It's called paid opinions.. notice the ones who support isreali government have no soul?
It’s the theoretical universe in which they are attacked out of the blue by an unprovoked adversary.
That’s not actually what happened, but they can convince a lot of people who aren’t paying much attention just by saying it repeatedly.
The Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia
The secret History of Khazarian Mafia and its evil plan to hijack the whole world is now revealed for first time.
If you replace the word selfdefense for genocide things became cleater , its just double talk..
Against the everyday civilian population of Gaza who come armed with no military, air or navy forces. And of whom half the population are child-age.
This is who the most advanced army in the world has a right to protect itself from. Newborns in their cots, premature babies in their incubators and foetus’s still developing in their mothers wombs, just one of many categories that Israel has gone to war with.
Why is America parachuting in aid to Gaza if Israel is providing plenty, according to the state dept. Blatant ,obvious, recorded and criminal! Bless Anneelle ! She is on the correct and moral side of history.
That is why it complicated. You say there are trucks load at the same time airdropping aid. Do they think we are fool
US should inspect the aid shipments on the Egyptian border to fast track this...
@@doginuYou dont need to inspect anything it is food and medical equipment.
Dropping aide is just drama. Actually US wants to Israel to invade Rafah and continue their atrocities
Masta Jew is Gods chosen race and Masta Jew will inherit the Earth, starting with the Middle East!
We have seen natural humanity affected by what is happening to the people of Gaza. This is human nature and humanity 💔

Israel is not part of the U.S., and I would like to stop providing for its defense.
If they were part of us they’d be facing a lot more consequences atm. After this outburst, it may be for both our and their best interest if we literally make them a state so that they’re subject to our internal laws and can’t go about causing themselves such extreme problems.
You should want much more than that. The US is the main aggressor in the world, and has been for many decades. Don't waste your time thinking of other countries, none come even close.
THE U.S IS PART OF ISRAEL THAT IS THE REALITY BUT THE PEOPLE II NOT MATURE TO UNDERSTAND
But a lot of them hold high level positions in the US government.
Delusional
Bravo Annelle for your courage and your conscience! We need more like you ❤
Totaly I agree with you Annelle! Very valiant protester, I congratulate you.
Why is US taxpayers sending $6 billion a year to Israel in military aid, no questions asked
Wrong try 3 not 6.
It's closer to $20B.
It is literally a money laundering scheme. Tax payer money gets sent to Israel, Israel must spend that money on US Military Equipment. See the Tax Payer can't be exploited by the Military industry as much as other industries, BUT if the US protects "foreign interests", the tax payer can have their taxes used to protect the US's foreign interests.
Because Congress is bought by Israel.
It’s not that no questions are asked, they’re just ignored
This woman needs to be employed by a human rights org immediately. A mother who cares about the legacy for her children is a true American.
A mother who does not care of children and women and elderly when they are Jews a mother who can not see that if Hamas returned the hostages and surrender they would be able to stop the war
@@Levin67another Zionist troll indulging in whataboutery nonsense.
This woman took SIX months to resign, she's far from being a hero!
Haha😂
That's quite a high horse you're judging her from!
It took a good 3 months for the ICJ with all their resources & legal representatives to decide on the 'plausibility' of a 'potential' genocide, so 6 months is not a really accurate point of criticism.
As she stated, it's difficult existing without a job in the U.S. - she gave up a secure, possibly life long career, may be declined by many potential employers, labelled anti semetic, lost her & her child's health insurance, no idea about her home .... for her principles.

@@dianekatz488that is an absolute lie. The majority of Americans despise apartheid Israel and their own government.

You clearly not eduacated by others than MSM
@@dianekatz488 "A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel's military actions in Gaza, in a stark shift since last fall, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.
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

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....

I'm sorry I just don't think that's 'hero' status. Like I say, I don't know what you call it, but 'hero' is an overstatement....
Heroes aren't quitters. All she did was quitting. She vacated a position in the government, albeit a very low one, for someone who believes in democracy, freedom and human rights (with U.S. characteristics) more than her.
She definitely did the "right thing", but she ain't no hero. Aaron Bushnell on the other hand, he did something.

You are antisemitic liar - there is no genocide in Gaza.

