More than 500 Democratic party staffers and alumni ofJoe Biden’s 2020 campaign have signed an open letter calling for the US president to do more to protect Palestinians and hold Israel accountable for its actions in and over Gaza, where a ceasefire currently holds.
The move comes amid a deepening split in Democratic ranks, between some vocal members of its progressive wing – such as Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez – and more centrist figures including Biden who have taken a consistently pro-Israel stance.
Biden has come under increasing pressure to take a firmer stance against Israel after the recent conflict in which more than 230 Palestinians were killed and dozens of buildings leveled in Gaza, while 12 Israelis died from rockets fired by Hamas.
The letter will add to that push and also reflects a more subtle turning point in broader US public opinion, which has become more critical of Israel.
The signatories write that they “commend [Biden’s] efforts to broker a ceasefire. Yet, we also cannot unsee the horrific violence that unfolded in recent weeks in Israel/Palestine, and we implore you to continue using the power of your office to hold Israel accountable for its actions and lay the groundwork for justice and lasting peace.”

Staffers. Whoop-de-friggin’-do.
So, Palestinians are to be protected since their rocket barrage was ineffective? Why doesn't this "news" source state how many rockets were fired by Hamas?
This is similar to the case of the attempted murderer getting a small sentence simply because they were a bad shot!
Democrat staffers run the US Congress..
Who works for who? This new generation is nutz to think that getting a job makes them the boss.
Just get a government job and we can all be experts on Israel.
500 Staffers??????
WTH...Joe thinks he is King of England.
Nazis
People honestly need to keep their kids the hell out of universities these factories of propaganda are destroying our nation!! Federal funding to these bastards NEEDS to stop!!!
“...500 Democratic party staffers and alumni ofJoe Biden’s 2020...”
The Obama cabal - the one’s running the WH in place of Biden/Harris.
They ought to hold Joe Biden accountable. The Palistinians didn’t start stuff under Trump.
And remember, 95% of the Palestinians are Muslims. Just up to their old cry "Kill All the Christians and Jews".
Those 500 are probably 35% gay and side with muslims who would jail or kill them.
About as much common sense as Jews who side with democrats.
Both groups are mentally ill.
Hamas is encouraged by idiots like this. Their enablers must share the blame for their barbaric behavior.
Mossad should hold Democrap responsible...
Of course the Radical Left Wing “Guardian” is giving them a soapbox. Of course.
Unfortunately staffers actually run DC and the media. Sleazy lot.
Yes, Since when to “staffers” represent the citizens? Oh, wait…
Yes, Joe needs to protect Hamas from the Jews.
These people are lunatics.
