Subject: Opposition toAgenda item #19Ceasefire Resolution bycityofSantaAna Attn: Council member Benjamin Vazquez andJohnathan Hernandez, Opposition toagenda item #19bytheCityofSanta Ana CityCouncil This resolution isashameful example ofoverreach byanoverzealous Santa Ana CityCouncil, andreads more like apoorly edited Arab/Palestinian propaganda piece published byAlJazeera, thanameasured response toan injustice. Thewording oftheresolution itself, “SolidaritywiththePalestinianPeopleinsupportofaCeasefire” is problematic. Since thislatest conflict between Israel andthePalestinians concerns onlyPalestinians fromGaza, it would befarmore accurate tosay “Palestinian People ofGaza.” Gaza, asopposed totheWest Bank, has itsown democratically elected leadership - Hamas. Does theCity ofSanta Ana wish toalignitself with thePalestinian people ofGaza who through their active support ofHamas, openly endorse theethnic cleansing oftheJewish people from allofPalestine? Have themembers oftheSanta Ana City Council even read theHamas Charter? Does theCityofSanta Ana really want togoonrecord ashaving solidarity with anIslamist authoritarian regime that abhors allthevalues wecherish intheWest? The majority ofPalestinian people inGaza support themurder and/or imprisonment ofanyone who identifies themselves aspartoftheLGBTQ community. Does solidarity with the Palestinian people mean thattheCityofSanta Ana supports this policy? The majority ofthePalestinian people of Gaza areagainst freedom ofexpression andspeech that does notconform toIslamic law. Islamic lawasconstituted inGaza, does notallow fortheequality forwomen, theruleofinternational law, orfreedom ofreligion.
Besides mirroring anti-Western, andanti-Israeli Palestinian propaganda, thisresolution keeps repeating the falsehood thatGaza isstilloccupied byIsrael. Ittalks about releasing allthehostages, Palestinian aswellasIsraeli, without mentioning thatIsrael istrading Palestinian criminals, whoactually have committed some sortofviolent offense, forIsraeli hostages who’sonlycrime wasbeing ontheJewish side oftheGaza/Israel fence. Itkeeps referring toGaza asbeing “anopen airprison” asifthiswasnotachoice made bythePalestinian residents of Gaza. Italso falsely refers toIsrael asan “apartheid” State, asifthe2.2million Arab Israeli citizens who arefreeto vote, holdelective office, andcanbecome members oftheIsraeli Supreme Court, somehow donotmatter. Does the factthatIsraeli Arabs have more rights within theState ofIsrael than inanyArab majority nation suggest an alternative tothisfalse Palestinian narrative? Israel completely withdrew fromGaza inAugust of2005. The Palestinians who moved intothis territory immediately after, inherited one ofthefastest growing real estate markets intheentire middle east (abasic Google search ofNewspapers fromJune 2005 allthewayuntil early2006 will support thisfact). In2006, thePalestinian people invast numbers rejected thiseconomic windfall bydemocratically electing aterrorist organization with aplatform that promised toeliminate alltheJews inPalestine – “from theriver tothesea.” Itwasonly aftertheelected representatives ofthePalestinian people ofGaza turned their newly acquired territory intoamilitary base ofoperations inorder toterrorize their Jewish neighbor, thatIsrael wasforced totarget themissile launchers andHamas command centers deliberately embedded incivilian populations, schools, andhospitals.
With thisresolution, theCityofSanta Ana has taken anexplicitly anti-Israel position thatnot onlyiscompletely onesided, butgoes sofarastomisrepresent orcompletely ignore the factual record. Itmakes claims that appear tobe deliberately false. Furthermore, bydeclaring “solidarity” with the “Palestinian People” ofGaza, theCityofSanta Ana hadgiven tacit support totheelimination oftheJewish State. Just inthepast year, anti-Semitism has increased by 400percent. Those Palestinians who attacked Southern Israel from Gaza ontheth7ofOctober were barbarians.
Full stop. When these barbarians returned toGaza with 247 hostages, thePalestinian people ofGaza celebrated them asheroes with cries ofjubilation alldown theGaza strip, taunting andphysically assaulting these innocent Israelis astheymade theirway through thismass ofinhumanity. There isnomoral equivalency between thecultof death thatisHamas and theIDF, which warns civilians where andwhen they aregoing tolaunch anattack. There is nomoral equivalency between thePalestinian people ofGaza who celebrate themurder, rape and torture ofwomen 73 andchildren, with thecitizens ofIsrael, who arehorrified bythedeath ofPalestinian children that diedbecause their parents voted foracultofDeath torule overthem. Israel cannot befree until Hamas control over Gaza is completely nullified. IfHamas isnotwilling torelease theremaining hostages, there canbenoceasefire. The Palestinian people cannot befreeuntil theyare ready tochoose lifeover death. Astothisresolution being proposed bytheSanta Ana CityCouncil, itwillhave zero impact onevents inthemiddle east, orforthat matter, in Washington DC. Myreal concern isthatbygiving Palestinian propaganda aplatform from which tolaunch even more anti-Jewish hatred, thisresolution could have apotentially dangerous impact locally – notjustforJews, butfor increasing hatred within thecommunity atlarge.
Wewould love tohave open conversation with allthecouncil members foraquick dive intotheregion history and a general discussion ofthe situation because weknow youcandobetter than the “draft only” template resolution copy.
Thank youfortaking thetimetoread ourletter.

