On Sunday night, Americans were treated to a variety of spurious allegations promulgated by several former State Department employees who have made a vocation of insisting that no one will listen to them. Hala Rharrit was among them. Once a career diplomat who occupied several high-ranking posts, Rharrit left the State Department in April of last year to protest the Biden administration’s policies toward Israel after the October 7 massacre. Her righteous self-imposed exile notwithstanding, Rharrit’s non-stop media blitz and speaking tour on which she embarked in the immediate wake of her resignation has yet to abate.
Rharrit claims she was singled out for criticism, censure, and marginalization because she was willing to tell the truth about Israel’s monstrous wartime policies and America’s diminished standing abroad as a result of its support for those policies. But it seems that tidy narrative cannot survive first contact with a single follow-up question.