Who benefits from the blood of children?
I bleed from a thousand wounds that no one sees, My pain, that which I feel for the children of Gaza deprived of the presence of their parents, Disappeared, buried under the rubble of their shelter. 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.
May God Almighty reward her and you, replace it with something better, reveal all truth and make justice for all the oppressed!

Just like now they teach Israel’s military operations during the six day war of 1967.
Maybe you are not a bad guy, but your ignorance of the history of Arab- Jewish and Arab-Israel conflict is on display. I can tell you that as a person who studies this for more then 20 years. Your ignorance makes you to defend the worst enemies of not only Jews, western civilization and basic values of any free society, but of peaceful Arabs as well. You should not defend Hamas.

What is sad, people like yourself, continue to make the assumptions Any person who criticizes Israel or shows concern for the “plausible” genocide, somehow is against the existence of Israel. 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
Thank you for resigning, Aniline, your views are I'll informed. I wish you the best in finding another job.
Anyone who links the word genocide to Israel should resign.
THANK you, Amelie Sheline!..from northern Arizona Diné! We support Humanitarian Justice for Palestinians!
(Also great respect to Aaron Bushnell for his heroic stand!)
Annelle 😊✊
I was questioning my truth for a moment. The U.S have morals?
She is not from the U.S... The world makes sense again.
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.
@@dianekatz488thank you for showing your true color of “humanity”. Historically state criminals like the little mustache man always had fans and cheer leaders. Why should we be surprised
@@ytrewq12345 Where'd you get that idea 👀 She's American
There's a huge obvious difference between defending itself and the ruthless extermination of an entire defenseless population trapped in 100 km2 with no food no water no medication or even clean air to breathe.
🎯
Conflicts in the Middle East have never been about the truth. They're about creating instability, securing control of shipping canals and of oil.
Not for those people who get their self-righteous pretexts for genocide from over 2000-year-old religious texts
The news likes to cover it by calling Palestine Gaza. The media has helped Europeans steal a nation and change its name while wiping out a civilization. I never wanna hear a year about Warsaw. Germany tried to save the world.
Yet, israel picks scripture to suit its interests. God gave the Jews conditions to keep the land, and also how they must treat non-Jews. All are brothers was God’s command.
Bravo!! I salute you for your standing for humanity. World needs more human beings like you
God bless you for being a human being with a conscience and a back bone! Your resignation speaks volumes. U ARE NOT JUST SOME PUPPET.
Another patriotic woman, I salute her for doing the right thing. God bless and protect her!
Amen.
Absolutely! Human rights is far more important than the fascist regime that is destroying the world.
Annelle, from a grandmother in Canada…THANK YOU…..for standing up for what is right!
A mouse should not disguise to be a cat to join the team of alley cats. Politics is dangerous there is no such friend or enemy It's always about individual selfish interest. She deserves a happy life by being just an ordinary citizen. 👍
@@noecadavona1862No, she is not an “ordinary citizen”, she goes public supporting genocidal Nazi-like regime Hamas. At best, she is an innocent idiot.
No, she is a Genocidal Nazi- like regime Hamas supporter.
From a mother in America. She is selfishly pushing her own agenda and doing NOTHING to help Palestians or Israelis.
God bless you grandma
Wow, what integrity and moral fortitude. May God bless and protect Madame Sheline. A true example of a decent person.
I watched this all, it was like spotting a beacon of hope among a vast dark ocean of desperation.
He says he supports Israel's right to "defend itself". Against unarmed civilians? Disgusting.
I give credit also to the reporter who keeps asking when Miller spins to shut her questions down. It must be so hard for all the reporters to go there and listen to state dept. representatives spin for Israel every day.
Those "unarmed civilians" sure did show up with a lot of guns on Oct. 7.
Hamas hides among civilians
@@briansmith2125 so you support the wanton slaughter of 32,000 civilians, 14,000 who happen to be children? Genocide apologist.
Yes. The same broken record. Miller believes that his answer is plausible. He keeps making a fool of himself.
Good luck to Annelle Sheline in everything she does, a brave and principled woman.
God Bless this woman...thank you for standing up for human rights.
May God blessed you and your entire family. Thank you for your service and your effortless hardwork.
People like her make you believe humanity is still alive. Thank you Annelle, for standing up for humanity. ❤
She's from a country that people aren't hungry, and get paid by their government to stay home.. Travel the world and you will know that humanity has been dead ages ago.
It only took months of carnage & genocide before she said a word.
In a Zionist controlled political environment, I'd say she had enough and committed a selfless act.
She must have financial means to resign.
I apologise for my scepticism. But the USA managed to make a skeptic out of me.
This women is a hero, has more courage than most men.
Jeez, gotta be a culture war thing, huh? Fairly sure courage is based on the individual, not what's between their legs 😂
That said, she is an absolute beast 💪🏽
Hero for whom ? This is no more than damage control to further manipulate the g**
Thanks Annelle for doing the needful!
See this Lady Really Represents American People.. 🇯🇴✊️ Respect for living her job..
No, she is not.
leaving...leaving! Not ....living. Jeez!
@@Monkey341please change your nickname as Monkey does not suit your IQ 🙄.
It's better late than never.
11:04 Thank you to the young woman who resigned the State Department. You speak for so very many of us who cannot believe the uncritical support for a nation who is consciously and openly killing civilians. It's not only against our democratic values and laws but so abhorrent and devoid of any humanitarian values.
Hero's name is Annelle Sheline ✌🏻
Our admiration to you from the Global South Ms. Annelle Sheline! Bravo!
The US is doing a great job in standing by its allies despite some minor differences of opinions. 👍💯✔️🎯
Mrs Sheline you are a hero for many people for speaking up against the Genocide in Gaza. Love and respect from Amman, Jordan
Defund Israel
What’s an “israel”? that’s not a real country.
lol “israel” yet they’re all self proclaimed “Jews” but Jews are from the tribe of Judah and 90% of Israelite tribes were NOT Jews ….
Indeed, defund Zionism.