CONTEXT & HARM
JewsworldwidearestillreelingfromtheOctober7thHamasatrocities - thesingledeadliestdayforJewssince theHolocaust. It’spersonalforus: everyJewknowssomeonewhowasmassacredorkidnapped. Ifthatweren’t enough, manyofushaveexperiencedand/orwitnessedrecentactsofantisemitism, andweliveinfearof increasingly violentandunlawfulprotestactivity. Indeed, NaziGermanyhasbeenreincarnatedherein21st CenturySouthernCalifornia. Resolutions likeyoursencourageJew-haterstodomoretoharassandharmlocal Jews … andwhy? WeAmericanJewshavenocontrolovereventsthatinIsrael. None, whatsoever. So, your effortswouldincreaseJew-hateandJewharmbutwithnocorresponding benefit (asifthereevercouldbea benefitfrombigotry).
CONTEXT & INEFFECTUALITY
Ceasefireresolutionsmightbeatrendyfar-leftpublicgesture, buttheyaffectnothingintheMiddleEast.
Backstoryandcontext: onanearly-nonstopbasissince2007, Hamashasbeenlobbingrocketstowardcivilian areasinIsrael. OnOctober7th, Hamastookitsciviliandeathcampaigntoadiabolicalnewlevel. Itwasthe proverbialstrawthatbrokethecamel’sback.
Likeanynation, Israelhasafiduciaryandethicalobligationtoprotectitsdiversecitizenship. Giventheheinous newheightsofthemostrecentHamasoffensive, IsraelhasunderstandablydeterminedthatHamasmustbe wipedout. Accordingly, Israelhasimportantmilitaryobjectives: (1) destroyHamas’ warmachine; (2) neutralizeHamaspersonnel; (3) rescuehostages; (4) minimizeciviliancasualties (notwithstanding Hamas’ dedicatedhumanshieldtactics).

Dear Council Members,

Jews around theworld arestillreeling intheaftermath oftheOctober 7thHamas massacre inIsrael - thesingle deadliest dayforJews since theHolocaust. Many ofushave experienced and/orwitnessed actsofantisemitism directly.
Adopting aresolution thatfails toexplicitly condemn Hamas andthewaveofantisemitism thatfollowed theiratrocities iscondoning theactsofOctober 7thandtheiraftermath.
Theresolution faults Israel forawarstarted byHamas. Thelossoflifeandsuffering isfeltbyboththeIsraelis andthe Palestinians. Theresolution minimizes thesuffering ofIsraelis. 250,000Israelis have been internally displaced duetothe actions ofHamas andHezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240hostages onOctober 7th. This resolution calls Israel’s prisoners, many ofwhom have committed crimes including stabbings andbombing populated civilian locations, hostages.
Israelis want peace andaquick endtothewar. Aceasefire with Hamas, ashasbeen demonstrated repeatedly over time, willendinthespilling ofIsraeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders have indicated theirintentions tocontinue intheirgoalto eradicate thelandofIsrael ofJews. Hamas isthecatalyst forthePalestinian andIsraeli casualties. Thepeople ofGaza deserve abetterfuture which ispossible onlyonceHamas isgone.
Aceasefire would perpetuate thestatus quo, allowing Hamas tocontinue tocontrol andterrorize Gaza. Donot seta precedent thatcrimes against Israeli andPalestinian civilians paysoff, bysupporting thisCeasefire Resolution. TheCity ofSantaAnashould notinadvertently incentivize more violence, attheexpense ofinnocent Israelis andPalestinians.
While thisresolution mayhavebeen introduced withgood intentions, Ibelieve itwould harm theSanta Anacommunity andonly fuelmore hatred andconflict. Please votenoontheCeasefire Resolution.

Dear Council Members,

Jews around theworld arestillreeling intheaftermath oftheOctober 7thHamas massacre inIsrael - thesingle deadliest dayforJews since theHolocaust. Many ofushave experienced and/orwitnessed actsofantisemitism directly.
Adopting aresolution thatfailstoexplicitly condemn Hamas andthewave ofantisemitism thatfollowed theiratrocities iscondoning theactsofOctober 7thandtheiraftermath.
Theresolution faults Israel forawarstarted byHamas. Thelossoflifeandsuffering isfeltbyboththeIsraelis andthe Palestinians. Theresolution minimizes thesuffering ofIsraelis. 250,000Israelis have been internally displaced duetothe actions ofHamas andHezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240hostages onOctober 7th. This resolution calls Israel’s prisoners, many ofwhom have committed crimes including stabbings and bombing populated civilian locations, hostages.
Israelis want peace andaquick endtothewar. Aceasefire with Hamas, ashasbeen demonstrated repeatedly over time, willendinthespilling ofIsraeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders have indicated theirintentions tocontinue intheirgoalto eradicate thelandofIsrael ofJews. Hamas isthecatalyst forthePalestinian andIsraeli casualties. Thepeople ofGaza deserve abetterfuture which ispossible onlyonceHamas isgone.
Aceasefire would perpetuate thestatus quo, allowing Hamas tocontinue tocontrol andterrorize Gaza. Donotseta precedent thatcrimes against Israeli andPalestinian civilians paysoff, bysupporting thisCeasefire Resolution. TheCity ofSantaAnashould notinadvertently incentivize more violence, attheexpense ofinnocent Israelis andPalestinians.
While thisresolution mayhave been introduced withgood intentions, Ibelieve itwould harm theSantaAnacommunity andonly fuelmore hatred andconflict. Please votenoontheCeasefire Resolution.

Apart fromthereasons below, ifIsrael doesnotdefeat Hamas, these extreme terrorists willbecoming aftertheUnited States next. Please dosome duediligence andlookatthisfromahistorical context- Hamas hasalways broken cease fires- isanarmoftheIranian government. Hamas isanIsisorganization.

