In the aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, President Biden proclaimed unwavering and unconditional support for Israel. But as civilian deaths from the ensuing Israeli bombardment of Gaza rapidly escalated, some U.S. officials spoke out against what they perceived as Biden’s dangerous blank-check support for Israel’s war campaign.
Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten reviews four of the senior officials within this group and argues that their efforts combine to influence and corrupt the official U.S. position on the Israel-Hamas war. Weingarten indicates that the United States should continue its staunch support of Israel and that it should punish and expel these dissenting voices within its agencies and institutions.
Since Hamas’ Holocaust-level attack on Israel on Oct. 7, the Americans have looked on in horror as Hamas sympathizers and genocidal Jew-haters have flooded college campuses, city streets and even Capitol Hill. Even scarier is how many people just like these ones sit atop our national security and foreign policy apparatus, and how the Biden Middle East agenda reflects it. Let’s talk about just a few of them.
Amy McFadden is the CIA’s associate deputy director for analysis. This longtime decorated and senior intelligence officer, who used to oversee the production of the critical president’s daily brief, is today one of three officials responsible for approving all analysis shared inside the intelligence agency.
Just two weeks after the Black Sabbath massacre, McFadden shared Palestinian propaganda on her Facebook page. She changed her cover photo to an image depicting a man waving a Palestinian flag and a Keffiyeh-pattern shirt. That’s a design disingenuously treated as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity, popularized by PLO terrorist-in-chief Yasser Arafat. According to the Financial Times, McFadden had earlier posted a selfie with a sticker saying “Free Palestine” superimposed on the paragraph.
This is a pivotal CIA official promoting a foreign political cause, and not just any cause, but that of Palestinian nationalism, right after Hamas’ Nazis executed a catastrophic and savage attack overwhelmingly supported by Palestinian Arabs and against one of our foremost allies.
