The Pentagon has removed Colonel Nathan McCormack from his sensitive advisory role after his scathing criticism of the Israeli regime. Colonel McCormack was the Levant and Egypt branch chief within the Joint Chiefs of Staff tasked with preparing senior U.S. military leadership for engagements with partner nations, including the Israeli regime.
Operating a semi-anonymous social media account under the name "Nate," McCormack posted extensively about his views, particularly following the events of October 7th, 2023.
The colonel's posts, documented prior to deletion, were sharply critical of Israeli policy and U.S. support.
In April 2024, he questioned the fundamental nature of the U.S.-Israel relationship, posting, "I’ve lately been considering whether we might be Israel’s proxy and not realized it yet," adding, "Our worst ‘ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ‘partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East [West Asia], Africa and Asia."
By May, he said, "Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies" have prolonged conflict for their own political or territorial goals.
McCormack pointed out that Israel's responses "always (always—not hyperbole) disproportionately targets Palestinian civilians."
I guess we can see why Trump's administrated had to remove him.