Theresolution faults Israel forawarstarted byHamas. Theloss oflifeandsuffering isfeltbyboth theIsraelis and the Palestinians. Theresolution minimizes thesuffering ofIsraelis. 250,000Israelis have been internally displaced duetothe actions ofHamas andHezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240hostages onOctober 7th. This resolution calls Israel’s prisoners, many ofwhom have committed crimes including stabbings and bombing populated civilian locations, hostages.
Israelis want peace andaquick endtothewar. Aceasefire with Hamas, ashasbeen demonstrated repeatedly over time, willendinthespilling ofIsraeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders have indicated theirintentions tocontinue intheirgoalto eradicate thelandofIsrael ofJews. Hamas isthecatalyst forthePalestinian andIsraeli casualties.

Idonotseehowthisresolutionservestheinterestsofyourown constituents, mostofwhomhaveanindirectyetspecialconnectiontoIsraelbecauseoftheirChristianfaith. Christians, likeJews andMuslims, shouldbeequallyprotectiveofensuringIsraelisasafeandsecureplace, wherepeopleofallreligionscanvisit importanthistoricalsites. TodisparageIsraelfortryingtokeepitscitizens (includingitsArabMuslimandChristiancitizens) safe isunacceptable.

DearSantaAnaCityCouncil,
IwritetodaytosharemyconcernsabouttheSantaAnaResolutioninSolidaritywiththePalestinianPeopleinSupportofa CeasefiretobeconsideredattheDecember5, 2023, meeting.
Theresolutionincludesinflammatoryrhetoricthatisdivisiveandone-sided. Itmakesafalseequivalencybetweenbabiestaken byterroristsashostagestoprisonersconvictedofviolentcrimeswhoarenothostagesbyanydefinition. Itusesinaccurateterms likeethniccleansing, genocide, andapartheidwhicharealltoooftenusedtojustifybigotrytowardstheJewishpeople.
Twothingscanbetrue: OurheartsbreakatthelossofinnocentlifeinbothIsraelandGaza, andtheworseninghumanitarian crisisunfoldinginGaza. Atthesametime, wecanholdHamasaccountablefordeliberatelyputtinginnocentPalestiniansin harm’swayinpursuitoftheirnefariousgoals.
TheproposedceasefireresolutiondistortsthefactsanddoesnotincludeaforcefulcondemnationofHamasoritsterroristattack onIsraelonOctober7. Itweaponizesthephrase “NeverAgain” andreferencestheHolocaustinawaythatisinsultingtothe6 millionJewsandcountlessotherswhoweresystematicallymurderedbytheNaziregime. Andmostinsultingisthatthe 68 resolution “vowstocombatantisemitism” whileitactuallypromotesandamplifiesit.

