DENVER — Colorado Democrats on Monday rejected a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and condemning the “disproportionate military response by Israel” to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people — all familiar talking points raised in other avenues by activists seeking an immediate end to hostilities.   

In addition, the resolution condemned Hamas for the attack that sparked the war and said the group, labeled as a terrorist organization by the U.S., must be dismantled. The resolution did not identify the mechanisms to achieve those two ends.     

The state party’s central committee met virtually on Monday and voted against the proposal. Colorado Public Radio reported that it garnered only 40% support, while 55% voted against it. The rest of the central committee abstained.
