I Could Not Stay Silent: Annelle Sheline Resigns from State Dept. over U.S. Gaza Policy
Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
A State Department official working on human rights issues in the Middle East resigned Wednesday in protest of U.S. support for Israel's assault on Gaza. Annelle Sheline, who worked as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, was not planning on publicly resigning, but her colleagues asked her to "please speak out" against the Biden administration's unconditional support for Israel. "At the end of the day, many people inside [the State Department] know that this is a horrific policy, and can't believe that the United States government is engaged in such actions that contravene American values so directly, but the leadership is not listening," says Sheline. "I'm trying to speak on behalf of those many, many people who feel so betrayed by our government's stance." Sheline describes being moved by the words of Aaron Bushnell, the active-duty U.S. airman who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in protest of the war on Gaza, who implored everyone to take a stand against genocide. "I have a young daughter, and I thought about, in the future, if she were to ask me, 'What were you doing when this was happening? You were at the State Department.' I want to be able to tell her that I didn't stay silent."

Israel is not part of the U.S., and I would like to stop providing for its defense.
If they were part of us they’d be facing a lot more consequences atm. After this outburst, it may be for both our and their best interest if we literally make them a state so that they’re subject to our internal laws and can’t go about causing themselves such extreme problems.
You should want much more than that. The US is the main aggressor in the world, and has been for many decades. Don't waste your time thinking of other countries, none come even close.
THE U.S IS PART OF ISRAEL THAT IS THE REALITY BUT THE PEOPLE II NOT MATURE TO UNDERSTAND
But a lot of them hold high level positions in the US government.
Delusional
Why is US taxpayers sending $6 billion a year to Israel in military aid, no questions asked
Wrong try 3 not 6.
It's closer to $20B.
It is literally a money laundering scheme. Tax payer money gets sent to Israel, Israel must spend that money on US Military Equipment. See the Tax Payer can't be exploited by the Military industry as much as other industries, BUT if the US protects "foreign interests", the tax payer can have their taxes used to protect the US's foreign interests.
Because Congress is bought by Israel.
It’s not that no questions are asked, they’re just ignored
Thank you, Ms. Sheline. As an American, I'm sick about all this horrific evil we are supporting.
THIS!!! This is what it means to be an American!! Thank you so much to her for speaking out, and hopefully affecting others to speak out and stop enabling the horrific dehumanization and genocide of the Palestinian people!! ❤️🕊️💚❤️🕊️💚
When people say Isreal has a right to self-defense, I struggle to understand what they are talking about.
It's called paid opinions.. notice the ones who support isreali government have no soul?
It’s the theoretical universe in which they are attacked out of the blue by an unprovoked adversary. That’s not actually what happened, but they can convince a lot of people who aren’t paying much attention just by saying it repeatedly.
The Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia The secret History of Khazarian Mafia and its evil plan to hijack the whole world is now revealed for first time.
If you replace the word selfdefense for genocide things became cleater , its just double talk..
Against the everyday civilian population of Gaza who come armed with no military, air or navy forces. And of whom half the population are child-age. This is who the most advanced army in the world has a right to protect itself from. Newborns in their cots, premature babies in their incubators and foetus’s still developing in their mothers wombs, just one of many categories that Israel has gone to war with.
If I were an American citizen, I’d be ashamed of my government.
Trust that some of us have been ashamed for a LONG time 😞
Believe me, I have been for decades. It seems like the government doesn't care about its citizens and what we think.
I am equally ashamed of my government! Zionism is very much integrated in our government it seems. Bad for our democracy.
Trust me, we are ashamed.
ABSOLUTELY
Thank you for your bravery for standing up for human rights and against genocide, @Annelle Sheline. May you and your daughter always know you were in the right side of history 💜🙏💜
I have often wondered why Americans NEVER held their government accountable, this is surely a momentous event not just for America but billions of peace loving people in the world.
I dont think it has processed in peoples mind what is going on...many people are uneductaed...they think israel-gaza is a war...they dont udnerstand there is a difference...and they have become desensitized to all the all wars that happen ELSEWHERE...i dont think they realize that we witnessing a hitler 2.0 moment and that we in genocide territory...netanyahu dont even have bomb peopel right now to kill them they LITERALLY starving to death, those food drops are just a few thousand to save face for the US that cant feed the million that is starving...those trucks need to get in and go back and forth...
"Raw, naked evidence can be overridden by American intellectuals just because the “security” of Israel demands it." - Edward Said
its a promise america made to to israel after 1948
Because they can't
IM BRITISH AND SHOCKED THAT UK IS NOT ONLY ALLOWING GENOCIDE BUT AIDING IT TOO!!!
I'm canadian and shocked that canada (i.e. Trudeau, "Joly», senator Pierre Dalphond and other complicit) are not only allowing genocide but aiding it too !!!
Uh England is doing the same thing?
What people don't know is that the Taiwan Provincial Government strongly supports the ethnic cleansing carried out by the United States.
this is hidden by the British media as usual ,come the next election the tories and labour party will be hit hard by the people.
I am French 🇫🇷 and also very Shocked that my country is still providing weapons to support the ongoing genocide
Blinken said the first day he arrived in Israel “I am here as a Jew” which meant he is not there representing the American people on this issue.
Excellent point. Thank you.
He is considered hostile in Israel all jews in the administration are bad news to Israel !!
Blinken is the most slithering snake like Jew out of all the Jews. He is the face of what every Mossad agent looks and acts like.
Lol. As if he ever _did_ represent the American people.
Still with American flag and jet sponsored from tax payers 😢
I can see the pain and disappointment on her face. I salute you for standing for humanity and respect your inner beliefs! not many have the courage!!
She looks STRESSED and concerned....I dont think peopel udnerstand how extreme things are and how illegal it is. I think people are used to world leaders doing whatever they want and not getting in trouble...I dont think they understand that Netanyahu is in Hitler territory right now (ironically)...in fact he sitting better that hitler...hitler was backed by allied countries and was fought against...with this everyone is just sitting around trying to get food asking israel to play nice...they not actually DOING anything...
Thank you for raising our voice
Shame on Matt Miller! He thinks that stopping genocide in Gaza is against the U.S. policy?
Miller is a terrorist because he’s enabling Israeli terrorism for a few dollars more.
You are antisemitic liar - there is no genocide in Gaza.
Well, he's not wrong. US policy has always been consistent with regard to Israel--its entire purpose is to destabilize that region and to generate strife, so that the war industry can keep making profits.
Matt Miller aka Dracula
Because He is Jewish
A woman with dignity!. Shes got guts and will be scribed in history as someone who stood up against Israeli genocide and its US support.

