    It’s not material support, so it’s next to useless.

    Imagine a small malnourished Gazan child, injured from the bomb that took out his home and half his family, provided by the United States. He learns that the same country that helped turn his “illegitimate” country into rubble and corpses, just named a road after his home of Palestine. He weaps a single tear, as he can finally die in peace.

    The council agrees and explicitly stated that this is performative and symbolic. They not deluding themselves that this is gods gift to Palestinians. It’s a small city of 24,000 people that doesn’t have infinite capital to throw around or influence any major policy, it isn’t exactly New York City or Los Angelos.
