Ex-Diplomat Kala: Biden Spokesperson Matthew Miller Has "Blood on His Hands" for Gaza Policy

Resignation Over Gaza Policy

• 💡 Kala, an 18-year career diplomat, resigned from the State Department due to the Biden administration's Gaza policy.
• 🎯 She was the first State Department diplomat to publicly resign and previously served as the Arabic-language spokesperson.
• 🌍 Her decision stems from core values of diplomacy, justice, peace, and equality, which she felt were being violated.

Accusations Against Matthew Miller

• 🗣️ Kala accuses former colleague Matthew Miller, a Biden spokesperson, of "careerism" for admitting Israel committed war crimes after denying it publicly.
• ⚖️ She states that as a spokesperson, Miller was expected to convey the US government's conclusions, not personal opinions, and that he knew he was lying.
• 💔 Miller is accused of having "blood on his hands" for knowingly participating in what Kala describes as illegal, immoral, and inhumane actions.

Global March to Gaza

• 🚶‍♀️ Thousands from over 50 countries are participating in a global march to Gaza to call for an end to the conflict and to deliver humanitarian aid.
• 🇪🇬 Egyptian security forces have detained and deported some participants, despite the government nominally welcoming delegations.
• 🤝 The march aims to show solidarity with the Palestinian people, break the siege, and ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need.

Criticism of Israeli and US Actions

• 🚫 The Gaza Humanitarian Fund is criticized as a propaganda and financial ploy, not a genuine aid effort, with people allegedly profiting from starvation.
• 🎯 Activists report that Palestinians seeking food from the fund have been shot at, indicating a systematic effort against the civilian population.
• 📢 The UNRWA Commissioner General's call for Israel to lift the siege and allow unhindered access for aid is highlighted as crucial to avert mass starvation.

The Role of Diplomacy and Public Pressure

• 🇺🇸 Kala asserts that diplomacy should not be used as a cover for injustice and that power to the people is now essential.
• ✊ The march is seen as a nonviolent show of collective humanity and a pressure tactic on governments to fulfill their responsibilities.
• 🕊️ The movement for Palestine is compared to the movement that ended apartheid in South Africa, emphasizing the power of people uniting for change.
