Why should a city in CA be debating about some foreign policy issue? There is n way they have any impact about what goes on in the Middle East. Even if I agreed with their views, I would think it was stupid.

The “proportionality” argument is stupid beyond the pale. Should the USA have taken 25 million civilian casualties in WW 2 just to be “proportional”?

You want to totally annihilate and obliterate the other side so he won’t make war against you in the future.

Small time city lunatics think they are a=for more important than they are. Little pissant tyrants.

Takoma Park, MD has outlawed nuclear war in city limits.

Right? “Hey! All you Middle East peeps! Stop now or we’re gonna pass a “resolution”! From California. From West Virginia and beyond!” Wtf???

Just when you think it can’t get any crazier… the politicians go there and act like they matter and are “getting things done”, you know, “for our constituents”. 🙄

And all of the pro “palestine” supporters who live in that district celebrate like it means something. It’s pretty sad actually. Drones and idjits abound

Right. They have not a penny or a minute to spare in coping with overwhelming problems of crime and the siphoning of budget funds by illegals. No time for this.

Remember some cities have declared themselves nuclear free zones by local council votes.

One:
A well-known nuclear-free community is Berkeley, California, whose citizens passed the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act in 1986 which allows the city to levy fines for nuclear weapons-related activity and to boycott companies involved in the United States nuclear infrastructure. The City of Berkeley has posted signs at city limits proclaiming its nuclear free status. The ordinance specifies possible fines for such activities within its borders.

Also
Arcata, CA (9/15/1989)
Boulder, CO (1985)
Chicago, IL (1986)
Cleveland Heights, OH (1987)
East Windsor, CT (12/16/1992)
However, In cities such as Palo Alto and Santa Cruz, Cambridge, Mass., and Ann Arbor, Mich., voters have rejected nuclear-free zones.

Hope the signs telling the Chinese, Russians, Koreans and Iranians to not bomb them are in several languages to be read from space.

Yup - super-woke Council presiding over a failing city, and this is what they spend time on. Stupid.

If that’s indicative of Oakland’s level of competence, it’s not surprising that they lost an NFL franchise and are about to lose an MLB franchise.
