A very illuminating conversation with former US diplomat Hala Rharrit and Biden admin employee Maryam Hassanein who quit over #Gaza. They talk about an atmosphere of fear within the administration and diplomatic corp, Islamophobia, anti-Arab racism and dehumanisation.
According to Rharrit, when she included a photo of an emaciated Palestinian child in an internal presentation, she was attacked for it and reprimanded bc her colleagues didn't want to see it.
