A former U.S. military intelligence official released a letter on Monday that explained to his colleagues at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that his November resignation was in fact due to “moral injury” stemming from U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza and the harm caused to Palestinians.

    “The policy that has never been far from my mind for the past six months is the nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel, which has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians,” Major Mann wrote in the post, which noted that he had emailed his comments to co-workers on April 16. “This unconditional support also encourages reckless escalation that risks wider war.”

    It’s no small thing for him to make this statement publicly. I hope that him doing so does more good than the negative repercussions this will inevitably have for him.

    Also, I’ve not heard of the source so I thought I would share a couple more:

      Ground News is an portal service aggregator. It collates and organizes media by bias. If you scroll down, you’ll see all of the available sources, sorted by their respective bias. The initial blurb on the top of the page is generated from information that is found across all of the listed articles.

      Sorry about the inconvenience. I thought I copied the Reuters link.

        Personally, I am a big fan of ground news. I know that there is some discussion how accurate media biases are but it’s close enough for me and I generally lean towards Reuters and AP reports anyway.

          I tend to do the same. Sometimes I like to read far-leaning bias of the same article on both sides to see how far things get spun. I’m also a fan of the blindspot for catching articles that only exist for one side’s media.

          They determine bias through averaging the big three accredited bias sites, mediabiasfactcheck.com, allsides.com, and adfontesmedia.com. Sometimes sources skew outside their normal bias, leading to an inaccurately labeled article, but it’s rare in my experience.

        That’s interesting. First time seeing it. I only clicked into the link long enough to highlight a snippet and search for other articles. Never realized it was an aggregator. 😁

          Thank you. The word was escaping me and I just gave up. lol

          I’m a fan. It’s a helpful comparison tool. I’m usually more mindful about grabbing a source link before posting. I imagine it’s not what most people expect to see when opening a news link.

            I had to go back and read your post because my brain automatically assumed you were using the word “aggregator.” Sometimes my brain is pretty awesome with its autocorrect ability. Most of the time, the neuro diverse sack of mush just makes things worse. 😁
