U.S. Army Officer Resigns over "Enabling and Empowering the Killing and Starvation of Palestinians"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A U.S. Army officer working at the Defense Intelligence Agency has
resigned to protest what he called the United States' "unqualified
support" for Israel's war on Gaza. Major Harrison Mann wrote in a post
online that the U.S. has "enabled and empowered the killing and
starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians." He went on to
write, "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."
