Can't believe what I'm reading!!! 
The US government's involvement in Israel's war on Gaza is just appalling! I mean, how can they claim to care about peace when their actions are basically enabling Israel's aggression?! 
Josh Paul's story is a wake-up call for all of us – we need more people like him speaking out against the injustices happening in the Middle East. The fact that he had to resign over his concerns just shows how entrenched the powers that be are in supporting Israel, no matter the cost. 
And what really gets my goat is that Washington's actions have been used as a tool of coercion by Israel – it's like they're holding the entire region hostage! 
I'm so tired of hearing that the US just wants to maintain a strong relationship with its allies, but when it comes down to it, those allies are basically being allowed to trample over innocent lives. The thought of policymakers being "stuck in their ways" and unwilling to confront reality is just infuriating! 
We need change now, not some watered-down compromise that will only perpetuate more violence. A New Policy might be a small spark of hope, but we need to see real action from the US government if we're going to bring about meaningful reform.

. It feels like the country is stuck in a cycle of enabling Israel's aggressive actions and not taking enough responsibility for its own human rights abuses in Gaza 
. I mean, Josh Paul has some serious insider knowledge from his time at the Bureau, so if he's saying that Washington's role is perpetuating violence, it sounds pretty convincing to me 
.
. Maybe we'd have seen less suffering on both sides of the conflict by now 
. But for Paul, it seems like policymakers are still stuck in their ways and unwilling to confront the harsh realities of US involvement in Israeli politics

. I'm not holding out much hope for this either...
As for Josh Paul's claims that US policy is enabling Israel's aggression, it's hard to argue with his experience as a former diplomat. Did you know that since 2019, there have been over 1,400 Palestinian deaths and 10,000+ injuries in Gaza? It's heartbreaking stuff... 
Meanwhile, the US provides over $3 billion in military aid to Israel each year. That's some serious firepower. 
What do you think? Should the US be doing more to hold Israel accountable for its human rights abuses?
