Colonel Nathan McCormack, who served as the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff's J5 planning directorate, has been removed from his position by the Pentagon following revelations of multiple social media posts critical of Israel. McCormack publicly described Israel as a "death cult," referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his associates as "Judeo-supremacist cronies," and questioned whether the United States was functioning as a proxy for Israel. The Pentagon launched an internal investigation into these antisemitic and anti-Israel posts after they were reported by the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS).

McCormack had been advising the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Middle East strategy since June 2024. The removal reflects heightened scrutiny within the Pentagon regarding the conduct of senior military officials in relation to U.S. policy on Israel and the broader Middle East.

Writing this sucked, given the enormous gratitude I have for the outlet. But since Oct. 7, I’ve made it my mission to expose every single antisemitic journalist and editor in the media. Unfortunately, even Fox News wasn’t immune to the world’s oldest hate. Meet Ian Jopson.
