An anti-Israeli protest outside a private residence has prompted the town of Superior to take unprecedented action.
Town trustees — including one who is married to a Palestinian — unanimously passed a resolution condemning protesters for “hate speech, antisemitism, and racism” against Jewish people.
While other places have seen far bigger protests, Superior is the first municipality in the state — and possibly the nation — to take a stand. Trustees say protesters have the right to hateful, even racist speech, but they — as town leaders — have the right and responsibility to condemn it.
“We typically don’t wade into these types of political issues in a small, little municipality,” said Mayor Mark Lacis.
