YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAnnelle Sheline, research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, joins me to discuss her research brief "Under Primacy, Weapons Sales Will Always Supersede Human Rights."
She was a Foreign Affairs Officer at the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor’s Office of Near Eastern Affairs (DRL/NEA), before resigning in March 2024 in protest over the Biden administration’s unconditional support for Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Some quotes:
On human rights policy: "As long as our policy is driven by military primacy, weapons sales will always come first."
On Congress: "They’ve never blocked a weapons sale—even for Saudi Arabia after Khashoggi’s murder."
On Biden: "The hypocrisy was breathtaking… we became a laughingstock trying to advocate for human rights elsewhere."
