“LISTEN as City of Cleveland Councilman Michael Polensek, of Ward 8, goes on a racist tirade and further dehumanizes the Cleveland Palestinian community and its supporters.

This voicemail was left by the councilman in response to a push from community members to call their elected representatives in Cleveland and asking for a ceasefire resolution. Just last night, prior to the start of the Council Meeting, Council President Blaine Griffin announced that there would be no further discussion of a ceasefire resolution and that Cleveland City Council had come to an end on the call from the Cleveland community. This is in spite of all the popular support from the masses of Clevelanders that have showed up for 11 weeks demanding council take action.

Michael Polensek, who just in the past three weeks accused community members of bringing in "contraband" in the form of persimmons here goes on a rant about never passing a resolution before demonizes the Cleveland community that has showed up passionately for an end to the assault on Gaza. For 11 weeks, the Cleveland community has showed up consistently and entirely peaceful (which is supported by the fact that all the videos are recorded and are public record). We continue to demand the ceasefire resolution with our Palestinian community members despite Polensek and Griffin.”
