Army major resigns in protest of US support for Israel in Gaza

A U.S. Army officer working at the Defense Intelligence Agency has resigned from the military, citing his objection to Israel’s war in Gaza, according to an open letter he published online  saying he is distressed that his work has contributed to the deaths of Palestinian civilians. “At some point — whatever the justification — you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not,” he wrote. “And I want to clarify that as the descendant of European Jews, I was raised in a particularly unforgiving moral environment when it came to the topic of bearing responsibility for ethnic cleansing.”
