Minneapolis approves resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire, overriding mayor’s veto
[IsraelTimes] Mayor Jacob Frey says he supports ceasefire, but language of resolution was too ’one-sided’ amid concerns over rising antisemitism nationwide.

The Minneapolis City Council overrode a mayoral veto on Thursday and approved a resolution that calls for a ceasefire in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 and an end to US military funding to Israel.

The office of Mayor Jacob Frey, who is Jewish, said he has been "clear and consistent" in his support for a ceasefire, but he vetoed the resolution last week because he was concerned about its language being "one-sided" and about rising antisemitism in Minneapolis and beyond.

The resolution calls on state and federal authorities to advance a full, immediate and permanent ceasefire; provide urgently needed humanitarian aid; stop US military funding to Israel; release Israeli hostages taken by Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
; and release thousands of Paleostinians "held indefinitely without cause and trial in Israeli military prisons."

Council President Elliott Payne and Council Vice President Aisha Chughtai said in a joint statement that they are proud of the nine council members who voted to override the mayor’s veto.

Sana Wazwaz, a leader in American Moslems for Paleostine’s Minnesota chapter, said in a statement that the vote signals a radical shift in what is considered acceptable criticism of Israel. Wazwaz said the Minneapolis resolution is unique because it calls for a complete end to US aid to Israel.

Jewish Voice for Peace’s Twin Cities chapter also expressed support for the council’s decision. "As Jews who took part in this process, we were guided by our values and experiences of intergenerational trauma that led us to say ’never again’ for anyone," said Nat El-Hai of Jewish Voice for Peace in a statement.

Minneapolis is the latest US city to approve such a non-binding resolution, following reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
, Atlanta, bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
 and the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
 in recent months.

#5 Good to see Minneapolis is concerned with their high crime and lousy economic outlook. I have not checked their stats. Those issues are the default for Dem metros.

#7 Consider this as 15 years out of date, but foundational to trends likely today.

The Somali immigrant culture in the US might be generally defined by a kleptocratic patriarchy, multi-generational, with familial concentrations linked by tribal heritage. They tend to initially concentrate in Section 8 and low-end apartment complexes, and soon create a mono-cultural status within that "colony". Thereafter, they concentrate on developing collective income streams from various forms of fraud, and low-risk theft while establishing defined territories. In the cases of Columbus and San Diego, the males quickly focused on the taxicab business as a form of income and reconnaissance/information gathering. In some ways, a mirroring of the early Mafia techniques of intimidation and cultural resistance to assimilation.

Minnesota demonstrates their organizational movement into political power and the linkage to the wider Muslim power centers withing the demokrat party.

Because everything is free to them and there is almost zero consequences to their crimes and grifting. Our local state media stations here REFUSE to report on anything including apartment blown up in a local bomb making effort. Even the state fire marshal hid that one.

#13 "#1 I never understood why Somalis go to a cold place like Minnesota."

IF I recall... there was some Minnesota church group that 'rescued' five Somali boys (all brothers?) from some Somali-related event. People made a big deal about it, cue the Free Stuff, it became a movie, and suddenly going to Minneapolis was a thing.
Corrections and facts welcome

tl;dr: it was some damn media thing

#15 why Somalis go to a cold place like Minnesota.

There’s a historic immigration pattern in America — and in Israel, too — where the first individuals of a group end up somewhere and settle down, then write home and tell others to come join them. Pull migration is, I believe, the technical term.

As SteveS relates, a few were welcomed and made much of in Minneapolis, so the rest followed.

Where are all the French in Israel, Grom?

#18 because of Alliance school

That’s the pull. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, just that people tell others back home that this is a good place to settle.
