Subject: VoteNOonCeasefire Resolution
DearCouncilMembers,
Iamwritingtourgeyounottoparticipate insigningtheCeasefireResolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

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, allowingHamas tocontinuetocontrolandterrorizeGaza. Donotseta precedent thatcrimesagainstIsraeliandPalestinian civilianspaysoff, bysupporting thisCeasefireResolution. TheCity ofSantaAnashouldnotinadvertently incentivize moreviolence, attheexpenseofinnocentIsraelisandPalestinians.

Whilethisresolution mayhavebeenintroduced withgoodintentions, IbelieveitwouldharmtheSantaAnacommunity andonlyfuelmorehatredandconflict. PleasevotenoontheCeasefireResolution.

Thankyou,
SarahMiller

DearCouncil Members,
Iamwriting tourgeyounottoparticipate insigning theCeasefire Resolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

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. 1 Alcala, Abigail

Greeting CityCouncil,
Iamwriting insupport ofthecouncil member requested item #19todirect theInterim CityManager toprepare aresolution tocallforanimmediate Ceasefire inGaza. TheInsitute forMiddle EastUnderstanding (IMEU) has reported thatIsrael hasmurdered over21,000Palestinians since October 7th, more thanhalfbeing children and women. IMEU alsoreports that80percent (1.9million people) ofGaza'spopulation hasbeendisplaced asa resultoftheconstant bombardment thattheyhavefaced these past2months thatisfunded byOURTAX DOLLARS! This is6times thecurrent estimated SantaAnapopulation! EvenwhenIsraeli forces designate an areaasa "safezone" they stillbombandattack Palestinians inthese areas, astrategy aiming toharm and constantly displace people from their homes, cities, andneighborhoods. Sincethetemporary pause ended, Israel hasescalated theirattacks onGaza, targeting homes, schools, andhospitals. IasktheCityCouncil andstaffto empathize withthePalestinian people inGaza andtheWestBank, aswellasthePalestinian people whocall SantaAnaandOrange County their current home andwhohaveloved ones whostillreside inoccupied Palestine. Iaskthat youputyourself andtheir shoesandimagine that you, yourfamily, andthegenerations before youwerelivingthrough thisterrorforthepast75years and2months. Let'sfollow thesteps thatcities, suchasOakland, CA, Atlanta, Georgia, Akron, Ohio, Wilmington, Delaware, Providence, Rhode Island, and multiple cities inMichigan, across theUnited States, havealready taken, calling foranimmediate and permanent Ceasefire inGaza.

Subject: Agenda Item #19: Resolution toCall inSupport ofaCeasefire inGaza Hello Councilmembers,
I’dliketodrawyourattention toaplace justblocks away fromwhere yousitonthedaisatCityHall, down the streetattheSantaAnaPublic Library. Onthefrontlawn alongCivic Center Drive, there isasingle statue dedicated toamannamed AlexOdeh. Mr. Odeh wasaPalestinian-American poet, writer, andhuman rights activist whofledhishomeland asarefugee andmadeanewhome inOrange County. Heearned amaster's degree, raised afamily, andledtheWestCoast office oftheAmerican-ArabAnti-Discrimination Committee ADC), which continues tofightagainst racism while advocating forfairArab-American representation.

AlexOdeh wasbrutally murdered athisADCoffice inSantaAnaonOctober 11, 1985. TheFBInamed three suspects inconnection withthishorrible assassination whowere linkedtoafar-rightZionist terrorist organization andwhofledtoIsraeli-occupied territories inPalestine. Nonetheless, Odeh’smurder remains unsolved andjustice remains unserved.

Onthedayhedied, Odehwasscheduled tospeak atalocal synagogue aspartofhisworkuniting Jewish and Arabcommunities intheir shared struggle forcivilrights. Rabbi Arnold Rachlis saidthat “AlexOdeh wasan advocate forjustice forhispeople. Hechampioned Palestinian rights, notbecause hewished todeny those of others, butbecause hewanted hispeople’svoice tobeheard.” Onarelated note, Ihighly recommend seeking outOdeh'smaster'sdegree thesis fromCSUFullerton, "United States Policy Toward thePalestinian'sinthe Overall Context oftheArab-Israeli Conflict."
Itisextremely significant thattheSantaAnaCityCouncil unanimously approved Odeh'sstatue anditslocation atthelibrary, acommunal meeting place ofknowledge andunderstanding. Morethan500people attended the statue’sdedication ceremony in1994, andatthattime, itwastheonlyknown full-length outdoor statue inthe U.S. dedicated toanArab-American.

SantaAna, acityofimmigrants andrefugees, has chosen Odeh asourhero. It’sespecially significant thatwe continue tohonor Odeh atthistime, ashispeople’svoice isonceagain crying outinpainduetogenocide and ethnic cleansing. These horrors arebeing inflicted onPalestinians byacruelautocratic government that represents neither democracy northeglobal Jewish diaspora. Many inourlocal communities areacutely feeling thepainoftheevents inGaza—notonlyPalestinian- andJewish-Americans, butallresidents whocare about human rights, justice, andpeace. Thecityhasanobligation tosupport thesecommunities inatimeofcrisis, and thattimeisnow.