I just filled out a wrong number on my Tax form. Like many others on TikTok I'm not paying for this. What are they going to do? I'd like to see the government dragging all of us to court for not paying for a genocide. They don't tax the rich and the homeless, middle class is paying for this genocide. Boycott the government. Money is the best way to protest.
thousands in the streets suffering from extreme cold, rain, hunger, and discomfort, and under constant bombardment, to die? The war of annihilation of this people must be stopped because it is humanity and respect for international law, and the trial of Netanyahu, the killer of innocents and children, and the massacres that continue under diplomatic and military support
Genocide, huh? Israel's military must have really bad aim if that is their intent. They probably wouldn't allow any aid in at all.
Omar and Tlaib should follow her footsteps for dignity sake. Let's wait and see if they have the guts to do it.😂
We have seen natural humanity affected by what is happening to the people of Gaza. This is human nature and humanity 💔
It takes bravery beyond belief for a white non Muslim woman to take such a stand against one’s own!! Nothing but respect for the lady. 💔
👏👏👏🫂
I hope one day, your kids end up in a Muslim country like Iran, where they can see real Islam in action, then you might understand what Israel is fighting.
Doesn’t matter what country, everyone should be taking a stand against the corrupt governments. This has been setup for thousands of years, it ends now!
Stupidity is ignoring truths that counters their narrative. They only count rockets coming back against them.

I and my wife fully support this courageous woman, who stands up for the recovery of America’s morale and name.

That's quite a high horse you're judging her from! It took a good 3 months for the ICJ with all their resources & legal representatives to decide on the 'plausibility' of a 'potential' genocide, so 6 months is not a really accurate point of criticism. As she stated, it's difficult existing without a job in the U.S. - she gave up a secure, possibly life long career, may be declined by many potential employers, labelled anti semetic, lost her & her child's health insurance, no idea about her home .... for her principles. Have you ever done that??@@moysterx
He says he supports Israel's right to "defend itself". Against unarmed civilians? Disgusting.
I give credit also to the reporter who keeps asking when Miller spins to shut her questions down. It must be so hard for all the reporters to go there and listen to state dept. representatives spin for Israel every day.
Those "unarmed civilians" sure did show up with a lot of guns on Oct. 7.
Hamas hides among civilians
@@briansmith2125 so you support the wanton slaughter of 32,000 civilians, 14,000 who happen to be children? Genocide apologist.
Yes. The same broken record. Miller believes that his answer is plausible. He keeps making a fool of himself.
Bravo Annelle for your courage and your conscience! We need more like you ❤
We need more decent human beings like her. I could feel her pain 😢. Thank you for your humanity ❤

