Ald. Debra Silverstein, 50th, highlighted and harshly criticized a post recently made by Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez, 33rd.
The Chicago City Council’s lone Jewish alderman on Thursday said a colleague “crossed the line” and used antisemitic language in a social media post.
She called Zionism “building a strong relationship with Israel, and having a strong relationship with Israel.” “This is not in a vacuum,” Rodriguez-Sanchez said. “It’s very important to me that my child is under the care of somebody that cares about the lives of Palestinian children.”to pass a resolution condemning the attack
Silverstein listed several comments made by Rodriguez-Sanchez to argue that she has repeatedly used antisemitic language, including her use of the pro-Palestinian protest chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” In March, several aldermen tried unsuccessfully to strip Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez of his Housing committee chairmanship after he spoke in front of an already-burnt American flag at a protest calling for the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago to be canceled. The protest had in part focused on criticism of Israel’s war actions.
