Chicago’s City Council narrowly approved a resolution Wednesday calling for a permanent cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas, with Mayor Brandon Johnson casting the tiebreaking vote.

Chicago is latest U.S. city to approve such a non-binding resolution, following Atlanta, Detroit and San Francisco in recent months.

      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
