Biden was my boss. I resigned because as a Jew I cannot endorse the Gaza catastrophe, by Lily Greenberg Call

There are an appreciable number of Jews who are completely against Israel’s war against the Palestinians in Gaza. From Lily Greenberg Call at theguardian.com:

Until last week, President Biden was my boss.

Last week, I resigned from my post at the United States Department of the Interior, becoming the first Jewish politically appointed administration official to publicly resign in protest – and in mourning – of President Biden’s endorsement of genocide in Gaza, where more than 35,000 Palestinians have been murdered.

    Dear Sir,

    When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build [sic] up from our own ranks. I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.

    Sincerely yours,
