A State Department official has resigned from the bureau that oversees arms transfers to foreign nations, citing his objection to continued U.S. military assistance to Israel as its retaliatory bombardment and blockade of Gaza exacerbate a humanitarian crisis there.
Josh Paul was the director of congressional and public affairs at the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. In a two-page letter posted on LinkedIn, he said he had made a promise to himself when he joined over a decade ago that he would stay "as long as I felt the harm I might do could be outweighed by the good I could do."

What would he propose to prevent the slaughter of Israelis if the current course wasn't followed? I have no doubt success in their first operation would result in more extensive operations by Hamas if unopposed.

But not over arms sent to Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Lebanon? What does that tell you?
