Easton City Council To Take Up Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Tonight

I can see it now. Israel stops bombing Gaza. Hamas releases all hostages. All because Easton City Council told them to knock it off. As absurd as this sounds, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be considered tonight at the urging of Council member Taiba Sultana. On her Facebook page, she has already accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza and has falsely accused Israel of bombing a hospital. 

I condemn the murder of innocent civilians, whether it is at the hands of Hamas or Israel. But should local governments involve themselves in foreign policy matter with toothless resolutions? It might feel good to condemn Hamas or Israel, but what does it accomplish? Neither Bibi Netanyahu nor Hamas is waiting with bated breath to learn what Easton thinks. I actually feel that this kind of meaningless resolution, on a local level, only serves the ego of its sponsors.

    Did Council discuss the Ukraine conflict? Asking for a Palestanian friend.

      Nope. Taiba doesn’t care about Ukraine

      Yes. Taiba cared. But the rest of the members showed the same kind of funky behavior.

    I think it’s rich that Jews are being accused of ethnic cleansing. These people are crazy!

    I can’t believe the level of antisemitism I am seeing in this country, especially on college campuses. Jews in Brooklyn were told to stay indoors by NYPD because of demonstrations. This is unacceptable in America in 2023!

      Muslims are also told to stay at home but then an Islamophobic homegrown terrorist entered the tenant unit a stabbed a 6-year-old Palestinian child 26 times.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
