The Minneapolis City Council overrode a mayoral veto on Thursday and approved a resolution that calls for a ceasefire in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
and an end to US military funding to Israel.
The office of Mayor Jacob Frey, who is Jewish, said he has been "clear and consistent" in his support for a ceasefire, but he vetoed the resolution last week because he was concerned about its language being "one-sided" and about rising antisemitism in Minneapolis and beyond.
The resolution calls on state and federal authorities to advance a full, immediate and permanent ceasefire; provide urgently needed humanitarian aid
; stop US military funding to Israel; release Israeli hostages taken by Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...; and release thousands of Paleostinians "held indefinitely without cause and trial in Israeli military prisons."
Council President Elliott Payne and Council Vice President Aisha Chughtai said in a joint statement that they are proud of the nine council members who voted to override the mayor’s veto.
Sana Wazwaz, a leader in American Moslems for Paleostine’s Minnesota chapter, said in a statement that the vote signals a radical shift in what is considered acceptable criticism of Israel. Wazwaz said the Minneapolis resolution is unique because it calls for a complete end to US aid to Israel.
Jewish Voice for Peace’s Twin Cities chapter also expressed support for the council’s decision. "As Jews who took part in this process, we were guided by our values and experiences of intergenerational trauma that led us to say ’never again’ for anyone," said Nat El-Hai of Jewish Voice for Peace in a statement.
