    Controversy Unfolds: Federal Employees’ Walkout Sparks Debate on U.S. Support for Israel

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 7 Mins Read

    Good. But talk is cheap. Let’s see if it happens. “Speaker Johnson demands firing of federal workers reportedly staging pro-Palestinian walkout. – Tammy Bruce

    ‘Notice that the Federal Employees Walkout begins on Tuesday to extend their 3-Day weekend even further. How F**king Convenient. Fire everyone Damn One of Them’ said Stan Middlebrook.

    In a recent development, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has strongly criticized federal employees who are reportedly planning a walkout in protest of America’s support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas. Johnson asserted that any government worker participating in such a walkout is neglecting their responsibilities and betraying the trust of taxpayers, emphasizing that they deserve termination from employment.

    Johnson’s comments were prompted by a tweet from Joyce Karam, a senior news editor, indicating that hundreds of U.S. government employees are planning a walkout over President Biden’s policies regarding the Gaza conflict. The anticipated walkout involves workers from 22 government agencies, including the National Security Agency, the Executive Office of the President, the Naval Research Laboratory, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and various departments such as State, Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs.

    However, it’s crucial to note that a walkout by federal employees could be considered a strike, which is prohibited by law. Title 5 Section 7311 of the U.S. Code explicitly states that individuals may not accept or hold a government position if they participate in a strike against the United States government. Violators of this law could face fines or imprisonment, as specified in Title 18 Section 1918.

    The prospect of a federal employee walkout brings to mind historical precedents, such as the 1981 strike by air traffic controllers. President Reagan, deeming it a “peril to national safety,” responded by firing 11,000 workers and preventing them from rejoining the federal government.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson called for any federal employees who participate in the upcoming Gaza “walkout” to be fired. “Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,” Johnson wrote on the social media platform, X. “They deserve to be fired.” – Just The News

    Organized by a group called “Feds United for Peace,” the walkout aims to observe a “day of mourning” marking 100 days of Israel’s operations in Gaza. The organizers, who have chosen to remain anonymous, express their dissent physically as a means of influencing the Biden administration’s policy on the Israel-Gaza issue.

    The conflict itself stems from Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, resulting in numerous casualties and kidnappings. Israel responded with a ground offensive in Gaza, triggering a broader conflict. The allegations of state-led genocide by South Africa at the International Court of Justice have further escalated tensions, with Israel vehemently denying the claims and accusing Hamas of using civilian populations as human shields.

    This controversy involving federal employees is not the first time that U.S. government workers have become embroiled in issues related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Senator Marco Rubio previously called for an investigation into reports that over 500 federal employees, representing the Biden administration, signed an open letter urging the president to demand a ceasefire. Rubio argued that such a demand could benefit Hamas and raised concerns about potential abuses of their positions by signatories.

    To Sum It All Up: the upcoming federal employee walkout has ignited a heated debate over the United States’ stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict. As the controversy unfolds, questions regarding the boundaries of dissent, legal implications, and potential repercussions for the involved employees remain at the forefront of the discussion.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes federal employees planning a walkout over U.S. support for Israel, calling for their termination.
    • Hundreds of government workers from 22 agencies are expected to participate in the walkout in protest of President Biden’s Gaza policies.
    • A federal employee walkout could be considered a strike, violating U.S. Code Title 5 Section 7311, with potential fines or imprisonment for violators.
    • “Feds United for Peace” organizes the walkout to observe a “day of mourning” marking 100 days of Israel’s operations in Gaza, expressing dissent against the Biden administration’s policy.
    • Controversy surrounding federal employees and the Israel-Hamas conflict is not new, as previous reports indicate over 500 workers urging a ceasefire, prompting Senator Marco Rubio to call for an investigation.
