"If you are somebody who is really motivated by the concern to protect Jewish life," Mann said, "you should be fighting for [Israel] to wind down the war, to conduct it in a way that does not turn basically the whole world against them. That is not good for the near- or long-term security of Israel."
You can quote the scripture all you want but hardly anyone else who gains a conscience gets a major news outlet story published about them. The quote I pulled from the article here demonstrates, to me anyway, that if Israel was a mere 5% less genocidal he would’ve held on to his post. This guy worked for the Middle East bureau and now I’d wager he’s gonna go work for some private defense contractor of some sort. He does some sort of minor protest that won’t impact anything and now we aren’t allowed to call him a pig on the internet?
"They're not responding in a way that is productive for the security of the state of Israel or Jews worldwide," Mann said. "I'm confident saying it's certainly some measure of ethnic cleansing. I do not think it is in the spirit of 'never again'."
Major criticizing israel is going to mic/pmc to do what, exactly? They are either israel beneficiaries or evangelical sickos. He is torching his career.
You are free to do whatever, i think people doing right steps are more than welcome to do them, instead of casting in them in unforgivable sins and sit happy how you are ascendant never-wrong-person (the first son in the parable).
Even if we imagine 10 % percent of americans are radicalized and ready to go, if you have 0 % sympathetic officers in military, you are boned. shitting on any military person for becoming something better is good recipe to get to that 0 % support. If some tzar officer quit to the reds during 1917 in petrograd, are they to be damned as well if they have previously put down some rebellion in poland?
No I mean, I agree, I’d love it if there were a considerable cadre of radicalizing officers, but that’s not what I’m seeing. I’m also not casting an unforgivable sin or whatever on anybody, I’m just giving them shit. The only issue I have are these pieces about dissenting individuals that never amount to anything
Radicalization rarely happens all at once. The steps people take in the right direction should be encouraged. It's easy to do that without saying his slate is clean.
by its nature being in the military frequently works as a sin (which it is) for leftists though. He maybe using soft words either cause he is civility lib, or maybe his heart had awoken, but he is a no theory mf.
But it can be amended somewhat, and he is done a small step there (by being public about it). i think its becoming-a-better-bean behavior for now and should be little bit celebrated.
Something is different this time around media wise, I remain cynical is regards to these types of stories, but maybe they’re indicative of Israel’s fall in the near future
You have to give cogs in the machine a way out. You don't have to trust the guy, and quitting doesn't exonerate one of past crimes, but the obvious response here should be "this person took a meaningful step in the right direction."
It’s a shame Israel’s conduct has taken such a sharp turn I’m sure things were different back when this bastion of morality signed up
discovering you have a consciousness is always good, i don't think berating him is useful

Unless he does a major overhaul of his identity and tries to advocate for the people his actions hurt, I'm completely with you on this.
We need to stop burying the bar, he didn't even resign because of the genocide. He just thinks they need to be more PC about it.
