   Friends, this demonstrates the disconnect between the political-capitalist class and the rest of us. While a few Dems and Repubs are sensing the political, not to mention humanitarian, disaster that continued support for the Genocide is delivering, most of them will either persist in denying it, or will realize too late to make any difference unless we continue to act.

Congress Wildly Out of Sync With Voters on Gaza Ceasefire

by Walt Zlotow Posted on November 5, 2023

A recent Data For Progress poll showed the following voter support for immediate ceasefire to end civilian deaths in Gaza.

ALL VOTERS 66%
DEMOCRATS 80%
INDEPENDENTS 57%
REPUBLICANS 56%

Tragically, support for that ceasefire in Congress is a minuscule 2.4%, just 13 of 535. No wonder Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected any consideration of ceasefire. The bombings and invasion of Gaza will likely continue till its 139 square miles are ethnically cleansed.

Walt Zlotow became involved in antiwar activities upon entering University of Chicago in 1963. He is current president of the West Suburban Peace Coalition based in the Chicago western suburbs. He blogs daily on antiwar and other issues at www.heartlandprogressive.blogspot.com.
