Former U.S. officials lamented the Biden administration’s policies toward Israel amid the Gaza war during a 60 Minutes segment focused on disillusioned officials.
Miller added the U.S. did not impose any red lines, leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the message that “he was the one in the driver’s seat, and he was controlling this, and U.S. support was going to be there, and he could take it for granted.”
Former diplomat Hala Rharrit noted she was “basically berated” by a superior for including images of children that starved to death, with her reports on Arab views on the U.S. role in the war suspended after just three months.
Miller, meanwhile, noted the war will only end “when Israel says it’s over. Absent intervention from the United States or for someone else to compel or to force a decision. It ends when Netanyahu says it’s over.”
We literally sanctioned the ICC rather than Israel. So yah… this is putting it lightly. The US will never again be able to claim they are above genocide without looking like ridiculous hypocrites, and it’s fucking sad.
