The Mayor of Orland Park, Illinois @KeithPekau's response to several residents demanding that the board pass a resolution for a ceasefire in #Gaza, is a thing of beauty! 🫳🎤 More here: https://t.co/ykbiCmvRYv
@AlxLndOMountain@furf@MayorShengThao@Oakland@OaklandEA@OUSDNews There isn't ethnic cleansing nor genocide nor apartheid. Arab Israelis have full citizenship rights.

“It’s working as it was designed…There does not seem to be any performance deficit with Omicron.”
