Chicago’s City Council narrowly approved a resolution Wednesday calling for a permanent cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas, with Mayor Brandon Johnson casting the tiebreaking vote.

Chicago is latest U.S. city to approve such a non-binding resolution, following Atlanta, Detroit and San Francisco in recent months.

    Like Jewish Voice for Peace do? Ask for a ceasefire I mean. Or as they say:

    URGENT: Demand a ceasefire now.
    Millions of lives depend on it.

    Also, hope you don’t mind when they say:

    WE HAVE A PLAN TO END U.S. SUPPORT
    FOR ISRAEL’S OPPRESSION OF PALESTINIANS

    Jewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.

    We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with Palestinian freedom struggle.

    If you’ve been looking for a political home for Jews on the left in this perilous moment; if you’ve been wanting a Jewish community with justice at the center; if you’ve been looking to turn your rage and grief into meaningful, strategic action:
    Join us. You belong here.

          Plenty of us with friends, family, and citizenship in Israel want a real solution, not just another ceasfire that will be broken by Hamas with a large missles barrage on said friends and family.

          I see all of these calls for ceasefire, but they always end there. No actual suggestions for a long term solution.

          It’s just dumb. It’s like watching a street fight and standing there and yelling “STAHHHHP!” It doesn’t do anything. Of course everyone wants peace.