That's an Antisemitic statement to make..
1 Israel's soldier is more important than 35 US's soldiers...
Refrain from being Antisemitic
Kudos to you Annelle for daring to take this stand and for speaking out. Thank you Democracy Now for having her and all the other people who shine a light on the horrors, the inhumanity and the hypocrisy.
Thank you Annelle for standing up for humanity!
I am voting for Jill Stein. Thank you Annelle Sheline, you should write a book. Stop the occupation of the US by Israel.
Anelle should join the Stein campaign to fully right her wrongs - she could have resigned months ago, like the former arms dealer did!
I did not realize that she was on the ballot. Gee, I wonder why I did not know
@@jjutt87 honestly, she should right her wrongs?
Dr Jill Stein is the only anti genocide anti war candidate who wants to scale back funding the military industrial complex and actually address the plethora of domestic issues we face here in OUR COUNTRY.
@@joebondo2422 Jill is great. I canvased for her last time she ran. Marianne Williamson was on the primary and I voted for her. I do believe that she is like minded.
Free Gaza, god bless you all🙏
Bring AIPAC to justice for legalizing bribery in the Congress
it was free. it committed genocide against jews. until you understand how evil that is, you are part of the problem
God bless you great women Annelle Sheline!
BIDEN has lost my vote over his stance on Gaza even if he calls for ceasefire today, he had 5 months to stop this genocide of Palestinians, no to BIDEN, NO TO TRUMP, will vote 4 Marianne Williamson!!!
@carolyn. Not Biden, not Trump, not Rfk Jr. They all support Israel come what may.

Haha but he keeps sending genocide funding
Voting for Biden you realize is voting for the people that control him. He has no idea what is going on and has NO power. He is merely a puppet. I am shocked how many democrats can't or don't want to see that!
Marianne Williamson I believe is a staunch supporter of Israel. She also won’t get my vote
The problem is the dual citizens in congress combined with AIPAC don't view Israel as a foriegn government. It's ridiculous and America citizens are sick of this policy and line of thinking.
make a change in next election. Vote them out.
Any country that allows dual citizens to hold political office is doomed. Any country whose elected representatives have to swear an oath to a foreign country is doomed. Wake up!
In terms of foreign policy, the US has long been the USI, the United States for Israel rather than the USA.
We need politicians not loyal to foreign government
So, who is an American in your opinion? AOC? Rashida Tlaib? Kamala Harris?
Thank you, Annelle Sheline, for your courage! Many of us stand by the same basic humanitarian principles. You gave us a voice.
