The Tribune Editorial Board fails to recognize the diversity within the Jewish Chicago community, many of whom advocate for a cease-fire in Gaza. Contrary to claims of Mayor Brandon Johnson merely appealing to his base, a recent poll shows that a majority of American voters favor congressional support for a cease-fire. The editorial's dismissal of City Council resolutions as a "waste of time" is tone-deaf, especially amid reports of U.S. munitions used in an ongoing conflict that has severely impacted civilians in Gaza. The International Court of Justice has highlighted a risk of genocide in the region.
The editorial board's whining that the City Council resolution is a "waste of time" is not only tone-deaf but also immoral. According to Amnesty International, U.S. munitions are being used to bomb areas Israel designated as "safe."