Josh Paul was smart to cut out early. He had years of experience and knew he couldn’t do this anymore when it came to Israel.
There's a huge obvious difference between defending itself and the ruthless extermination of an entire defenseless population trapped in 100 km2 with no food no water no medication or even clean air to breathe.
🎯
Conflicts in the Middle East have never been about the truth. They're about creating instability, securing control of shipping canals and of oil.
Not for those people who get their self-righteous pretexts for genocide from over 2000-year-old religious texts
The news likes to cover it by calling Palestine Gaza. The media has helped Europeans steal a nation and change its name while wiping out a civilization. I never wanna hear a year about Warsaw. Germany tried to save the world.
Yet, israel picks scripture to suit its interests. God gave the Jews conditions to keep the land, and also how they must treat non-Jews. All are brothers was God’s command.
What a brave lady, it is good to hear honest, non biased voices for the sake of humanity and human kind. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Anelle, your exceptional courage, good character and decency brought me to tears. The world will witness the sacrifices you made and the coming generations will be proud of you. Stay blessed

@@dianekatz488 "A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel's military actions in Gaza, in a stark shift since last fall, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.

Driving the news: 55% of Americans disapprove of Israel's military response in Gaza, a 10-percentage point increase since November, according to the new poll. About one in three (36%) of Americans approve of Israel's military actions in Gaza, according to the new poll.

Thank you, Anelle Sheline, for being on the right side of history. The world (and especially the U.S.) needs more courageous, principled people like you.
Ms, Sheline is NOT a "state department official." She is abusing her former position as an "employee" working on a fellowship at the State Department on democracy issues and writing about Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. She had a political agenda way before this war. She is NOT privy to the details of what is happening in Gaza. Israel remains a just army that adheres to international law and has gone above and beyond to help a population of whom 80% support Hamas and Israel's destruction. She is just another mouthpiece for the leftist anti-Israel camp. Hamas started this war in the most disgusting and brutal way and breaks every possible international law of warfare killing its own citizens in the process. THIS IS OPINION NOT TRUTH. We can have different opinions but FACTS matter.
To me she is as heroic as Aaron Bushnell. So much respect for her!

Who benefits from the blood of children? I bleed from a thousand wounds that no one sees, My pain, that which I feel for the children of Gaza deprived of the presence of their parents, Disappeared, buried under the rubble of their shelter. In these refugee camps where hell has settled, The blood in which the bodies of the kids bathe, shed by the executioner who acts without soul and without glory, does not reach the hearts of the powerful delighted with their gains. My pain is immense, yet I temper my hatred, I am too afraid of losing my only good, my humanity, to resemble the unscrupulous monsters unleashed, chained by their demons in the whirlwind of horror, and delighting in having deprived of life all these little victims.

I don't know, I think 'hero' is a little strong. If it took this much of an extreme in America's foreign policy brutality, either committing it directly or more oftentimes enabling it with their backing and support, for this state dept. employee to finally act on her conscience and not merely the imperatives of her employment.... I don't know how you'd characterize that, but 'hero' seems excessive to me. I suppose better late than never. Furthermore, there's something about her reasoning, seemingly shared with candor, like how she didn't want to be humiliated in front of her daughter given how bad this all this looks, and that effectively is the real motivation for her action.... that makes her resignation even less compelling. Like she's getting out before it gets any worse. Cynical perhaps, but maybe nevertheless true....

