Members of the Minneapolis City Council will be meeting Monday morning to discuss and also vote on a resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza after a weekend of demonstrations in the city.
The Free Palestine Coalition ended a week of planned protests and calling for a ceasefire during a Sunday event, when they marched from the federal building to senator Amy Klobuchar’s Office.
However, as councilors meet, there seems to be a divide between some of them and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

Actually they should probably enact a cease-fire in Minneapolis.

I'm sure that this resolution will put the fear of God into the Israelis and they will immediately call for a ceasefire.

Stay in your own lane, city council. Back to work on those potholes and failing schools.

Oops... sent too early
Where Charles Durning, as the Governor of Texas, was asked about what should be done in the Middle East, was to reply, "The Jews and the Arabs should settle their differences in a Christian manner."
Makes about as much sense as this. Plus Durning stole the show with the musical number that followed.
Sadly, the Minneapolis city council will not be as entertaining.

There is no way in hell that Israel will be negotiating anything with Hamas, much less a ceasefire

And you expected anything different from Mogadishu II???? And I'm sure Benjamin really cares what that funky city council thinks about the war, incidentally, started by HAM-ASS with the slaughter on Oct 7th....every time they get a cease fire they just restock the tunnels...Benjamin needs to completely eradicate ALL of them.

They are a city council and should limit their concerns to their city, and mind their own business when it comes to situations on the other side of the world.

Well, we know that even if they're incapable of handling all the crime and dysfunction of their city, when it comes to world affairs - they hate Jews as well.

The Baltimore city council failed to pass a resolution condemning Hamas. I'm sure the international community will totally listen to some city council in the U.S.

I am grateful to a post that keeps alive the memory of Charles Durning, a Great American, multi-talented performer, and war hero...silver star, bronze star and three purple hearts.

I heard a large Target office in Minneapolis is closing up and moving employees elsewhere, while numerous small businesses have abruptly shut down. The city council has no interest in fixing the city's real problems but wants to chime in on issues they have no control over.

Uhh, there was a ceasefire in effect on 10/7. Guess who broke it, and all the ones preceding it.

A lot easier to grandstand than actually do anything about the problems in Minneapolis.
It's also why they push things about global warming or other fake crises. An imanginary boogeyman is a lot easier to attack than potholes, homeless druggies, or fatherless welfare thugs roaming the streets.

As long as things remain "Proportional" I have no problems with it...The Palestinians already established the exact ratio of proportion when they demanded, and received, 1,500 lawfully arrested, tried, and incarcerated of their "warriors" to be returned in exchange for ONE Israeli soldier that they kidnapped and dragged back into Gaza.
Hence 1500:1 is "Fair"
Israel has had approx 1500 of their citizens killed or captured by Hamas, thus Hamas casualties need to be 2,250,000, just to be "Fair".
Each new Israeli casualty adds another 1,500 to the ledger of Palestinians that must then be offed..

And after that they will vote on a resolution to demand that the sun turn its heat down a little next summer.

Thanks so much, 20, for that wonderful Durning clip. What a treat, and it's been ages since I've seen it. I think I'll watch 'The Sting' tonight...for another side of this great talent. Mean as a snake.

They really should go farther to show solidarity with Hamas, it's time to formally change Minneapolis' name to Mogadishu. In 2018 they changed suburban Lake Calhoun to some unintelligible Dakota name, so they already know the process. And St. Paul should be ashamed for keeping a Christian saint as their namesake in these enlightened times. Go for it Twin Cities, become Mogadishu-Mohammed.

I’m sure Bibi will get right on that. Don’t these people have more pressing issues in their own sewer of a city to attend to?

Hey Minnesota Mogadishu City Council!
I suggest that you pass a Resolution DEMANDING that HAMAS stop attacking, murdering, raping, torturing, and burning Israelis!
I have not yet seen where HAMAS 'leaders' asked for or offered a permanent end to hostilities. All they call for is a pause so that they can re-stock, and genocide of the Israelis.
So MANY good comments! Thanks #18, I never knew about Mr. Durning's war record.
#31, Your proposal of 'proportionality' is Spot On!

Why stop there? Pass a resolution ending world hunger, homelessness, and then declare world peace. It will be a full day, but I am sure if you work through lunch, you can handle it.
