During a tense meeting on Monday, the Denver City Council rejected an extreme Gaza cease-fire proclamation, much to the dismay of the city's radical pro-Palestine leftists. The symbolic proclamation, introduced in January, called for a bilateral cease-fire and demanded the release of hostages and humanitarian aid for those affected by the war between Israel and Hamas.

However, the council's progressive bloc's efforts were met with resistance as the proclamation failed in an 8-4 vote. This rejection of the resolution serves as a setback for the council's radical leftists who put their agenda before the concerns of Denver residents.

During the meeting, attendees became uncontrollable at times and had to be cleared from the chambers due to frequent interruptions. The disruptive behavior continued even during the virtual vote, with chants of "Cease fire now!" heard after the proclamation failed.

In attendance were advocates both supporting and opposing the proclamation.

Despite the attention it received, the resolution has been deemed insufficient by some council members who argue it would only create further division. Others cited the lack of respectful dialogue and protesters' behavior as reasons for voting against the proclamation.

One of the sponsors of the failed resolution, council member Shontel Lewis, co-sponsored the proclamation with Sarah Parady, calling it a responsibility to speak out against the violence. However, it seems the radical leftists had other priorities in mind.

The timing of the proclamation is also concerning, coinciding with an overnight Israeli airstrike in Gaza City that resulted in the rescue of two Israeli hostages. Yet, the radical leftists continue to push their agenda, ignoring the continued threats posed by Hamas.

It is evident that the message in this proclamation mirrors that of local far-left activists, who go as far as demanding the federal government stop providing aid to Israel. This is a dangerous precedent that could potentially weaken our strong relationship with Israel, our longtime ally in the Middle East.
