Annelle Sheline, a former employee of the U.S. State Department, has publicly resigned over the Biden administration's handling of Israel's five-month military operation in Gaza, which she describes as genocide. In an interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! and an op-ed, Sheline expressed her decision was driven by a desire to not remain silent on the issue, emphasizing the need to be able to tell her daughter she spoke out against what she views as a grave injustice. Her resignation has sparked discussions on the role of the U.S. in the conflict, with other individuals, including a US Special Forces veteran, Alan Shebaro, criticizing U.S. support for Israel. Shebaro, who described the situation as 'ethnic cleansing' in a viral video during a Texas city council meeting, further amplified the criticism. Sheline's stance is supported by quotes from an IDF major general, highlighted in her op-ed and reported on CNN, emphasizing the U.S.'s responsibility in the conflict.
