Jewish official in Biden administration resigns to complain about Gaza genocide
Lily Greenberg Call, special assistant to the chief of staff at the US government's Department of the Interior, has become the first Jewish political appointee to publicly resign in protest of Washington's support for the genocide carried out by the Zionist regime of Israel in the West Bank. Gaza under siege.
Call has accused President Joe Biden of using Jews to justify US policy in Israel's war.
In an interview with The Associated Press, the Jewish official pointed to several statements by Biden, including the one he made at the White House Hanukkah event where he said "if there was no Israel, there would be no Jew in the world who would be safe".
In addition, he touched on the statement of the American president at the Holocaust Memorial held in Washington last week where he said the October 7 attacks led by Hamas and 'causing war' were motivated by what he called "the will to exterminate the Jews."
Lily Greenberg Call has criticized the US President's remarks saying: "he is making the Jews the image of the American war machine. And that is a very big mistake," and reminded that his ancestors were killed due to "state-sponsored violence."
In his letter of resignation, the special official of the United States Department of the Interior said: "I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration while President Biden continues to support the Israeli genocide... what does it mean to be strong of power if you don't use it to stop crimes against humanity?"
Call becomes at least the fifth mid-level or senior US official to publicly announce his resignation in protest of the Biden administration's military and diplomatic support for the Zionist regime's seven-month genocidal war against Gaza, which so far they have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 35,000 Palestinians, most of them infants, young children and women - and the wounding of more than 79,000. Another 10,000 Palestinians are feared buried under the rubble of the blasted buildings.
This is happening in a situation where, despite continued strong criticism even within the United States itself for funding the killing of Palestinians in Gaza, according to two rounds of Congress, on Tuesday the Biden administration initiated the initial steps of the process of achieving another new plan for to provide Israel with arms aid worth one billion dollars.../
