It is not America's right to demand a ceasefire. There was a ceasefire in effect on October 7 when Hamas attacked Israel. Hamas rules the Gaza Strip. They do not act in good faith. The pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party wants a feel-good action to look like they are doing something. It makes no difference.

"Pound sand, y'all. That's my interpretation of how Houston Mayor John Whitmire handled a demand from the city's Muslim community. Houston Muslim leaders issued a 24-hour deadline to the mayor in their demand that he call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
"There was a Thursday 5:00 p.m. deadline for the mayor to call for a ceasefire and Mayor Whitmire did not meet that deadline. More than 40 Muslim Imams and organizations threatened to boycott the city's annual Ramadan dinner. And, they threatened to remove their support. They said if he did not meet their demand Whitmire would lose audiences, business partners, and also votes. Nice job you've got there. It would be a shame if you lost it.
In response to questions Thursday evening, the Whitmire administration appeared undisturbed. "Mayor Whitmire looks forward to attending the event at the invitation of sponsors and organizers," Mary Benton, the mayor's spokeswoman, said in an email. When pressed, Benton added that Whitmire "is the mayor of Houston and looks forward to being there and being a unifying presence at the dinner."
"The organizers for the Ramadan dinner were sent a letter asking them to rescind Mayor Whitmire's invitation.
"The community feels ignored by the new mayor. " . . .