SoIamwriting nowtostrongly urge youtodirect theInterim CityManager toprepare aresolution for theCityCouncil’sconsideration tocall insupport ofaceasefire inGaza. It’sinthebestinterest ofourcity government tomake astatement thatwillberemembered ontheright sideofhistory, echoing thestatement madewiththededication ofAlexOdeh’sstatue. Theinscription atthestatue’sbasereminds usthat “hewas a visionary, abuilder ofbridges which many maynowsafely cross.” Asacity, wemustjointhegrowing chorus ofcalls foranimmediate ceasefire inGaza; thesafereturn ofIsraeli hostages totheirfamilies; andthereturn of landtothePalestinian people. It’stheleastwecandoandit’stherightthing todo. 1 Thank you,

DearCouncil Members,
Iamwriting tourgeyounottoparticipate insigning theCeasefire Resolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

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.

Iamwriting toexpress myconcerns regarding therecentdiscussions andactions takenbysomeofourCity Council members concerning matters thatextend beyond thepurview oflocalgovernance - specifically, engagement inforeign policy issues.

Asaresident ofthiscity, Igreatly appreciate thededication andeffortsoftheCouncil inaddressing local matters thatdirectly impactourcommunity'swell-being. However, recent discussions andresolutions involving foreign policymatters areclearly diverting attention andresources away fromtheprimary responsibilities oflocalgovernance.

Whileacknowledging theimportance ofinternational affairs, Ibelieve thattheCityCouncil'sroleshould primarily focusonaddressing localconcerns, suchasinfrastructure, education, PUBLIC SAFETY, and community development. Engaging inforeign policymatters donotalignwiththecoreresponsibilities entrusted totheCouncil bythecitizens ofourcity.

Astrong stance toaspecific "side" oftheseinternational issueswillonlyperpetuate adivisive community and threaten thepublic safetyofthosethatlivewithinyourcitylimits.

ToWhom itMayConcern,
Myname isUyenHoang andIamtheExecutive Director ofVietRainbow ofOrange County (VROC). VROC wascreated in2013 when 5LGBTQ+ Vietnamese Americans were rejected from participating in cultural celebrations onthebelief that “LGBT isnotpartofVietnamese culture.” Inresponse, wefought for inclusion ofourhumanity asbeingbothVietnamese andqueer. Today, VROC uplifts thedifferent multiple intersectional identities thatqueer, transVietnamese Americans have, aswellastheissues thattheymayface because ofthem.

Inourwork towards advancing justice here inOrange County, wealsomustremember thatinjustice anywhere isathreat tojustice everywhere. Thegenocide thatishappening inPalestine isanissue thataffects usalland hasparticular resonance withtheAAPI community hereintheUS, especially forourVietnamese community.What ishappening inPalestine isanalltoofamiliar story forSoutheast Asian refugees and descendants ofrefugees. Wecondemn these atrocities andthegenocide ofPalestinians.

Weurge theSantaAnaCityCouncil topassaresolution insolidarity withthePalestinian People inSupport ofa Ceasefire. Thank you.

Ifindtheinterpretation thiscommunity hasoftheJewish people deeply troubling.

Tohavetheschool district'scurriculim exclude Jewsasanethnicgroup based onthe misguided ideas previously listed isproblematic atbest.

Ilove SantaAna. Ilovethatthiscityhas suchapride infamily values andhanging ontoourLatino culture, butI knowthatifthisblatant disregard towards growing antisemitism continues, mychildren won'tgettoexperience theSantaAnaIgrewupinandlove, because theywon'tbesafehere.

I'mwellaware oftheworking draftofthecouncil'sstatement against Israel inregards tothewarwiththe terrorist group, Hamas. Thiscouncil needs tounderstand thatZionism isintegral tothesurvival oftheJewish people, since without anation theywould beonceagain vulnerable tobesubjegated tosystemic targeting.

Zionist Jewsarenottheirprime minister (which majority ofthemwanthimout). JustlikePalestinians arenot Hamas. Iurgethiscouncil toeducate itselfobjectively onterminology I'veseengrossly misused andto advocate forpeace instead ofmorediscrimination andalienation.

Lastly, tohaveany sortofmention oftheholocaust inregards toIsreal andpalestine isincredibly tonedeaf, insensitive, andcruel. Many ofyour Jewish constituents havehadmajority oftheirfamilies wiped outbyHitler andhisregime viasystemic encarceration andmass execution likelambs totheslaughter.

MynameisTatiana Zavala. Iamemailing tourgethecitycouncil tosupport animmediate andpermanent ceasefire inGaza, andthesafe passage ofsubstantial humanitarian aidtothepeople ofPalestine.

