Biden State Department Official Resigns Over U.S. Support of Israel During Gaza Genocide

Says one day she'll be asked by her daughter about what happened in Gaza

Annelle Sheline, a human rights official at the U.S. State Department, resigned after it became clear to her that the Biden administration would not stop arming Israel no matter what.

“The fundamental reason was – I no longer wanted to be affiliated with this administration,” she told the Guardian. “I have a young daughter. She’s not yet two, but if someday in the future, she is learning about this and knows that I was at the state department and she asked me [about it] – I want to be able to tell her that I did what I could.”

Sheline announced her resignation to The Washington Post.

“I wasn’t able to really do my job anymore. Trying to advocate for human rights just became impossible,” she said.

Last October, Josh Paul, a long-time U.S. State Department official, announced his resignation on Wednesday over the Biden administration’s approach to the Israel-Hamas war that continues to rage while causing one of the world’s biggest humanitarian calamities.
