Mayor Christopher Taylor is called a "racist dog" for his behavior against Palestinians:
See the video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROQB3mjQUso
The video shows Mayor Christopher Taylor and City Councilmember Jen Eyer being shamed for their actions regarding Palestinians, during the June 6, 2022 meeting of the Ann Arbor City Council in Michigan.
Mayor Taylor comes under heavy criticism for throwing his weight against Palestinian human rights resolutions, while Councilmember Eyer is criticized for getting campaign contributions from old Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.
Mayor Taylor's public outrage at Russia's occupation of white Ukrainians is contrasted unfavorably with his anti-Palestinian behavior.
Then at the end of the video is a gallery of opinion cartoons regarding the Mayor and his City Council.

Dearborn rallies against aiding the Israeli military - May 18, 2021
As Israel murders hundreds in occupied Palestine, and bombs 90,000 people out of their homes, Dearborn rallied to stop the slaughter. That number comes from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian territory.
This Dearborn rally, on May 18, 2021, was quite clear: "Netanyahu is a piece of shit" -
Very shortly afterwards, resolutions were introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate to block a giant sale of bombs to the Israeli government.
Very shortly after those resolutions were introduced, the Israeli government announced a cease-fire. That tells you something about the raw political power of these resolutions.

The proposed City Council resolution: “We are against military aid to Israel.”
To the Ann Arbor (Michigan) City Council: Approve this resolution -
“We are against military aid to Israel.”
That is the entire resolution.
You ask, "Why single out Israel?"
The U.S. government singles out Israel.
* Israel will get $38 billion in military aid over 10 years, which cannot be reduced by annual budget negotiations in Congress.
* An Israeli company is installing border surveillance across Arizona. Its surveillance drones transmit the location of human rights marchers, in Gaza, to Israeli snipers.
* Most U.S. Congressmembers, and most states, forcefully condemn even the most peaceful protests against Israel – the boycott, divestment, & sanctions movement.
* Ann Arbor's Mayor wanted to censure City Councilmember Kathleen Kozachenko for attending a protest against the Israeli President (Ann Arbor News, 3/18/1975, p. 29)
* As late as July 2019, Ann Arbor City Councilmembers panic when Israel is criticized – a panic which is simply unprecedented for any other criticism of a foreign state.
• This has freed up Israel to detain 10,000 Palestinian children since 2000.
• This has freed up Israel to gun down over 6000 unarmed Palestinian human rights marchers, just
since March 2018. Almost 300 of them were killed.
• This has freed up Israel to outright kill over 9600 Palestinians, just since September 2000.
• This has freed up Israel to build its arsenal of hundreds of nuclear weapons, hundreds of military
aircraft, and thousands of tanks.
“We are against military aid to Israel.”
That is the entire resolution.

"Anti-Israel protesters convince Ann Arbor to take up issue" of sanctions against Israel -
"Anti-Israel protesters convince Ann Arbor to take up issue"
Published in MLive, July 12, 2019
"ANN ARBOR, MI – After nearly two decades appearing before City Council and calling for a boycott of Israel, pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Ann Arbor are making headway.
"Instead of being met with the usual silence, they’ve convinced city officials to consider calling for an end to U.S. military aid for Israel, though opinions are mixed..."