1 DearSantaAnaCityCouncil,
Iamnotsurprised – butIamverydisturbed tosee – justhowfartheproposed Resolution “InSolidarity with thePalestinian PeopleinSupportofaCeasefire” repeatshackneyed canards, displaysalackofhistorical knowledge, distorts factsintheserviceofblindandblindinganti-Zionism. Itsverytitle (whichdoesnotread insupportofthePalestinian andIsraelipeople”) atteststoitsprejudice, itsintentions, itsagenda.
Iurgeyoutodefeatthisproposed Resolution. Following theorderoftheproposed Resolution, Iwilladdress itsclaims.
Theproposed Resolution references “arelentless andongoing campaign ofairstrikes onthepeopleofGaza.” Israel isnotbombing “thepeopleofGaza.” Israel isbombing Hamas. Hamas, usingthepeople ofGazaas humanshields, isresponsible foreachandeverydeath, everydismemberment, everyinjury.
TheIsraeliDefenseForcewarns thepeopleofGazaofupcoming bombings. Extraordinary! Hamasprevents the people ofGaza fromevacuating aHamas-createdcombat zone. HamasholdsthewholecivilianGazan population hostage. Atthe riskofitsownsoldiers, theIDFprovidesprotection forfleeingrefugees — protection fromHamas!
IsraeldoesnotoccupyGaza. Israelwithdrew fromGazain2005. Israelhasnocitizens, nopolice, noarmy, no court, nojudgeinGaza. Theproposed Resolution needbeatleasthistorically, geo-politically accurate.
Astotheblockade, shouldIsraelstandidlybywhileHamas shipsintoGazatonsofweapons, including missiles tofireatIsrael? Theproposed Resolution isnaiveintheextreme.
Theproposed Resolution useshideously inflammatory, propagandistic language todistortreality. Israelis simplynotanapartheid state. (seemyarticleinTheAlgemeiner ofJanuary122021, “WhoseHumanRights? BDSIsAntisemitic andHarmsPalestinians”). Theproposed Resolution, inassuming suchunsubstantiated claimsofapartheid, fallspreytoslanderous tropes. Itperpetuates them.
Theproposed Resolution cites “UNreports” claiming thatIsrael’sbombinghasdisplaced 1.6million Palestinians. th Itsaysnothingabouttheestimated 250,000Israelis displaced bytheOct. 7 terroristattackand bythe continuing onslaught of missileattacks fromGazaandfromHezbollah. Thiskindofselective information constitutes asinofomission. Notsurprisingly, itspeaksofonesuffering; itignores theother. This rhetorical manipulation beliesahiddenagenda.
If, inthesloganeering language oftheproposed Resolution, Gazaistheworld’s “largestopen-airprison,” who madeitso? Israeldidnotcreate thenecessityofthe “enclosure ofGaza’s borders.” Hamas’srelentless aggression againstIsraelbuiltthoseconcrete walls, thosebarbedwirefences.
Theproposed Resolution pointstoGazans’ dependence onhumanitarian aid, citingalarming percentages of shortfalls. Placedasthesestatistics areamidstanaccusatory listofIsrael’sculpabilities forGaza’ssuffering, one canonlyconclude theProposal blames IsraelforallofGaza’ssuffering. Itdoesnotmention thenumberof trucksnormally enteringGazadaily, carrying supplies suchasconcrete andfuel – stolenfromtheGazansby Hamas. Itdoesnotmention theinnovative IsraeliwaterprojectsgiventoGaza. Itomitseverything butblame placedonIsrael.
TheProposal goeson, inthenexttwoparagraphs, toaccuseIsraelofthewarcrimeofcollective punishment.
Isuggest thatinternational warcrimeattorneysandscholarsbegiventheopportunity toadviseyou. Itcertainly isawarcrimetopurposefully, cynically, brutally, andwithoutremorsekill, rape, murderwhileraping, burn alive, andabductcivilianmen, women andchildren. Itisawarcrimetothentorunandhidebehindcivilian humanshields. Itisawarcrimetouseaplaceofhealing, ahospital, oraplaceofworship, amosque, ora placeofeducation, aschooltohide. Itisnearlyunbearably painfultoseesuchdestruction, towitnesssomany sufferastheGazanpeoplearesuffering. ButdarenotcallitanIsraeliwarcrime! Callitasitis: aHamaswar crime.
TheInternational CriminalCourt (ICC) prosecutor, KarimKhan, afterarecentvisittoIsraelandtothe Palestinian Authority, saidthat “theattacks againstinnocent Israeli civiliansonOctober 7represent someof themostserious international crimes thatshocktheconscience ofhumanity….Therecanbenojustification fortheholdingofanyhostages, andinparticulartheegregious breachoffundamental principles ofhumanity throughthetakingand continued holdingofchildren. Hostages cannotbetreatedashumanshieldsor bargaining chips.”
Mr. Khanwentontosay, “Conflict indenselypopulated areaswherefightersareallegedtobeunlawfully embedded inthecivilian population isinherently complex, butinternational humanitarian lawmuststillapply andtheIsraelimilitary knowsthelawthatmustbeapplied….Israelhastrainedlawyerswhoadvisecommanders andarobustsystemintended toensure compliance withinternational humanitarian law.” Isitawarcrime – asIsraeldid – toprovide incubators withwhichtoevacuate premature babiesfrom Shifa hospital? Isitawarcrimetourgecivilianstoevacuateanupcoming battlezone – evenattheriskofone’sown troops? IsitawarcrimethatIsraelprovided fueltoShifahospital? Theproposed Resolution speaksof “ethniccleansing.” Tosupportthataccusation theproposed Resolution claimsthatIsraelileadersusesuchlanguage as “humananimals.” Theproposed Resolution doesn’tclarifythat thatlanguage isdirected – notatGazansorPalestinians – butattheOctober7terrorists. Isitaninappropriate appellation forthosewhoengageinmurder, rape, burningofbabiesalive? DonotspeakofanIsraelipolicyof ethniccleansing” withoutirrefutable evidence. ToclaimtheIsraeligovernment planstoethnically cleanse GazaofPalestinians, theproposed Resolution mustprovideacitedreference orbeseenasdangerously inflammatory butemptyrhetoric.
However, Article7oftheHamasCharterof1988doescallonMoslems to “fightJewsandkillthem.” Similarly, donotusetheword “genocide” lightlyandloosely, withoutevidence. Itisahideous – unfounded – accusation.
Theproposed Resolution raisestheissueof increased violence intheWestBank. Again, itabrogates responsibility innotmentioning Palestinian violence andthekillingofIsraelis inIsrael. Nordoesitmention howmanyPalestinian deathsresulted fromPalestinian-initiatedfirefights during legalarrestsofsuspected terrorists. Nordoesitplaceanyresponsibility onHamas, onlyonIsrael.
Theproposed Resolution beginsaturntowardatrulyhumanitarian visionwhenitaffirmsthat “wemournthe lossofallcivilian lives….” However, itreturnstounfounded one-sidedblame: “throughout thedecadesof displacement, occupation, oppression andblockade endured inGazaandtheWestBank.” Ihavediscussed the blockade above. Therestofthis assumesabiaswhichignoreshistoryandinternational law indismissing decadesofIsraelisuffering fromPalestinian aggression. Attheveryleast, Gazaisnot “occupied” (arguably, neitheristheWestBank).
Werethisproposed Resolution aimedatpeace, itwouldhavemywholehearted support. Itsrhetoricnow enflames thepassionsofhatred, and, inparticular, ofantisemitism. Itwillserveourcommunities – inneedof calm – withaninfluence toviolence. Antisemitic incidents havebeenrising atalarming rates. TheSantaAna CityCouncildoesnotwanttoexacerbate thisbycontributing apublicdocument voicinginaccuracies, using extremely inflammatory rhetoric, creating misperceptions. Thesafetyofmyselfandmyfamilyandmy community dependonyouraction. Yes, civilviolence hasincreased intheWestBankandinIsrael, 7500miles fromSantaAna. Let’smakesurewedon’tcontribute tothathere. Let’scontribute topeace.

