She came with ~50-60 activists wearing Palestinians kaffiyehs and holding signs saying "cease-fire" and "free Palestine" | We thank Mayor Wheeler for his robust response, and ask him to continue making it every time this happens again, and for the rest of the council to join him in this public education effort. He said 1. Long-term, a mediated agreement for peace between Israel and the whole Arab world is needed. 2. Performative aspect to your demands, in that you're likely to drop this after you get what you want, whereas I think we should continue discussion until a mediated agreement is reached. 3. We should also be seeking relief in other humanitarian catastrophes caused by war and massacre, such as in Sudan and Darfur, why do you seem to not care about those? 4. We are also concerned about anti-semitism, as are the rest of the Commissioners. | | | Portland City Council ^ Mayor Wheeler ^ [[https://www.portland.gov/council/documents/communication/placed-file/308-2024|Kelly Jane, representing Foster/Powell neighborhood association, calling for permanent cease-fire in Gaza]].
