Biden Administration Antisemites Plan Massive Walkout
Hundreds of Biden Administration employees are planning a walkout on Tuesday.
According to organizers from a group called "Feds United for Peace," government workers across 22 departments intend to walk out of their jobs to protest the Biden administration's stance on the Israel-Hamas war.
The group objects to Joe Biden refusing to send aid to Gaza (even though he did) while sending roughly $14 billion in aid to Israel, as well as military support. The planned walkout is part of a planned "Day of Mourning" to mark the 100th day of Israel's military operation in Gaza.
The New York Post has more.
The organizers of Tuesday’s expected protest told AL-Monitor they believe “hundreds” of other workers will join after staffers from 22 federal agencies pledged to walk out.
The workers include employees of the Executive Office of the President; the departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs; as well as the National Security Agency, the outlet reported.
Additionally, members of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Naval Research Laboratory, the National Park Service, the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency are also expected to protest during the work day, per the outlet.
“What you’re seeing with this effort is something very unusual, and that is for the dissent to be manifested via a physical act,” one organizer told AL-Monitor.
Here’s a toothless threat under this administration, but noble sentiments nonetheless:
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has issued a warning to any government worker thinking of walking off the job: don’t.
"Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,” he said in a post on X/Twitter. "They deserve to be fired."
Johnson added, "Oversight Chairman Comer and I will be working together to ensure that each federal agency initiates appropriate disciplinary proceedings against any person who walks out on their job."
This planned walkout is just the latest effort to compel Biden to change his policy toward Israel. Earlier this month, a group of Biden campaign staffers published an open letter on Medium urging Joe Biden to establish a "permanent ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas. They also demanded that he advocate for de-escalation, end unconditional military aid to Israel, investigate Israel for human rights violations, and "take concrete steps to end the conditions of apartheid, occupation, and ethnic cleansing that are the root causes of this conflict."
The letter also warned Biden that failure to change his policy would threaten his chances for reelection. Two Biden officials have also resigned.
Today’s news show who, and what these government employees are supporting:
Two Palestinians kill woman, injure 12 in coordinated Israel car-rammings
Two Palestinians launched a coordinated pair of car-rammings Monday in an Israeli city popular with Americans — killing an elderly woman and injuring 17 others.
The two suspects were arrested after the terror attacks in Raanana north of Tel Aviv, violence that left at least seven children and teenagers among the injured.
Witnesses claimed that along with the car-ramming, the two suspects carried out a stabbing spree.
“We heard the noise of a crash, like a car bumping into another car,” Eden Arzi told Israel’s Army Radio. “We saw the driver go to stab a woman, and she ran away, and [the driver] went and stabbed a 60-year-old man while there were a bunch of screams in the background, until he fell on the ground.”
The suspects were identified as Ahmed Zidat, 25, and Mahmoud Zidat, 44, both residents of the southern West Bank town of Bani Naim who were blacklisted from Israel after illegally entering multiple times, the Times of Israel reported.
The car-rammings occurred just as students were being dismissed from schools, officials noted.