Theresolutionincludes inflammatory rhetoric thatisdivisiveandone-sided. Itmakesafalseequivalency betweenbabies taken byterrorists ashostages toprisoners convictedofviolentcrimeswhoarenothostages byanydefinition. Itusesinaccurateterms likeethniccleansing, genocide, andapartheid whicharealltoooftenusedtojustifybigotrytowards theJewishpeople.
Twothingscanbetrue: OurheartsbreakatthelossofinnocentlifeinbothIsraelandGaza, andtheworseninghumanitarian crisisunfoldinginGaza. Atthesametime, wecanholdHamasaccountablefordeliberately puttinginnocentPalestinians in harm’swayinpursuitoftheirnefariousgoals.
Theproposedceasefireresolutiondistorts thefactsanddoesnotincludeaforceful condemnation ofHamasoritsterroristattack onIsraelonOctober7. Itweaponizes thephrase “NeverAgain” andreferences theHolocaustinawaythatisinsultingtothe6 millionJewsandcountless otherswhoweresystematically murderedbytheNaziregime.

Hamas invaded Israel after yearsoflaunching thousands ofrockets atIsraeli civilians. October 7was thelargest attack against theJewish people since theholocaust. Itsbarbarity andcruelty isbeyond whatcanbeimagined:
people burned alive, cutting bodyparts offbefore killing people, gangrapesofwomen andchildren thatcaused broken pelvises, and240people being kidnapped.
Israel vowed todestroy thisterror organization, liketheUnited States didtoAl-Qaeda. Itisbeyond measto whyyouwant toreward themwithacease-fire. Whynotdemand thereturnofthehostages? Hamas hasused cease-firesmany times inthepasttorearm. There wasacease-fireinplace onOctober 6, buttheybroke itwith devastating results. They have vowed torepeat thedepraved attack ofOctober 7 “again andagain andagain.” Hamas putsPalestinians directly inthelineoffire. They killpolitical opponents. Their attacks causePalestinian deaths. TostopIsrael istocausemore death onbothsides.

Iamurging younottopassanyordinances similar totheones inOakland. Instead ofpromoting peace, youare considering making Jewish people theother, similar toduring theHolocaust. Theresolution passed inOakland andthelanguage usedintheteachings theyareplanning areoutright propaganda andafalsenarrative.
People should beagainst theterrorist group Hamas butseem tobelostintheirantisemitism andIurgeyounot toperpetuate itfurther. ThePalestinian people willbeable tothrive once Hamas isnolonger oppressing them andusing themashuman shields. Theatrocities thattookplace onOctober 7tharetobecondemned andnot celebrated.

DearSantaAnaCityCouncil,
Iwritetodaytosharemyconcerns abouttheSantaAnaResolutioninSolidarity withthePalestinian PeopleinSupportofa CeasefiretobeconsideredattheDecember 5, 2023, meeting.
Theresolutionincludes inflammatory rhetoric thatisdivisiveandone-sided. Itmakesafalseequivalency betweenbabies taken byterrorists ashostages toprisoners convictedofviolentcrimeswhoarenothostages byanydefinition. Itusesinaccurateterms likeethniccleansing, genocide, andapartheid whicharealltoooftenusedtojustifybigotrytowards theJewishpeople.
Twothingscanbetrue: OurheartsbreakatthelossofinnocentlifeinbothIsraelandGaza, andtheworseninghumanitarian crisisunfoldinginGaza. Atthesametime, wecanholdHamasaccountablefordeliberately puttinginnocentPalestinians in harm’swayinpursuitoftheirnefariousgoals.
Theproposedceasefireresolutiondistorts thefactsanddoesnotincludeaforceful condemnation ofHamasoritsterroristattack onIsraelonOctober7. Itweaponizes thephrase “NeverAgain” andreferences theHolocaustinawaythatisinsultingtothe6 millionJewsandcountless otherswhoweresystematically murderedbytheNaziregime. Andmostinsultingisthatthe resolution “vowstocombatantisemitism” whileitactuallypromotes andamplifies it.

Itrustthisletterfinds youwell. Itiswithaheavy heart andasense ofurgency thatIimplore youtolendyour voices tothecallforjustice andhumanity bypassing theResolution inSolidarity withPalestinian People in Support ofaCeasefire.
Wehavewitnessed theinjustices oftheoccupation ofPalestine, where Israeli occupation forces havemassacred 20,000Palestinians sinceOctober 7, including aheartbreaking number of8,000children anddisplaced 1.7 million Gazans. Theworld iswatching, andSantaAna, abeacon ofdiversity andinclusivity, hasaunique opportunity tostand ontheright sideofhistory.
Thedestruction ofvital infrastructure ofGaza arehaunting reminders thatGaza isnowconsidered agraveyard andisinurgent needofhumanitarian intervention fromlocalmembers ofCongress.
Thisresolution callsforSantaAnatobealeader inhuman rights forallpeople. Inourcommunity, Arabsand Muslims contribute immensely totherichtapestry ofSantaAna'scultural diversity. Their voices, experiences, andheritage areintegral partsoftheveryfabric thatmakes SantaAnaunique.
Bypassing aresolution demanding animmediate andpermanent ceasefire, SantaAnahas theopportunity to demonstrate leadership, compassion, andacommitment toprotecting families fromthebacklash ofhatecrimes.
SantaAnaneeds solidarity, andourcommunity canbeasource ofsupport forpeople experiencing theriseof hatecrimes duetothedehumanization ofPalestinians inthemedia andwithin ourgovernments.
LetSanta Anabeacitythatstands united against injustice andbigotry andsends aclear message thatwevalue thelivesofallindividuals, regardless oftheirbackground ornationality.
Thank youforyourtime, consideration, andthecrucialwork youdoforourcommunity. Welookforward to yourCityCouncil’spassing ofthishumanitarian resolution.

