Interior Dept staffer becomes first Jewish Biden appointee to publicly resign over war in Gaza

[All Along The Watchtower]

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Interior Department staffer on Wednesday became the first Jewish political appointee to publicly resign in protest of U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

Lily Greenberg Call, a special assistant to the chief of staff in the Interior Department, accused President Joe Biden of using Jews to justify U.S. policy in the conflict.

Call had worked for the presidential campaigns of both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and was a longtime activist and advocate for Israel in Washington and elsewhere before joining the government.

“He is making Jews the face of the American war machine. And that is so deeply wrong,” she said, noting that ancestors of hers were killed by “state-sponsored violence.”

A special assistant to the chief of staff of the Interior Department? Devastating. She’s got a high-quality name for the purpose, though.

People say that they want people in government to stand up and do the right thing, then minimize a display of conscience when someone does.

Good for Ms. Call.

The New York Post reports that señor Call is a chief engineer at Raytheon's surveillance division. They also seem to think that his job has something to do with the company's export of the Iron Dome system to Israel, which appears unlikely. Still, this is probably not the indictment that the Post thinks it is.

Schedule C appointees are so adorable.  I always liked them.
