As human rights groups continue to call out war crimes committed by the Israeli military, we speak to the only U.S. diplomat to publicly resign from the Biden administration over its policy on Israel.
We first spoke to Hala Rharrit when she resigned from the State Department in April, citing the illegal and deceptive nature of U.S. policy in the Middle East. “We continue to willfully violate laws so that we surge U.S. military assistance to Israel,” she says after more than a year of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Rharrit says she found the Biden administration unmovable in its “counterproductive policy,” which she believes has gravely harmed U.S. interests in the Middle East. “We are going to feel the repercussions of that for years, decades, generations.”
Reality doesn’t care about what “jives” for you.

The most perspective-enlightening comparison is probably “By late April 2024 it was estimated that Israel had dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs over Gaza, surpassing the bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II.[4][5]”.
If that doesn’t fit your carpet bombing definition, I give up.
The normal definition of carpet bombing is dropping a ‘carpet’ of bombs over an area all at once. That’s where the name comes from, anyway.
If you’re just saying they dropped a lot of bombs, why would you want to call that ‘carpet bombing’ ?
“they dropped a whole bunch of bombs, yes, but nowhere did it say they dropped them all simultaneously. if the word ‘carpet’ doesnt fit, you must acquit israel of genocide”

Why would you need to lie about them carpet bombing civilians as proof for genocide if you’re convinced that’s the case without it?
