Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the Israel-Hamas war “genocidal” earlier this week. Yesterday, 55 people got arrested in his city for violently clashing with police. The protesters’ statement: “Dozens of people were brutally arrested outside the Israeli consulate by Brandon Johnson's thugs defending the genocidal criminals inside the DNC.” When will politicians learn that appeasing these protesters is impossible? They always move the goal posts, no matter how much you play into their false, harmful narratives. We need leaders who can withstand these pointless pressure campaigns and be voices for peace.