ERRONEOUSTEXT
Assuming Ihavebeenadequately informed abouttheresolution content, theresolution contains several glaring misstatements. Doesthiscouncilreallywanttogoonrecord asmaking erroneous statements offactandlaw?
Error #1: Iunderstand theresolution faults Israelforawarthatwasstarted byHamas. Speaking as anattorney specializing ininternational law, Icantellyouthat’sanembarrassingly nonsensical, indefensible position.
Error #2: Iunderstand theresolution usestheterm "hostages" todescribe inmates inIsraeli prisons.
These inmates are (1) individuals convicted ofcrimes, e.g., bombings, attempted bombings, and stabbings ofIsraeli citizens (21% ofwhom areArabIsraelis, andwho, collectively, consistofawide variety ofracesandethnicities) or
2) administrative detainees (likeU.S. terror suspects heldatGuantanamo Bay). Underinternational law, theseinmates arenothostages. Idon'tknowwhere youaregetting yourinformation aboutthese matters, butyouneedtovetyoursources better.
Error #3: Iunderstand theresolution usestheterm "ethnic cleansing." Whilesomeone could righteously takeissuewiththealleged number ofcivilian casualties inthisconflict (acomplicated topic), Israel isnotdoinganything thatqualifies as "ethnic cleansing." Hereisagraphic thatprovides asimplistic butaccurate illustration ofwhatisandisnotethnic cleansing. 1 2
Apartheid andGenocide: Idonotknowwhether theproposed resolution usestheseterms. Ifitdoes, thenplease beadvised thatIsraelisnotdoingeitherofthesethings. Icanprovide detailed legal explanations ifanyone isinterested.
ONE-SIDED, HYPOCRITICALRESOLUTION
Iunderstand theproposed resolution (1) failstocondemn Hamas foritsOctober 7thatrocities; (2) refuses torecognize thatacivilized, moralsociety cannot everpermitintentional andgruesome crimes committed against innocent civilians, e.g., murder, torture, rape, mayhem, andpublic desecration ofvictims’ bodies; (3) neglects todemand theimmediate returnofIsraeli hostages; (4) doesnotinsistuponanimmediate surrender byHamas wrongdoers; and (5) declines topleadfor peace negotiations. Inotherwords, theresolution expresses concern aboutinnocent Gazancivilians whichisfine) but \[i\] refuses express corresponding concern aboutinnocent Israelicitizens (whichis anappalling double-standard) and \[ii\] indicates nodesire toseeaviablelong-termresolution tothe ongoing conflict. So, thecouncil'sproposed resolution isthequintessence ofhypocrisy. Amoral, ethical person wouldexpress concern aboutalltheinnocent victimsandwouldseekasolution. Such one-sidedness reflects prejudice anddiscrimination bythiscouncil. Isthiscouncilreallythatdepraved andimmoral? Doesthiscouncil trulyrejectfundamental notionsofDEI? Byadopting thisresolution, thiscouncil willbetellingtheworldthatSantaAnaisanuglyplacethatapproves ofbigotry and unfairness.
Theproposed resolution issadlyconsistent withthelocalschool district'smisstep inillegally adopting adiscriminatory ethnic studies curriculum geared toindoctrinate thenextgeneration ofJew-haters. I cannot speakfortheschool district'slegalcounsel, butifIwerethatattorney, Iwouldbebegging the council todroptheresolution. ItjustmakesSantaAnalooklikeahotbed ofJew-hateandwouldgive theplaintiffs' attorneys moreevidence.
CONTEXT & HARM
Jewsworldwide arestillreeling fromtheOctober 7thHamas atrocities - thesingledeadliest dayfor JewssincetheHolocaust. It’spersonal forus: everyJewknows someone whowasmassacred or kidnapped. Ifthatweren’tenough, manyofushaveexperienced and/orwitnessed recent actsof antisemitism, andweliveinfearofincreasingly violent andunlawful protest activity. Indeed, Nazi Germany hasbeenreincarnated herein21stCentury Southern California. Resolutions likeyours encourage Jew-haters todomoretoharass andharmlocalJews … andwhy? WeAmerican Jews havenocontrol overevents thatinIsrael. None, whatsoever. So, yourefforts wouldincrease JewhateandJewharmbutwithnocorresponding benefit (asifthereevercouldbeabenefit from bigotry).
CONTEXT & INEFFECTUALITY
Ceasefire resolutions mightbeatrendy far-leftpublicgesture, buttheyaffectnothing intheMiddle East.
Backstory andcontext: onanearly-nonstop basissince2007, Hamas hasbeenlobbing rockets toward civilian areasinIsrael. OnOctober 7th, Hamas tookitscivilian deathcampaign toadiabolical newlevel. Itwastheproverbial strawthatbrokethecamel’sback.
Likeanynation, Israel hasafiduciary andethical obligation toprotect itsdiverse citizenship. Given theheinous newheightsofthemostrecent Hamas offensive, Israelhasunderstandably determined thatHamas mustbewiped out. Accordingly, Israelhasimportant military objectives: (1) destroy Hamas’ warmachine; (2) neutralize Hamas personnel; (3) rescue hostages; (4) minimize civilian casualties (notwithstanding Hamas’ dedicated human shieldtactics). InthecontextofIsrael’s 3 important obligations toitsownpeople, whatmakes thiscouncil thinkIsrael caresabout theSanta Anacitycouncil’sdesireforaceasefire? Especially whenthiscouncil'sresolution demonstrates onesided, hypocritical bigotry andanutterlackofconcern aboutinnocent Israelis? Protip: Israel could notcarelessaboutthedesires oftheSantaAnacitycouncil, especially ifthecouncil issending a bigoted, one-sided, unhelpful message.
HISTORY & PERSPECTIVE
Israelis wantpeace andaquickendtothewar. Unfortunately, thehistorical record demonstrates that aceasefire ultimately will (1) prolong thewarand (2) escalate bilateral casualties.
Senior Hamas leaders haveclearly saidtheyintendtoattack Israelagainandagainuntilthey eradicate IsraelandalltheJewstherein. See,
e.g., https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/hamas-official-vows-to-repeat-oct-7- attack-repeatedly-to-teach-israel-a-lesson/articleshow/104903949.cms Hamas isthesolecause ofallPalestinian andIsraeli casualties. See, e.g., https://www.fdd.org/podcasts/2023/12/01/what-hamas-believes/ Thepeople ofGazadeserve abetterfuture; thiswillbepossible onlywhenHamas isgone.
Whilethisresolution mayhavebeenintroduced withgoodintentions, itwould doonlybadthings: (1) harmlocal Jews, (2) addmorefueltoanalready-raging inferno ofhatred andconflict, and (3) publicly demonstrate thatSantaAnaisacityofbigotry andunfairness. Please votenoontheCeasefire Resolution.

