“At some point … you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not,” he said.
Following the Israeli army's ground incursions into certain neighborhoods east of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinians residing in the area continue to migrate from the eastern neighborhoods of the city towards the west of Khan Yunis on May 9, 2024.Another Biden administration official has resigned over the U.S.’s unconditional support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza — this time a senior officer in the U.S. Army who also served as an intelligence official for the Pentagon.
“Each of us signed up to serve knowing we might have to support policies we weren’t fully convinced of. Our defense institutions couldn’t function otherwise,” Mann wrote. “However, at some point it became difficult to defend the outcomes of this particular policy. At some point — whatever the justification — you’re either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you’re not.
In his letter, Mann said that he felt isolated within the Pentagon as someone who objected to the U.S.’s staunch support of Israel. He said that he was afraid to step out of line and of “violating our professional norms.”
