Commentary: Passage of the cease-fire resolution was a proud moment for Chicago – Chicago Tribune*

Rabbi Brant Rosen: "Given such a desperate reality, government resolutions — at any level — represent a refusal to remain silent. In this dire moment, Johnson’s decision to break the tie and cast the deciding vote was an act of genuine moral leadership."

Meaningless virtue signaling while your own house is on fire. What a crowning achievement.

These morons like Rabbi Brant Rosen (he/him) live in some alternate universe, where the sheep befriends the wolf and they all end up friends at the seder. It’s a delusion without any evidence. These people he defends hate his very existence and would repeat what the Germans did during the 40’s if given chance. This is not hyperbole it’s the stated truth. People like this are more dangerous for his people than Hamas ever is.

“A proud moment.” “Genuine Moral Leadership.” Wow. Mayor J needs to signal his stops…or the Tribune will be up his A#*. Did they have this much to say about the Oct 7 attack on Israel? I am so glad I stop looking at and paying for the Tribune decades ago. How about working on the “root causes” and a flippin cease-fire in Chicago.

It’s not the Tribune’s column. I respect their inclusion of an opinion column that took the opposite side that they did in their editorial.
