Major Mann submitted his resignation on Nov. 1, just over three weeks into Israel's invasion of and assault on Gaza, but his separation from the military became effective last week.
"Even in the first weeks after October 7…it was really clear that they [Zionist Jewish Israelis] were prepared to inflict huge numbers of civilian [Palestinian] casualties," Major Mann tells Democracy Now!
"I understood that every day that I was going to go into the office, I was going to be contributing to the [genocidal] Israeli campaign."
Major Mann also explains how his Jewish background impacted his decision to resign, saying that while he was proud to wear the same uniform of soldiers who liberated Nazi concentration camps during World War II, it was "impossible" not to see echoes of the Holocaust in [Israel's] devastation of Gaza.
"Seeing photos of charred [human] bodies and burnt corpses and starved, emaciated children that are from 2023, 2024, not the '40s, it's impossible not to make that connection," says Major Mann.
"The situations are not perfectly analogous, but the moral similarities were very clear to me." [Nazis are known by their behavior not just their race, yet in this case, both are Germanic whites killing people they regard as dispensable.]
