Today, May 15th, is Nakba Day, which recognises the destruction of Palestinian society and homeland in 1948 and the displacement of the majority of Palestinian people for the formation of today's modern Israel. Nakba and Shoah, the Hebrew word for Holocaust, mean the same thing: catastrophe. I reject the premise that one people's salvation must come at another's destruction. I am committed to creating a world where this does not happen - and this cannot be done from within the Biden Administration. My choice to leave is not a reflection of this office or Department. I have felt supported by many individuals here, but I do not feel supported by the policies and actions of this Administration. I have the utmost respect for my colleagues at the Department who have given so much of themselves to doing the good work of preserving our public lands and strengthening Indian Country, and the many public servants across the federal government. I urge you all to take a stand for Palestinian lives. All of our futures depend on this. Respectfully Lily Greenberg Call