Woman of amazing integrity. She will live on with everyone's respect.
Annelle I don't know if you'll read this but the sheer sadness on your face as you came onto the screen tugged at my heart! You look pained, the sign of a real human processing the horrid devastation going on in Gaza. From Lebanon, I just want to hug you and thank you for having the courage to go public in spite of all the resistance and judgement you may face. Thank you ❤
Few people noticed the sad ess on her face. I also wish i could hug her and invite her for a cup of tea. Love Lebanon ❤ praying in my heart that it stays safe ❤
My thoughts exactly
Many Americans are so proud of Annelle. Our horrid presidential administration pains many of us. I probably email my senators and representative at least once a week. I did not vote for my current representative in the recent election because he tool 18K from JStreet. Please know a majority of Americans are horrified by what is happening in Gaza. Our government is captured by Israel. I wish I could say different.
@@1goal1 aww thank you, we've had our own casualties (people and agricultural lands and crops) over the past few months but nothing like what's happening to Gazans and Palestinians in the West Bank. Prayers to everyone and all who suffer violence and injustice across the world, small scale and large
I am of the generation of this young woman's grand father and I can tell you we are immensely proud of you.
Obviously, wisdom doesn’t come with the age.
@user-zq7zb6ew8p Obviously. I know it's difficult to be elocuant in another language so no worries. No matter, thank you for commenting. You probably are a good guy, most people have good intentions right? But man, this Palestinian situation could have been handled better. Everybody loses the way Israel handled it. Everybody. That is bad planning, bad management and bad execution. You should not defend that.
@@RapaciousRaporter I defend the right if the Jewish state of Israel to exist, whilst “everybody” you are talking about do not. By the way, why are you speaking for everybody? Did everybody authorized you to speak for them? Speak for yourself - maybe you will feel more responsible for what you are talking about. Don’t hide behind “everybody”. “Bad planning, bad management, bad execution”? You have the opportunity here to suggest the better ones…. I dare to suggest that war colleges will study and teach Israeli army’s experience how to conduct the war in a heavy urban environment with minimal civilian casualties. Just like now they teach Israel’s military operations during the six day war of 1967. Maybe you are not a bad guy, but your ignorance of the history of Arab- Jewish and Arab-Israel conflict is on display. I can tell you that as a person who studies this for more then 20 years. Your ignorance makes you to defend the worst enemies of not only Jews, western civilization and basic values of any free society, but of peaceful Arabs as well. You should not defend Hamas.
@@user-zq7zb6ew8p🤡🤡😅
What is sad, people like yourself, continue to make the assumptions Any person who criticizes Israel or shows concern for the “plausible” genocide, somehow is against the existence of Israel. That is, perhaps, just one belief. The other is the possibility that many people do not agree with the mass destruction of an ethnic group of unarmed civililians. I, myself, wonder how a people who experienced a genocide, could commit such atrocities and try to justify by calling your critiques antisemites and silencing their voices by using the American justice system ? I have yet to hear Israel even consider what the world court and the UN have found to evidence of war crimes. Israel has long past used the “right to defend itself” when most of the damage is the killing of civilians
May God blessed you and your entire family. Thank you for your service and your effortless hardwork.
Bravo to Democracy Now for amplifying the voice of this person of conscience and patriotic American, dedicated to the rule of law. I do hope she goes back to State someday. We need her there.
Salute to Ms Annelle Sheline sacrificing her work over her principle for humanity!💚💚💚
She sacfriced her job for terrorists so she should be arrested!
Send her over to Hamas and then have her check back in a week
I’ve watched this many times. Moves me beyond measure.
Free Gaza, god bless you all🙏
Bring AIPAC to justice for legalizing bribery in the Congress
it was free. it committed genocide against jews. until you understand how evil that is, you are part of the problem
God bless you for being a human being with a conscience and a back bone! Your resignation speaks volumes. U ARE NOT JUST SOME PUPPET.
Wow, what integrity and moral fortitude. May God bless and protect Madame Sheline. A true example of a decent person.
Free Palestine
..... and free them all!
Bring them all here to the US, give them their own state. New Mexico or part of California?
All the Arab countries won’t let the Palestinians move to their countries. Egypt won’t even let them cross the border into S.Rafa. We need to give the Palestinian’s a state in the USA. Lots of empty space out west. Why not?
Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979. In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people. The existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel.
@@SamSam-ns5ix So, you’re saying they should have a state in Canada?
Remember Aaron Bushnell, he is not alone! Free Palestine! Stop the genocide! You are doing the right thing, Annelle. God bless you and God bless Palestine!
I watched this all, it was like spotting a beacon of hope among a vast dark ocean of desperation.
Kudos to you Annelle for daring to take this stand and for speaking out. Thank you Democracy Now for having her and all the other people who shine a light on the horrors, the inhumanity and the hypocrisy.
I am voting for Jill Stein. Thank you Annelle Sheline, you should write a book. Stop the occupation of the US by Israel.
Anelle should join the Stein campaign to fully right her wrongs - she could have resigned months ago, like the former arms dealer did!
I did not realize that she was on the ballot. Gee, I wonder why I did not know
@@jjutt87 honestly, she should right her wrongs?
Dr Jill Stein is the only anti genocide anti war candidate who wants to scale back funding the military industrial complex and actually address the plethora of domestic issues we face here in OUR COUNTRY.
@@joebondo2422 Jill is great. I canvased for her last time she ran. Marianne Williamson was on the primary and I voted for her. I do believe that she is like minded.
11:04 Thank you to the young woman who resigned the State Department. You speak for so very many of us who cannot believe the uncritical support for a nation who is consciously and openly killing civilians. It's not only against our democratic values and laws but so abhorrent and devoid of any humanitarian values.
Hero's name is Annelle Sheline ✌🏻
Matthew Miller, a state department spokesperson, is an example of a human being who has thoroughly discarded their humanity for what appears to be a means to protect their own privilege(s). Matthew is an enabler of and an apologist for the war crimes committed by Netanyahu and his allies. Annelle is a hero whose voice and concerns ought to be honoured. 🌸⚖
Thanks for your humanity and integrity
God bless you and guide you to his true path. A moslim
👏👏👏👏👏
Sold his soul.
Mind Begs the Question: - If a States policies are - Starvation,Death Camps,Pogroms,Gassing/White Phosphorus,Ethnic Cleansing,etc - Has the right to exist?
People like her make you believe humanity is still alive. Thank you Annelle, for standing up for humanity. ❤
She's from a country that people aren't hungry, and get paid by their government to stay home.. Travel the world and you will know that humanity has been dead ages ago.
It only took months of carnage & genocide before she said a word.
In a Zionist controlled political environment, I'd say she had enough and committed a selfless act.
She must have financial means to resign.
I apologise for my scepticism. But the USA managed to make a skeptic out of me.
Thanks Annelle for doing the needful!
Anyone who links the word genocide to Israel should resign.
The pain in Annelle's face is enough to make me weep.
👍👍👍
I did weep!
This is a woman of integrity and compassion. I applaud her courage. Thanks Annelle.
Anyone who at this point is talking about "Israel's fundamental right to defend itself" has not understood anything. Sad and disgusting.
no, the only people left who are still saying that are only paid politicians
And if you “understood everything”, enlighten people…
@@user-zq7zb6ew8p Not everything. But it should be clear that starving a million people and killing 30000 is an excessive response to the terror attack last year. I suggest you watch the video. They talk about it.
The occupier cant complain about the resistance

