““The fact is, blind support for one side is destructive in the long term to the interests of the people on both sides. I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made in these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer””
“Let me be clear: Hamas’ attack on Israel was not just a monstrosity; it was a monstrosity of monstrosities,” said Paul, who was responsible for “shaping and implementing an holistic communications strategy in support of U.S. security assistance, arms transfers, and global defense partnerships,” according to his account.
Josh described the U.S. response as “an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual bankruptcy and bureaucratic inertia,” as well as deeply disappointing and not surprising. He said that both Palestinians and Israelis have a right to flourish, with kidnapping children and taking people at gunpoint from their villages as Hamas did in its shocking attack, an “enemy to that desire.
In the two-page post, Paul said that given his role is “solidly in the arms transfer space,” he would be rushing more arms to the Israeli side of the conflict that he sees as “shortsighted, destructive, unjust and contradictory,” to American values.More than 1,400 people in Israel have died since Hamas crossed into Israeli territory nearly two weeks ago, with roughly 200 people believed to have been kidnapped.
