The Guardian: US officials will go on hunger strike on Thursday to show solidarity with Gaza
The British newspaper The Guardian said that dozens of US government employees will go on hunger strike next Thursday condemning President Joe Biden's policy of supporting Israel, and directing public opinion to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip in Palestine.
The group preparing the strike, which calls itself "Federals United for Peace," includes dozens of US government employees. Representatives of the group have told The Guardian newspaper that, "On Thursday, its members will plan a one-day hunger strike, to confront Israel's policy of using hunger as a weapon of war against civilians by deliberately preventing food from entering the Gaza Strip." Gaza." US government employees who will participate in the strike are expected to report to their offices wearing black clothes, a keffiyeh (that is, a Palestinian turban) or other symbols to show solidarity with the Palestinians. The strike reflects growing anger among US government officials, due to the Biden administration's refusal to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, when Israeli incursions and attacks have already killed more than 26,000 people, and injured more than 65,000 others. Likewise, 1.9 million Palestinians have been forced to become refugees due to Israel's brutal attacks. Internal errors in the policy of the Biden administration became more apparent to the public when the United States increased its efforts to send weapons and military equipment to the brutal Israeli regime for use in the Gaza war.
