US Army COL Nathan McCormack, the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the JCS J5 planning directorate, was relieved of his position and is "under investigation" for making negative public comments about Israel. The field-grade combat veteran referred to "Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies" in Washington as having "overwhelmingly" enabled Israel's "bad behavior." "These pro-Israel activists in the US prioritized support for Israel over our actual foreign interests." COL McCormack has also bashed Israel as a "death cult" that is America's "worst ally." "The Western states go to great lengths to avoid criticism of Israel, much out of Holocaust guilt. Israel's actions over decades have prompted the accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies are determined to prolong the conflict for their own goals: either to remain in power or to annex the land," he wrote on social media in May 2025.

US Army officers like COL Nathan McCormack (and myself who is long retired) do not want to see our Soldiers die or get wounded for Israel. But for now the Islamophobic AIPAC portion of the Trumpf junta led by Sebastian Gorka and Laura Loomer have more influence in the DOD, DOS, and USIC than the regular white supremacist element in the MAGA movement. This abrupt removal and "investigation" will no doubt cost COL McCormack promotion to Brigadier-General (BG) and his career. Source: Link
