Ex-Biden Staffer Who Quit over Gaza Says Kamala Harris Must 'Chart a New Path' on Israel-Palestine

As Democratic support coalesces behind Vice President Kamala Harris in her run for the White House, we speak with Lily Greenberg Call, who worked on Harris's presidential campaign in 2019 and went on to join the Biden administration before resigning from her position in the Interior Department to protest U.S. support for Israel's war on Gaza. She was the first Jewish political appointee to publicly quit because of the administration's Middle East policy, part of a wave of resignations over the war. She says Harris must seize the opportunity to "chart a new path" on Gaza and overall Israel-Palestine policy. "People are watching, through social media, a genocide being live-streamed, and they're realizing that it's their tax dollars and American weapons being used to kill children — and they're not OK with it," says Greenberg Call.

Lilly - What an intelligent young and brave woman. Bravo for resigning over the Israeli assault on Gaza.

The problem is AIPAC. What can we do, as regular Americans, to help sever the strings of AIPAC from our Democratic candidates?

[CarlKaroub]

Thank you Lily I am in total agreement with you. I wish Kamala was listening.

"38 billion dollars in military aid"...how atrocious! That is taxpayer money and yet there is poverty, inequality in this so-called democratic and "greatest" country. Time to do away with civilian tax payments!

There is no fixing what Kamala and Biden allowed to happen to Gaza.

Same policies just a different puppet for the ones behind the curtain pulling the strings.

These people naively believe there's hope for good moral judgement. I have no delusions

[Everyonehasanopinion]

How is it that Israel is not heavily sanctioned by every country on earth??? It’s established that they are in violation of international law, do we no longer consist of countries based on law? Never mind, I already know the answer.

[franceslynch]

Wonderful Lily Greenberg. A humanatarian in thought and deed. A person of high integrity who is badly needed in politics.
I applaud this lady and hope she receives the recognition she more than deserves.💙💙

[rosecorley]

Yes she must break with Biden on Israel policy.

[stewartlowe]

WELL DONE ON YOUR RESIGNATION AND FOR STANDING UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

[artstrology]

We are not voting until we hear a concrete plan and steps laid out toward recognizing the ruling of the ICJ. We are a democracy that is not listening to the entire world.

[deirdremurray]

I pray that when she is President Harris she will do all the things she needs to do to stop this terrible genocide and will stand by the ICJ rulings against Israel. Netanyahu should be arrested for the war crimes he is guilty of. 😡

[feliciakamel]

She’s already gotten $5 Million from AIPAC for her campaign
