The left is pulling out all the stops to pressure President Biden to force a ceasefire in the Israeli-Hamas war that’s now entering four months.
Feds United for Peace told the Guardian its members will participate in a “day of fasting” Thursday to call attention to Israel’s use of “starvation as a weapon of war by intentionally withholding food from entering Gaza.”
The group of anonymous workers at over two dozen U.S. government agencies has already held a walkout in support of the Palestinian people, citing unreliable casualty statistics put out by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry — the agency claims the death toll has surpassed 26,000 and more than 64,000 have been injured.
Those participating in the hunger strike are encouraged to wear keffiyehs, a Palestinian scarf that is being used in a show of solidarity with those in the Gaza Strip.
“Fasting one day will not save them,” Feds United for Peace acknowledged. “But pledging to fast, talking about it with colleagues, wearing a keffiyeh or other Palestinian symbols in public solidarity, wearing black as a symbol of outrage and mourning—these are things that can continue to raise awareness.”
“Participating in the Day of Fasting can entail a range of efforts,” the group said. “For example, some may choose to fast from dawn until dusk. If one cannot fast from food, Feds United for Peace encourages supporters to observe the day by helping someone in need, volunteering, donating to UNRWA or other relief agencies, or engaging in some other act of giving and remembrance.”
The activists claim that many federal employees support a ceasefire but remain silent due to fear of retribution.