Thanks Annelle , you are awesome and decent human beings. We support you. God bless you.
Our admiration to you from the Global South Ms. Annelle Sheline! Bravo!
This is one of the reasons i cannot vote for Biden again.
With Trump it would have been worse!
Trump will continue to support Israel. Sorry he said so himself.
SAME
@@goettlingat least republicans are open about hating middle east people. Democrats are hypocrates.
@@goettlingWho said anyone here is voting for Trump???
The problem is the dual citizens in congress combined with AIPAC don't view Israel as a foriegn government. It's ridiculous and America citizens are sick of this policy and line of thinking.
make a change in next election. Vote them out.
Any country that allows dual citizens to hold political office is doomed. Any country whose elected representatives have to swear an oath to a foreign country is doomed. Wake up!
In terms of foreign policy, the US has long been the USI, the United States for Israel rather than the USA.
We need politicians not loyal to foreign government
So, who is an American in your opinion? AOC? Rashida Tlaib? Kamala Harris?
HUGE thanks Annelle for your courage! It matters. May your daughter grow up to be strong & righteous. May God replace that job with better & pour His blessings upon you & your family ameen.
Thank you for resigning, Aniline, your views are I'll informed. I wish you the best in finding another job.
See this Lady Really Represents American People.. 🇯🇴✊️ Respect for living her job..
No, she is not.
leaving...leaving! Not ....living. Jeez!
@@Monkey341please change your nickname as Monkey does not suit your IQ 🙄.
It's better late than never.
as an American I'm so proud of you and Aaron Bushnell//heros//what's going on in gaza is beyond evil.
👍👍👍
so, why don’t you do what Aaron did? Go ahead…
@user-zq7zb6ew8p that's too extreme. But still what is going on is wrong. So evil no words.
@@lisalisa1656this who responds to you is a zionist. This is a brave woman who has morals and principles. There is a quote in Arabic that says : a woman that is worth a thousand man
You're brave my sister .. God will be there for you regardless of how ragged the road ahead may seem to be💪🏻💙
Thank you Madam. From a human being in the South West Pacific.
