“Fernandes Anderson, the first Muslim ever elected to the Boston City Council, covered her face as she wept during the meeting.”This week, the city council in Boston tried to pass a resolution supporting Israel, but far left members of the body objected. One member named Tania Fernandes Anderson offered her own resolution, which downplayed the horrific acts committed by Hamas and called for a cease fire.
The resolution filed by Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson calling for de-escalation and a cease-fire in Israel and “occupied Palestine” was introduced at a Wednesday City Council meeting in response to one filed earlier in the week by Councilor Michael Flaherty, who wanted to condemn “Hamas and their brutal terrorist acts against Israel.”
Councilor Frank Baker also slammed his colleague’s portrayal of Hamas as a “Palestinian militant group” that “launched a massive military operation,” saying he was “at a loss for words” after reading Fernandes Anderson’s resolution. For years we have heard Leftists chant “By any means necessary,” and for some reason, people didn’t believe they meant it even after the George Floyd riots in 2020. The takeover of city centers like the CHAZ/CHOP zone, the “defund the police extremists,” and the shouts of “No justice no peace” were ignored, despite the obvious sincerity. In fact, Democrats around the country embraced the riots, and Nancy Pelosi openly wondered why more didn’t happen.