Good evening,
Please standwithIsrael, theonlydemocratic country intheMiddle Eastwhosaw1400civillians murdered without warning onOctober 7, 2023. Israel hasaright todefend itself. Israel goes toextreme efforts to minimize civillian casualties bysending leaflets viaairplanes andmaking thousands ofphone calls. There isno other army thatwould puttheirownmilitary strategies atrisk (bysurrendering theirability toperform surprise attacks, which would certainly bemore effective) tohelptheopposing people. TheIDFisonlyacting inselfdefense ofitsnation. Inaninterview lastweek, Hamas stated thatOctober 7thwasjustpractice. Priortothis theystated theywillcommit October 7thagainandagainandagain. When terrorists saytheywillkill, they needtobebelieved. Israel should continue todefend itself. There wasaceasefire onOctober 6th, butHamas didnotabide byit. They stateclearly theydonotplanonabiding byanyceasefires moving forward. Asking for aceasefire isasking Israelis towalkintogaschambers.

Subject: Resolution inSolidarity withPalestinians inSupport ofaCeasefire DearMayor andCouncilmembers,
Itrustthisletterfinds youwell. Itiswithaheavy heart andasense ofurgency thatIimplore youtolendyour voices tothecallforjustice andhumanity bypassing theResolution inSolidarity withPalestinian People in Support ofaCeasefire.
Wehave witnessed theinjustices oftheoccupation ofPalestine, where Israeli occupation forces have massacred 20,000Palestinians sinceOctober 7, including aheartbreaking number of8,000children anddisplaced 1.7 million Gazans. Theworld iswatching, andSantaAna, abeacon ofdiversity andinclusivity, hasaunique opportunity tostand ontheright sideofhistory.
Thedestruction ofvital infrastructure ofGaza arehaunting reminders thatGaza isnowconsidered agraveyard andisinurgent needofhumanitarian intervention fromlocalmembers ofCongress.
Thisresolution callsforSantaAnatobealeader inhuman rights forallpeople. Inourcommunity, Arabsand Muslims contribute immensely totherichtapestry ofSantaAna'scultural diversity. Their voices, experiences, andheritage areintegral partsoftheveryfabric thatmakes Santa Anaunique.
Bypassing aresolution demanding animmediate andpermanent ceasefire, SantaAnahas theopportunity to demonstrate leadership, compassion, andacommitment toprotecting families fromthebacklash ofhatecrimes.
SantaAnaneeds solidarity, andourcommunity canbeasource ofsupport forpeople experiencing theriseof hatecrimes duetothedehumanization ofPalestinians inthemedia andwithin ourgovernments.
LetSanta Anabeacitythatstands united against injustice andbigotry andsends aclear message thatwevalue thelivesofallindividuals, regardless oftheirbackground ornationality.
Thank youforyourtime, consideration, andthecrucialwork youdoforourcommunity. Welookforward to yourCityCouncil’spassing ofthishumanitarian resolution.

DearCouncil Members,
TheState Department revealed Monday thereason whyHamas continues toholdhostages underground isthe GazaStrip. Morespecifically, why theyarerefusing torelease female hostages.
According toState Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, theIranian backed terrorist organization isn't releasing additional female hostages, whowereviolently taken fromtheirhomes andamusic festival inIsrael onOctober 7, because theyknowandhaveexperienced toomuch while incaptivity. Inotherwords, theydon't wantthemspeaking outabout whathasbeen donetothem.
There areAmerican hostages!

DearCouncil Members,

Jewsaround theworld arestillreeling intheaftermath oftheOctober 7thHamas massacre inIsrael - thesingle deadliest day forJews sincetheHolocaust. Manyofushaveexperienced and/orwitnessed actsofantisemitism directly. Adopting aresolution thatfailstoexplicitly condemn Hamas andthewave ofantisemitism that followed theiratrocities iscondoning theactsofOctober 7thandtheiraftermath.
Theresolution faults Israelforawarstarted byHamas. Thelossoflifeandsuffering isfeltbyboththeIsraelis andthePalestinians. Theresolution minimizes thesuffering ofIsraelis. 250,000Israelis have beeninternally displaced duetotheactions ofHamas andHezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240hostages onOctober 7th. This resolution calls Israel’sprisoners, manyofwhom havecommitted crimes including stabbings andbombing populated civilian locations, hostages.
Israelis wantpeace andaquick endtothewar. Aceasefire withHamas, ashasbeendemonstrated repeatedly overtime, willendinthespilling ofIsraeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders haveindicated theirintentions to continue intheirgoaltoeradicate thelandofIsraelofJews. Hamas isthecatalyst forthePalestinian andIsraeli casualties. Thepeople ofGaza deserve abetter future which ispossible onlyonceHamas isgone.
Aceasefire would perpetuate thestatus quo, allowing Hamas tocontinue tocontrol andterrorize Gaza. Donot setaprecedent thatcrimes against Israeli andPalestinian civilians paysoff, bysupporting thisCeasefire Resolution. TheCityofSantaAnashould notinadvertently incentivize more violence, attheexpense of innocent Israelis andPalestinians.
While thisresolution mayhavebeenintroduced withgoodintentions, Ibelieve itwould harm theSantaAna community andonlyfuelmore hatred andconflict. Please votenoontheCeasefire Resolution.

