She later changed her mind after attending the notoriously liberal college of Berkeley, located in Northern California.

According to an essay Greenberg Call wrote for a May 2022 edition of Teen Vogue, her views began to change after meeting “Palestinian-Americans at school” and entering Democratic politics.

Call had worked for the presidential campaigns of both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

She is at least the fifth mid- or senior-level staffer to publicly resign in protest of the Biden administration’s military and diplomatic support for Israel’s now seven-month war against Hamas.

She is the second political appointment to do so, after an Education Ministry official of Palestinian descent resigned in January.

Her resignation letter described her excitement about joining a government that she said shared much of her vision for the country. “However, I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this government,” she wrote.

In an interview with The Associated PressCall pointed to comments by Biden, including at a Chanukah event at the White House, where he said, “If it weren’t for Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world who was safe.”

She also highlighted his comments at an event at the Holocaust Memorial in Washington last week, where he said the October 7 Hamas-led attacks that sparked the war were driven by an “ancient desire to exterminate the Jewish people.”

‘He makes Jews the face of the American war machine. And that is so deeply wrong,” she said, noting that her ancestors were killed by “state-sponsored violence.”

“I think the president should know that there are people in his administration who think this is disastrous,” Call said of the war in general and U.S. support for it. “Not just for Palestinians, for Israelis, for Jews, for Americans, for his election prospects.”
