  • Every once a while we see someone like this guy who walks away from his paycheck on moral and ethical reasons. So rare yet heartwarming.

    It's really good to know that such honest and brave people exist. However, it's also sad that such people are not allowed in the system and must resign to be heard. What a corrupt world we live in!

    "A disconnect between our values and our actions" - spot on

    Thank you Josh Paul about telling the truth of the inhumanity shown by the Israeli government towards the children of Gaza.

    I am a Muslim and Palestinian and I really love to see comments of truth riddled throughout this comment section, I really wish I saw more of it.. Knowing that Josh Paul did an honorable thing and acknowledging it. More people in support of doing what is right for Palestinians.. for HUMANITY!! Speaking up for those who have no voice, it is a beautiful thing and may God Almighty bless and guide those who do!
  • @dianasaidy7503
    What an awesome genuine, compassionate and truthful human being. I love this man! May God protect him!
  • If only all of us could be that strong as this guy. The world would've been a better place.
  • @KalelAr
    What a remarkable and well spoken man. You can see his care for these tortured people of Gaza coming through and how fed up he is with a system that doesn’t hold Israel to account. He was grilled to try to get him to accept the Israeli defense narrative and he stood firm with his facts and experience. He has more principle in his pinky than those in power do in their entire bodies!
  • @ZubairKhan-vs8fe
    So much respect for this man. Wow. Such humanity in him. We need more people like him.
  • @michelaser
    Could you imagine what kind of a paradise we can have if we get Mr. Josh Paul in the White House?
  • @mariaglass2968
    International laws are very clear: an occupier doesn't have "the right to defend itself."
  • @mikeblack2uk
    Salute to this man for his humanity and integrity ..
  • Taking a stand for humanity and for his own personal integrity is so heartwarming. Total respect for this honorable man.
