Chicago, February 3 (RHC)-- Across the United States, local governments are passing resolutions demanding a ceasefire in Gaza as pro Zionism sentiment continues its historic crumbling, under the weight of daily Israeli war crimes.

The third largest city in the United States, Chicago, also has the nation's largest Palestinian community, who were thrilled to see their city council pass a resolution demanding a permanent ceasefire.

Local city councils in various US states have passed ceasefire resolutions in solidarity with Palestine amid Washington’s unequivocal support for Israel.

Deanna Othman, with the group American Muslims for Palestine in Chicago, said: "We were on edge honestly for a while and the fact that it was passed is just an amazing show of solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine.  We know that it doesn't necessarily change anything for them on the ground, but I think that this will definitely put pressure on our government to hear though the will of its people in one of the largest cities of America and, hopefully, this will influence some of their policy and we will get a permanent ceasefire soon."

Ceasefire demands have been approved from major cities like San Francisco, Detroit, and Atlanta to suburbs and small towns, which are insisting on taking a moral stand.  Words like 'apartheid' and 'ethnic cleansing', which were once heavily censored in public life, are now being voted into the public record.
