🔻Former Biden Political Appointee, Lily Greenberg Call, to the Guardian:

⭕️I resigned on Wednesday, 15 May – the 76th anniversary of the Nakba – because I could no longer serve at the pleasure of a president who refuses to stop another catastrophe.

⭕️My former boss is the person who makes me feel most unsafe as an American Jew.

⭕️The president of the United States has persistently corrupted the idea of Jewish safety, weaponizing my community as a shield to dodge accountability for his role in this atrocity.

⭕️I am certain that Jews are not better protected by a war effort, endorsed by the United States and waged in the name of Jewish safety, that furthers a genocide of a whole people collectively framed as “our enemy”.