DearSantaAnaCityCouncil,
IamwritingtonightbecauseIamconcernedabouttheSantaAnaResolutioninSolidarity withthePalestinian PeopleinSupport ofaCeasefiretobeconsideredattheDecember 5, 2023, meeting. Iwassadtohearthatthisresolutionwasbringingbroughtfor discussionthewayitiswritten.
Theresolutionincludesinflammatory rhetoric thatisdivisiveandone-sided. Itmakesafalseequivalency betweenbabies taken byterrorists ashostages toprisoners convictedofviolentcrimeswhoarenothostages byanydefinition. Itusesinaccurateterms likeethniccleansing, genocide, andapartheid whicharealltoooftenusedtojustifybigotrytowards theJewishpeople.
Iamateacher, andIalwaysteachmystudents thatwecan'tletoursubjectiveviewsgetinthewayofbeingfairandunbiased.
Bothperspectives arenottrulybeingincludedinthisresolution, andIamsadthatnotallvoicesarebeingheard. Twothingscan betrue: OurheartsbreakatthelossofinnocentlifeinbothIsraelandGaza, andtheworseninghumanitarian crisisunfoldingin Gaza. Atthesametime, wecanholdHamasaccountablefordeliberately puttinginnocent Palestinians inharm’swayinpursuit oftheirnefariousgoals.
Theproposedceasefireresolutiondistorts thefactsanddoesnotincludeaforceful condemnation ofHamasoritsterroristattack onIsraelonOctober7. Itweaponizes thephrase “NeverAgain” andreferences theHolocaustinawaythatisinsultingtothe6 millionJewsandcountless otherswhoweresystematically murderedbytheNaziregime. Andmostinsultingisthatthe resolution “vowstocombatantisemitism” whileitactuallypromotes andamplifies it. 1 Pleaserejecttheresolutionasitiswritten, thankyou.

Subject: VoteNOonCeasefire Resolution
DearCouncilMembers,
Iamwritingtourgeyounottoparticipate insigningtheCeasefireResolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.
Jewsaroundtheworldarestillreelingintheaftermath oftheOctober7thHamasmassacre inIsrael - thesingle deadliestdayforJewssincetheHolocaust. Manyofushaveexperienced and/orwitnessed actsofantisemitism directly.
Adoptingaresolution thatfailstoexplicitly condemn Hamasandthewaveofantisemitism thatfollowedtheiratrocities iscondoning theactsofOctober7thandtheiraftermath.
Theresolution faultsIsraelforawarstartedbyHamas. Thelossoflifeandsuffering isfeltbyboththeIsraelisandthe Palestinians. Theresolution minimizes thesufferingofIsraelis. 250,000Israelishavebeeninternallydisplaced duetothe actionsofHamasandHezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240hostagesonOctober7th. Thisresolution callsIsrael’s prisoners, manyofwhomhavecommitted crimesincludingstabbingsandbombingpopulated civilianlocations, hostages.
Israeliswantpeaceandaquickendtothewar. AceasefirewithHamas, ashasbeendemonstrated repeatedly overtime, willendinthespillingofIsraeliblood. SeniorHamasleadershaveindicatedtheirintentions tocontinueintheirgoalto eradicate thelandofIsraelofJews. HamasisthecatalystforthePalestinian andIsraelicasualties. ThepeopleofGaza deserveabetterfuturewhichispossibleonlyonceHamasisgone.
Aceasefirewouldperpetuate thestatusquo, allowingHamastocontinuetocontrolandterrorizeGaza. Donotseta precedent thatcrimesagainstIsraeliandPalestinian civilianspaysoff, bysupporting thisCeasefireResolution. TheCity ofSantaAnashouldnotinadvertently incentivize moreviolence, attheexpenseofinnocentIsraelisandPalestinians.
Whilethisresolution mayhavebeenintroduced withgoodintentions, IbelieveitwouldharmtheSantaAnacommunity andonlyfuelmorehatredandconflict. PleasevotenoontheCeasefireResolution.

Yourmoral compass isbroken ifyougoahead withsuchadisturbing vote! Thenation ofIsrael is defending their country inanunprovoked attack. ThePalestinian people arebeing usedaspawns byHamas.
Yourupcoming vote isoutside your scope ofwork. And, youdonotrepresent myvalues.

Subject: Proposed resolution
DearCityCouncil, Iwanttoexpress mydeepconcerns abouttheproposed resolution addressing theWarin Gaza, particularly itsone-sidednature andpotential consequences. Asaresident ofSantaAnafor37years, I urgeyoutoconsider thebroader impact onourcommunity andfocusonissues thatdirectly affectSantaAna, suchasthehomeless crisis, affordable housing scarcity, theMHAproblem, andstreetsafety.
Ifearthataresolution onaninternational conflict overwhichtheCityCouncil hasnoauthority, maydivert attention frompressing localmatters andinvitedivisive rhetoric, aswitnessed inother cities. Irespectfully request thattheCityCouncil prioritize theneedsofourconstituents bywithdrawing theproposed resolution andredirecting attention topressing issueswithinthejurisdiction oftheCity.
