dozen former U.S. government officials who quit over U.S. support for Israel's war in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday accused President Joe Biden's administration of "undeniable complicity" in the killing of Palestinians in the enclave.
In a joint statement, the 12 former government officials said the administration was violating U.S. laws through its support for Israel and finding loopholes to continue shipping weapons to its ally.
There has been mounting international criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza and of U.S. military and diplomatic support for its ally in a war
The resignations of the 12 U.S. officials reflects some dissent within the government over its support for Israel. Washington has pushed for the protection of civilians in Gaza and has called on Israel to improve aid access.
Among the people who signed the joint statement were former members of the State Department, Education Department, Interior Department, White House and the military.
KEY QUOTES
"America's diplomatic cover for, and continuous flow of arms to, Israel has ensured our undeniable complicity in the killings and forced starvation of a besieged Palestinian population in Gaza," the former officials said in the statement.
They urged the U.S. government to use its "necessary and available leverage" to bring the war to an end and to ensure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in Israel. They also demanded that the U.S. government support Palestinian self-determination and fund an "immediate expansion of humanitarian assistance" in Gaza.
Nearly 38,000 people have been killed during the war in Gaza, the local health ministry says, with many more feared buried in rubble as nearly the entire enclave has been flattened and most of its 2.3 million population displaced. There is also widespread hunger in Gaza. The war has led to genocide allegations that Israel denies.

Good!!!
Good. F them.
deep state muzzies
So what’s the problem?
12 useless former government employees that should be shipped to Gaza and be terminated by Israelis.
Looks like 12 useless eater Muslims n commie Federales are now ragging on Potato Joes support of Israel.
With nothing to say how Shiite maggots Mullahs of Iran are arming Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc to kill off Israel and setting the Middle East on fire. Shiite Iran’s real war is against the Sunni Arab Muslim nations such As Saudi and Gulf oil producers.
These insane Iranian maggots want to take over Mecca to rule the maggot ridden Muslim world. Mecca is their prime objective.
This is the Muslim version of clown world with is clow gawd called allah driving them all. Driving the maggot ridden sons of allah to eternal wars and eternal blood. allah is a war gawd that feasts on blood n more blood.
This what Hamas also says as it welcome more Muslim dead in Gaza for its propaganda objectives.
The Izzies had better be ramping up their neutron bomb production to hold back the hordes of maggot Muslim Jihadists. Drop two over the Hezbollah stomping grounds will happen.
Only 12 resignations?
How about 12,000 hamas-huggers get off the USG teat and go live in Gaza.
Colombo’s take on this: “OK, lemme see if I go this right... we’re sending them ammo, and they are using it, so that makes us complicit? Gee, I would of never thought of that” (scratches head, looks sideways).
When the Muslim hordes advance from Hezbollah Lebanon and Syria. Israel will unleash neutron bombs to stop them in their tracks. It will be the only way. Unless Israel wants to see thousands of IDF boys killed and grievously wounded in conventional combat
I predict this neutron bomb use in a year or three. Dropped on the Houthi pestilence too.
Do you think they intend that as a criticism?
It's a resume enhancer.
Names of these 12 officials. I want names.
Rooters. Bootlicking codswllop agitprop.
SPIT!
Yes, we should kill terrorists everywhere we find them.
I’m sure that these same worthless scumbags would be complaining about the US’s “overreaction” to Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor ... or the US’s “overreaction” to the attacks on 9/11.
Answer
Modern neutron bombs do produce less radioactive fallout compared to traditional nuclear weapons, but they still generate some fallout and radiation effects. Here are the key points:
Neutron bombs, also called enhanced radiation weapons (ERWs), are designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation while minimizing blast effects and fallout.
They produce less fallout than traditional nuclear weapons because they rely more on fusion reactions rather than fission. Fusion reactions generate less radioactive byproducts compared to fission reactions.
However, neutron bombs still produce some fallout from their fission trigger and can create radioactive soil activation products depending on how they are detonated.
The neutron radiation from these weapons is intense but drops off rapidly with distance, creating a sharper distinction between lethal and minimal radiation dose areas compared to other nuclear weapons.
Neutron bombs typically have lower explosive yields (under 10 kilotons) compared to strategic nuclear weapons. This inherently results in less overall fallout production.
The reduced fallout is relative - neutron bombs still produce harmful radiation and some fallout, just less than an equivalent yield traditional nuclear weapon.
Environmental factors like humidity can affect neutron absorption and the weapon’s effectiveness.
It’s important to note that while neutron bombs produce comparatively less fallout, they are still extremely destructive weapons that generate lethal radiation, blast effects, and some fallout. The idea that modern nuclear weapons produce no fallout is incorrect.

Pro
The resignations of the 12 U.S. officials. Was a start.
“...widespread hunger in Gaza...”
Ain’t that a shame. They could always eat themselves. /spit
“Nearly 38,000 people have been killed during the war in Gaza, the local health ministry says...”
Well hell, if Gaza says it it has to be true!
