News - World: United States federal workers will walk off the job on Tuesday to protest the Joe Biden administration’s handling of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip as the carnage reaches the 100-day mark.

According to Al-Monitor Federal employees across 22 US government agencies will hold a “Day of Mourning” and walk off the job in protest of the White House’s unconditional support for Israel’s mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza, according to organizers.

Calling themselves the “Feds United for Peace,” the group’s organizers, speaking on condition of anonymity, are expecting “easily hundreds” of others to join in their walkout as they have secured commitments from staff at nearly two dozen agencies.

As per a list obtained by Al-Monitor, those include the Executive Office of the President, the National Security Agency, the Departments of State, Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs as well as US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Naval Research Laboratory.

Others expected to join in the protest work for agencies including the Food and Drug Administration, the National Park Service, the Federal Aviation Administration and Environmental Protection Agency.

“What you’re seeing with this effort is something very unusual, and that is for dissent to be manifested via a physical act,” the organizers said, adding that the protest action “grew out of a collective desire to do what we could to influence the Biden administration’s policy on this issue.” 

Anger has been brewing among US government staffers for the past three months over the White House’s refusal to demand an end to Israel’s genocidal practices in Gaza and to secure the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of nearly two million displaced Palestinians.

Israel's war on Gaza has so far killed more than 23,700 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
