Neither Mayor Christopher Taylor nor Ann Arbor City Council should ever again stonewall my resolution against military aid to Israel. They already have the blood of thousands of Palestinians on their hands, and Election Day is coming.

  November 6, 2023   My message to the Ann Arbor City Council:   First take a good look at your Mayor Taylor in my political opinion cartoon below - Neither Mayor Christopher Taylor nor Ann Arbor City Council should ever again stonewall my resolution against military aid to Israel.  You already have the blood of thousands of Palestinians on your hands. Don’t make it worse, because Election Day is coming.   I will tell you that to your face  tonight, Monday, November 6 th ,  at the Ann Arbor City Council meeting, during Public Comment, at 7:00 PM, on the 2 nd  floor of Ann Arbor City Hall, 301 East Huron Street, Ann Arbor.   I will demand that you put my very basic Palestinian human rights resolution on your agenda, and that you vote your conscience. If your conscience dictates that you stand with Israel’s genocidal bombardment of Gaza, then say so and resign.   Here is my resolution again:   "We are against military aid to Israel."   Aside from the gigantic death toll in Gaza
