The amazingly brave Cecilia Vega at CBS’ 60 Minutes did a groundbreaking segment <https://www.cbsnews.com/us-israel-gaza-policy-60-minutes/> on Sunday in which she interviewed US government officials involved with the Israeli war on Gaza, who resigned in protest either explicitly or implicitly. She also screened the sort of horrific footage of the aftermath of Israeli attacks in Gaza, with the gory parts left in. Here is the transcript. <https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-state-department-officials-concerned-about-us-role-israel-war-in-gaza-60-minutes-transcript/>
American television news has almost completely ignored Israeli (and US) war crimes in Gaza, which have been taking place daily, but are not apparently deemed “news” at CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBS, ABC, etc. Here let me just excerpt some statements by the former US government officials: *Hala Rharrit* was an American diplomat working on human rights: “What is happening in Gaza would not be able to happen without U.S. arms. That’s without a doubt.” “I would show the complicity that was indisputable. Fragments of U.S. bombs next to massacres of– of ch– mostly children. And that’s the devastation. *It’s been overwhelmingly children*.” (Emphasis added.) “I would show images of children that were starved to death. In one incident, I was basically berated, “Don’t put that image in there. We don’t wanna see it. We don’t wanna see that the children are starving to death.” Hala Rharrit: The level of anger throughout the Arab world, and I– I’ll say beyond the Arab world– is palpable. Protests began erupting in the Arab world, which I was also documenting, with people burning American flags. This is very significant because we worked so hard after the war on terror to strengthen ties with the Arab world. [Cecilia Vega: You believe that this has put a target on America’s back, you’ve said.] Hala Rharrit: 100%. https://www.juancole.com/2025/01/administrations-complicity-whistleblowers.html ........................................ When Israeli Warplanes Rain Death on Gaza, the Copilot is a Bipartisan Uncle Sam https://www.juancole.com/2025/01/israeli-warplanes-bipartisan.html This will be the legacy of the Biden/Harris gang, and that of "progressives" who supported, donated, and worked for them! Ask the Palestinians- - those still alive - if they consider these genocide enablers "lesser evils"! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
