The unprecedented live-streamed violence in Gaza has forced a crisis of conscience for many government employees. From the State Department to the US Military, individuals have taken individual rebellious action to remove themselves from participating in a blazingly obvious campaign of controlled famine and collective punishment.

With Senior United States Airmen Juan Bettancourt and Larry Herbert.
