As human rights groups continue to call out war crimes committed by the Israeli military, we speak to the only U.S. diplomat to publicly resign from the Biden administration over its policy on Israel.

We first spoke to Hala Rharrit when she resigned from the State Department in April, citing the illegal and deceptive nature of U.S. policy in the Middle East. “We continue to willfully violate laws so that we surge U.S. military assistance to Israel,” she says after more than a year of Israel’s war on Gaza.

Rharrit says she found the Biden administration unmovable in its “counterproductive policy,” which she believes has gravely harmed U.S. interests in the Middle East. “We are going to feel the repercussions of that for years, decades, generations.”

    Why would you need to lie about them carpet bombing civilians as proof for genocide if you’re convinced that’s the case without it?

        Carpet bombing in WW2 wasn’t called that because they dropped a large number of single bombs over a country over a large period, it was called that because it’s a technique where you try to cover an area with a dense carpet of bombs all at once

            I think you could write 100 comments but none of them would support your claim that Israel is carpet bombing civilians

                neither I nor the person who originally used the word ‘carpet’ were claiming that israel was “carpet” bombing civilians

                They literally are carpet bombing civillians
