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

“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.”

“I think the president has to know that there are people in his administration who think this is disastrous,” Call said of the war overall and US support for it. “Not just for Palestinians, for Israelis, for Jews, for Americans, for his election prospects.”

Downvoted for linking to Times of Israel. This is a pro-zionist media outlet that spews misinformation.

For example, this article says "The war was sparked by Hamas’s October 7 onslaught in Israel, in which some 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, and 252 were taken hostage" and "The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 35,000 people in the Strip have been killed in the fighting so far, a toll that cannot be independently verified"

Everyone knows the war was started by Britain and Israel in 1948 and that the tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza massacred by Israel are an undercount, because it only includes the bodies found, not including the Palestinians buried under the rubble of buildings.

Also, the reason there's no human rights or international journaliat organizations in Gaza is because Israel denys most of them entry. The few that they allow-in, they target and assassinate.

Please repost this news strory from a legitimate source that is not a propaganda outlet.
