First Jewish Biden admin staffer quits over Israel policy: "There are so many of us who feel this way"

Lily Greenberg Call first told her parents what she planned to do, knowing the crap storm that would likely follow. Lily was the first Jewish staffer to resign from the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, Biden administration. [H/T Jewish Telegraphic Agency.]

Speaking to the JTA after watching her story unfold and hit the proverbial fan, Greenberg Call apologized for the outside noises, audible from her side of the conversation.

“I’m just walking outside because I feel like I needed a break,” she said.

Although she looks 18, Ms. Call had served as a special assistant to the chief of staff in the Department of the Interior for a little more than a year. For months she tried unsuccessfully to call for change within the administration over their anti-Israel stance and one-sided demands Biden made on the Jewish State.

“There were internal meetings and listening sessions for appointees, and I was very vocal at all of them and I was vocal internally with colleagues about how I felt — and I think it’s been very clear because there are so many of us who feel this way,” she said. “But it’s really just a small group of people making the decisions.”

Imagine, the Department held separate listening sessions for Muslims and Jewish staffers, likely telling them what they wanted to hear, just the way Biden pretends to manage.  “That was strange,” Call said.

For Greenberg Call, the separate meetings were especially dissonant and tense since she had been part of conversations that brought together Jews and Palestinians for a decade, starting in her high school days at San Diego Jewish Academy in California.

Greenberg Call's first reaction on Oct. 7 was to text loved ones in Israel to see if they were safe as Hamas terrorists massacred 1200 innocent people inside the country. Then she checked in with Palestinian friends to see how they were doing as Israel planned to not take the carnage without a fight.

She admitted that she suffered from PTSD when she was dashing to shelters at the age of 16 on a Young Judea trip to the Jewish State. Imagine how much dashing she would have done had she lived there.

Hopefully, Greenberg Call's resignation would be a wake-up call for Biden, but it's hard to awaken the dead. 

Unfortunately, Call actually believes that there can be a peaceful co-existence between Palestinians and Israeli Jews. I wonder what she's been smoking.

Paris' Orly airport shop locates Ben Gurion Airport in 'Occupied Palestine'

World Israel News reports that an Israeli couple who were shopping at a duty free store located in Paris' Orly Airport were disturbed to discover their receipt that was handed to them located Israel's Ben Gurion Airport in "Occupied Palestinian Territories." This was originally reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA).

Ben Gurion Airport is actually located in Lod, just south of Tel Aviv and clearly not classified as disputed territory, but you know how the so-called Palestinians think: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." So all of Israel, as far as they see, belongs to them, in spite of history, in spite of truth.

As it turns out, the incident occurred in October at the Royal Quartz store, which is operated by Galeries Lafayette, France’s premiere department store, and is not an independent establishment owned by some flaky Palestinian who wants Israel destroyed.

According to JTA, Arthur Lemoine, a Galeries Lafayette spokesman said the mistake on the receipt was being addressed after they received a complaint by the Simon Wiesenthal Center's director for international relations, Shimon Samuels.

But like we see in our own "mistakes" in the media, the "mistakes" always seem to go in one direction. In this case it's against Israel. In U.S. media "mistakes" it's against Trump or conservatives. Then the story/receipt is corrected but after it has done the damage.

In the past, France has required special labeling for products from Judea and Samaria, but discontinued the practice due to a discrimination lawsuit targeting the practice.

The campaign to label products from Judea and Samaria, portions of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights was sanctioned by the European Commission, which issued guideline in 2015 related to the practice.

France and the EU in general has become increasingly anti-Semitic, not that it's a new phenomenon, but it's certainly more visible. We Christians and Jews believe in the same G_d, the only difference is in the way Jesus is perceived by each group.
