Hundreds of federal government officials have signed a dissent letter in rebellion against Democrat President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
Four hundred government officials from 40 departments and agencies within Biden’s administration signed the letter.
They are opposing the president’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war and demand a “ceasefire.”
The Tuesday letter was first reported by the New York Times.
It includes officials from Biden’s State Department, White House, National Security Council, and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The signatories of the letter remained anonymous to protect against professional retaliation.
The letter reads, in part:
“We call on President Biden to urgently demand a cease-fire; and to call for de-escalation of the current conflict by securing the immediate release of the Israeli hostages and arbitrarily detained Palestinians; the restoration of water, fuel, electricity, and other basic services; and the passage of adequate humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.”
Biden and other Western leaders have pushed back on calls for a “ceasefire” in Gaza.
They argue that it would only serve to benefit Hamas terrorists.
Biden’s administration has instead pushed for humanitarian pauses in the fighting.
Israel has agreed to pauses and has opened up passageways for Palestinians to leave Gaza and for aid to enter.
The White House has not responded to the letter.
So far, the only major Western leader to call on Israel to implement a ceasefire is French President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron later clarified his remarks on Monday, however.
He added that he still believed Israel has a right to defend itself.
The disagreement within the Biden admin mirrors friction within the Democrats regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Several radical Democrats have decried Israel as an “apartheid state.”
Some even argue that the war in Gaza is a “genocide” against Palestinians.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) faced a public rebuke from the House of Representatives for her comments on Israel last week.
Israel’s war against Hamas is coming to a head this week as Israeli forces surround Al-Shifa Hospital.
Al-Shifa is the largest medical facility in the Gaza Strip.
Israel says Hamas has entrenched its headquarters beneath the hospital, which serves as a human shield for the terrorist group.
Sounds like the ‘Arabists’ have complete power there. Hopefully Trump will send them home.
They can go to h-ll,with their “ceasefire.” This will be over when Hamas surrenders or are all killed. No more Hamas!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I’m 100% supportive of your position on this issue.
400 out of how many? A few million?
How the heck can you make an anonymous signature? What a farce!
Open war with Democrats.
Not if....but when?
The signatories of the letter remained anonymous to protect against professional retaliation.
signed wi an X???
Netanyahu telling Biden to STFU................
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Netanyahu would be making a terrible mistake to listen to anyone not fully supportive of the complete annihilation of Hamas and any of its allies involved in attacks upon Israel. Long past time to completely exterminate all of the barbarians.
Leftists are cowards........................
They “signed” a letter and remained anonymous? Gee, what courage...
The State Department, unfortunately, recruits from “elite” (read: Left Wing) educational institutions which have been “antizionist” (read: Antisemitic) for decades.
Politics is downstream of culture. American “elite” institutions are antisemitic.
These employees think they are special and better than the rest of us. They should all be fired,
Its what happens when you have installed, puppet leaders sitting atop a pile of bloated government factions and interests.
Everyone wants their own agenda and benefit.
400+ Anonymous? Unknown terrorists.?
Hopefully, Mossad knows who they are and where they work.
They can go to h-ll,with their “ceasefire.” This will be over when Hamas surrenders or are all killed. No more Hamas!
Bureaucracy has been the bane of every kingdom, nation and empire every since the Tower of Babel...............
I would send every last one of them to Gaza to fight for their cause then revoke their passports and put them on the no fly list

Excellent recommendation.
That is a great idea!
From the instant this went down, that has been the mode of operation: Triangulation.
I despise it with a white-hot burning passion.
The US government and thus the Democrat party is infested with anti-Semitic bigots and yet the FBI is still hunting white supremacists. Here’s a hint, look in the mirror FBI or at your co-workers in government, your fellow Democrats...
Not much has changed with the liberal Democrats. They have been the party of hate and racism since their inception. The Holocaust drove their anti-Semitism under ground for a few decades, but now that the WWII generation is gone they slither back out to practice their hate.
