    Resigning From The White House: Choosing Humanity Over Politics

    Join us for a powerful and timely conversation with Lily Greenberg Call, the first Jewish-American Biden administration official to publicly resign in protest of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In this episode, Lily shares her deeply personal journey from a Zionist upbringing and a promising career in the White House to becoming a leading voice for Palestinian rights and a powerful critic of the administration she once served. Lily takes us through her political awakening, from her experiences on AIPAC-sponsored trips to her time at UC Berkeley, and the gradual, painful process of unlearning the narratives she was taught about Israel-Palestine. She speaks with raw honesty about the moral injury of witnessing a genocide facilitated by her own government, the weaponization of Jewish identity to justify violence, and the courage it took to walk away from her dream job to stand in solidarity with the oppressed. This is a story of profound moral courage, intellectual honesty, and the power of one individual to speak truth to power, no matter the cost. ‍Like to read? 👉🏼 Check Out these Blog Posts: From AIPAC to Solidarity: A Jewish American’s Journey of Unlearning The Cost of Conscience: Why a Jewish White House Official Resigned Over Gaza _____________________ 🙏🏻 Help Support SuperHumanizer? 🫂 Click here to join our Patreon community for perks like connecting with our hosts Dr. Hani Chaabo & Katie Bogen. 💳 Click here for a PayPal donation. 👥 Your support is helping build our team to create more humanizing content.
