Alexander Smith, a contractor for the US Agency for International Development (USAID), said he was given a choice between resignation and dismissal after preparing a presentation on maternal and child mortality among Palestinians, which was cancelled at the last minute by USAID leadership last week.
Smith, a senior adviser on gender, maternal health, child health, and nutrition chose to resign on Monday after four years at USAID. In his resignation letter to the head of the agency, Samantha Power, he complained about the inconsistencies in USAID’s approach to different countries and humanitarian crises, and the general treatment of Palestinians.
“I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race,” he wrote.
Am I bad at reading or did they get fired for reporting on war crimes?
If you’re given a choice to resign or accept a false statement, it’s a threat of firing.
Yup
No no. Not fired. 😆 They were told to resign. Totally different right? Lmao America needs a slap to the face.
Don’t they know that Trump would be worse? We all need to support Biden right now to stop Trump. After the election we can start to discuss if Biden facilitating a genocide is bad or not
He unambiguously would be worse.
A bunch of democrats ignoring the genocide would not turn voters away from Republicans, tbh.
Genocidal fucks like you are gonna be why trump wins. Biden is gonna lose if he keeps supporting blatant genocide, no matter how bloodthirsty you are about it
