San Francisco Lawmakers Set to Vote on Proposal That Calls for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire
9th January 2024
San Francisco lawmakers will vote Tuesday on a proposal urging an Israel-Hamas ceasefire, as Bay Area activists insist failing to pass such a resolution would be racist and “pro-genocide.”
The resolution, which includes just one mention of the “brutal attack” by Hamas militants, cites the “armed violence” that has taken place since Oct. 7 and calls for “a sustained ceasefire in Gaza, humanitarian aid, release of hostages, and condemning antisemitic, anti-Palestinian, and Islamophobic rhetoric and attacks.” It cites the growing number of labor unions and other blue cities calling for a ceasefire as its justification.
San Francisco’s proposal is the latest high-profile attempt by a blue California city to wade into the conflict and comes after anti-Israel protesters have shut down the state Democratic convention, Sacramento’s annual Christmas-tree lighting, and the state assembly. San Francisco lawmakers on Monday spent nearly six hours adjudicating the resolution even as their city faces an $800 million deficit while dealing with crime, homelessness, and drug and economic crises.
Proglodytes are compelled by their sociopathy to stick their noses into everybody else’s business. It’s part of their self-identity.
