The  NPR Newshour tonight reported on  Palestinian protests at city councils  and included substantial  discussion of what is  happening  in  Cleveland.   Check  it out at :https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/with-calls-for-a-ceasefire-protesters-pressure-city-councils-for-u-s-action-in-gaza .
As Hamas weighs a new proposal for a temporary truce in Gaza, protesters in the U.S. calling for a ceasefire have disrupted everything from commutes in New York City to a parade in Los Angeles. In cities across the country, groups have also now taken their fight to city halls, where in some cases, the topic is overtaking other priorities. Stephanie Sy reports.

If you only consume the Zionist - influenced mainstream local media, including Ideastream, you would probably think that the only consequential thing that happened there was council's adaptation of new public comment rules.  While that is very important, so is the statement by member Rebecca Mauer, which is not getting much media attention.

It was a great night to be there!


Just incidentally, Rebecca Mauer is Jewish, and she is an out lesbian.

The voice you hear trying to shout her down is that of our friend Alex Popivker.  Council President Griffin had to gavel him down.

Earlier, Popivker and his wife Sarah actually spoke in favor of the genocide, for all the world to see and hear.

Our speakers were excellent, and I think Rebecca's statement, though not the one I would make, is a very consequential crack in the proverbial dam, and should have gotten more mainstream attention.
