As criticism mounted over Israel’s assault and siege on Gaza—which has left more than 144,000 Palestinians dead, maimed, or missing and has flattened most of the coastal enclave while stoking deadly famine and the spread of preventable diseases including polio—Resnick helped expedite the flow of U.S. arms to the key Middle Eastern ally.
She also worked with the far-right government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan wants to arrest for alleged war crimes including “extermination,” to allow private citizens to donate equipment to the Israel Defense Forces.
Annelle Sheline, a former State Department official who resigned earlier this year over Biden’s support for Israel amid a war for which the key ally is on trial for genocide at the International Court of Justice, told HuffPost that Resnick’s appointment “reflects a doubling down on the administration’s determination to continue to provide unconditional material support for Israel’s genocidal campaign against civilians in Gaza.”

I wonder why ‘Literal Arms Dealer’ is in quotes.
It’s useless hyperbole.
She works for the US government and manages the transfer of arms. That’s not an ‘arms dealer’ which is a private, profit-driven trade in arms.
Would you wonder less upon learning OP is banned for bad faith actions all over Lemmy?
Not here. We welcome actors of all faiths.
American University of Beirut history professor Zeead Yaghi decried the Biden administration’s appointment of “a literal arms dealer.”
Sometimes I wonder when the cognitive dissonance will become unbearable.
Because it’s meant to be incendiary in content, not factual.
Because it’s a literal quote lol.
Was media literacy always this bad or have I forgotten?
