Biden Officials Who Quit White House Over Gaza Slam ‘Disastrous Policy’ on CNN: ‘There’s a Dam Breaking’
Two officials for President Joe Biden who resigned over the Israel-Hamas war said there’s a “dam breaking” when it comes to U.S. policy in the matter.
Biden has stood firm in his support of Israel, but criticized the number of civilian deaths that have been caused. Israel has killed thousands of civilians in their strikes on Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the strikes will not stop until the terror group is wiped out. Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,000 and kidnapping hundreds.
“I think it feels like there’s a dam breaking. There’s so many people who have been working within the system trying to speak through the proper channels,” Tariq Habash said.
“It is a dehumanizing thing to hear from the president of the United States, someone you worked so hard to campaign for and elect and support his policies that your life is not valuable, your identity means less than other people’s identities and it’s OK that tens of thousands of people who look like you, and who have similar backgrounds and heritage, are dying and being massacred,” he told MSNBC in January.
Lily Greenberg Call, a Jewish activist who resigned from the Biden administration, aid the recent strike on Rafah by Israel leading to dozens of civilian deaths was an “invasion.”
“I don’t see how that is not an invasion,” she said.
