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.

No, I mean like the city of Chicago. You know, the people this article is about?

My point was that people who have family and friends in Israel demand a ceasefire, and want us to Tell Congress: Demand Biden reinstate UNRWA funding, and have practical suggestions on how to act now ect

So having Chicago -amongst other cities- stand with them for peace, I think it's great move.

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.

No it isn't lmfao

Send your analogy back to Amazon it's broken

yes it is ROFLCOPTER

Old, out of touch, and advocating for Isreal. Color me the least surprising color in existence
