Metro Nashville Councilman Sean Parker, like many of his leftist friends, has demanded Israel stop its war to root out the terrorist network Hamas.
Parker should know the kind of evil Israel is up against.
“Ceasefire, release hostages, end the blockade,” Parker wrote last week on his Twitter / X account, responding to a post declaring that more than 200 protesters at a New York City Democratic Socialists of America rally calling for a #Ceasefire had been arrested.

Parker, of course, is a proud founding member of the Democratic Socialists of America-Middle Tennessee Chapter, the radical leftist organization behind pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel rallies in Nashville.
The group has claimed that “Middle Tennessee fund the Zionist military and contribute to the brutal subjugation of Palestinians.”
DSA has had a real hard time seeing the brutality of the so-called “freedom fighters” of Hamas who systematically murdered Israelis during a joyous Jewish holiday — the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
On Tuesday, the Jewish News Syndicate published a piece reminding the world what a barbaric band of butchers Hamas is — according to Hamas.
The story, headlined, “Hamas Terrorists Confess to Raping Jewish Dead, Beheading Children,” follows Israel Defense Forces showing foreign journalists footage of the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists during their October 7 assault on southern Israel.
The IDF this week published two segments from the interrogation of Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre.
One suspect said: “The plan was to go from house to house, throw grenades and kill everyone there, including women and children.” He also told interrogators that Hamas had instructed them to behead their victims.
“The purpose of entering Israeli territory… was to kidnap civilians; they want as many hostages as possible,” one of the terrorists revealed, according to JNS. “They [Hamas] promised us that whoever brings a kidnapped person will receive an apartment and $10,000.”

And then there are these admissions by the terrorists, according to the JNS piece:
Another terrorist talked about the instructions to seize Sufa military post and kill the residents of Kfar Aza, saying: “The instructions were to kidnap anyone we came across—elderly, women and children. We were ordered to kill everyone in Kfar Aaza and empty the kibbutz of its people. In one case we entered a home and saw another group holding the family hostage, they were using them as human shields so that they would not get hurt.”
Another terrorist who participated in the Kfar Aza massacre said, “We entered one of the houses; there was a woman on the floor, and then her dog came towards us so I shot the dog. After that, we noticed a man in the yard of the house, and I shot him with three bullets.”
Asked whether the man in the yard had been armed, the terrorist replied, “No, he was not armed. I shot him in the chest with three bullets when he was not holding any weapon at all.”
“Afterward,” he continued, “we roamed around the area, and we saw two adjacent houses at a specific point in Kfar Aza, and we burned both of them completely.”
The terrorist also told investigators he had raped one of the corpses.
Congress’ “Squad” members, led by leftist Israel-hater U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-12), are pushing a resolution urging the Biden administration to call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Israel and Palestine to send humanitarian aid and assistance to Gaza and to save as many lives as possible.
“The United States bears a unique responsibility to exhaust every diplomatic tool at our disposal to prevent mass atrocities and save lives. We can’t bomb our way to peace, equality, and freedom. With thousands of lives lost and millions more at stake, we need a ceasefire now,” said U.S. Representative Cori Bush (D-MO-01).
It’s not difficult to understand why Israel, surrounded by terrorists and state funders of terrorism in the name of wiping out Israel, isn’t much interested in ceasefire proposals.
Nashville’s Democratic Socialist city council member doesn’t see it. He seems to think a ceasefire will protect Israel from further Hamas terrorism. The people devastated by Hamas beg to differ.
Parker did not return The Tennessee Star’s request for comment.
