"Feds United for Peace"

Dozens of US government workers will stage a one-day hunger strike to protest the Biden's administration support for Israel amid the war with Hamas.
Members of Feds United for Peace told The Guardian that employees from over two dozen government agencies - including the Departments of Defense and State - plan on a day of fasting on Thursday.
The officials participating will show up at work either dressed in black or wearing 'keffiyeh scarves or other symbols of Palestinian solidarity.'
They said they are protesting 'starvation as a weapon of war by intentionally withholding food from entering Gaza,' where more than 26,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the war began, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory.
1. Way to go out on a limb there. Fasting for 1 day will REALLY make an impact. At least go for 3 days to show that you are serious.
2. This is causing a disruption in the workplace. If a serious world, they should be punished or sent home for causing a disruption.
3. This is the same group that tried to organize a walkout earlier this month, that spectacularly failed. Then they tried to retroactively explain it was never meant to be a walkout.