SinceOctober 7th, over13,000Palestinians havebeenmurdered. Over5,500ofthose murders havebeen children. IurgetheSantaAnacitycouncil toproclaim their support forPalestine, todenounce thehorrific acts being committed bythestateofIsrael byopposing allexisting andanyfuture military aidtoIsrael, andtocall insupport ofapermanent ceasefire inGaza.

Tobeclear, itiscrucialtodistinguish between criticizing theactions/policies ofthestateofIsrael, and harboring anykindofanti-Semitic sentiment. Mydisagreement withIsrael'sspecific governmental decisions should notbemisconstrued asanattack ontheJewish people asawhole. Istrongly urgethecityofSantaAna tocontinue advocating forthedignity andsafety ofresidents inevery community, regardless ofwhat crimes its leadership may commit. Peaceful diplomacy istheonlywaytoachieve thissafety anddignity.

Asstated intheproposed resolution, "thehistorical memory oftheHolocaust requires ustospeak outwhenwe seeatrocities being committed against innocent people, nomatter theiridentity." Iurgethecouncil members in SantaAnatoheedthiscall.

Thank youforyourreview andconsideration.

DearCouncil Members,
Iamwriting tourgeyounottoparticipate insigning theCeasefire Resolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

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.

Thank you

Myname isAdam Overton andIamamember oftheJewish community inOrange County. Iurgeyouto please voteYEStopass thisresolution insupport ofaceasefire inGaza.

TheOct7thattacks ofHamas oninnocent Israeli citizens wereanabsolute catastrophe, completely intolerable, andevil. ButtheIsraeli government'smilitary response farexceeded anyplausible justification of "self defense", andhasresulted inunbelievable, unprecedented numbers ofinnocent Palestinians killed, the magnitude ofwhich theworldhasnever seen.

Wehaveseen fromtheceasefire aweek agothatdiplomacy, negotiations canwork andresulted intherelease ofdozens ofIsraeli hostages -- aswellasdozens ofPalestinian women andchildren whohadbeenarrested without charge byIsrael police forces. ButIsrael hasdecided tohalttheceasefire andasofyesterday hasnow resumed byinvading Southern Gaza, where theremainder ofPalestinians havefledtoatthedemand ofIsraeli Defense Forces.

Wearewitnessing inrealtime agenocide ofapeople andwemustactimmediately toconvince Israeltocease fire.

AsaJewishardtoseesuchinhumanity being donetoanother people byanation thatclaims torepresent the Jewish people. Itisscary toseesuchmilitary behavior delegitimize Israel andtheUnited States intheeyesof theworld. Israel'sactions arekilling innocent Palestinians, andendangering thelivesofallJewsandAmericans around theworld, andIbelieve thisoverreaction willdelay anychance ofpeace being reached forgenerations.

Whatwe'veallseen overthe75yearsoftheIsrael/Palestine conflict isthatnomilitary option there canbring peace, onlydiplomacy can. Yourleadership isdearly needed inthismoment. Please stand forhumanity andlife andpeace andcallforanimmediate ceasefire andendtothiscatastrophe.

DearCouncilMembers,
Iamwritingtourgeyounottoparticipate insigningtheCeasefireResolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

Adoptingaresolution thatfailstoexplicitly condemnHamasandthewaveofantisemitism thatfollowedtheiratrocities iscondoning theactsofOctober7thandtheiraftermath.

Aceasefirewouldperpetuate thestatusquo, allowingHamastocontinuetocontrolandterrorizeGaza. Donotseta precedent thatcrimesagainstIsraeliandPalestinian civilianspaysoff, bysupporting thisCeasefireResolution. TheCity ofSantaAnashouldnotinadvertently incentivize moreviolence, attheexpenseofinnocentIsraelisandPalestinians.

Whilethisresolution mayhavebeenintroduced withgoodintentions, IbelieveitwouldharmtheSantaAnacommunity andonlyfuelmorehatredandconflict. PleasevotenoontheCeasefireResolution.

Subject: Agenda Item19for12/5SantaAnaCityCouncil Meeting Council members agenda item19. fortoday'smeeting isextremely concerning. Iamnotaresident ofCalifornia butIwasbornthere, andamacitizen oftheUnited States ofAmerica.

Moreimportantly Irespect Geneva convention, andhaveaproblem withrapebeing used asaweapon ofwar, as wellasaproblem withelderly people andchildren being taken fromhomes, aswellasaproblem withpeacefull civilians being attacked.These arenotlegally acceptable actions ofwar, notsince 1948, andshould never be supported inacourtoflaw.

Although calling foraceasefire mayseem harmless, wellmeaning, andgoodhearted because suchcallstendto aironthesideofwanting peace fortheworld....inthiscase, itisacalltouproot thebasic values Imentioned above, thatexistincivilized society.Itisnotgoodenough toclaim ignorance, ifyouintend tobethelawmakers ofthisSOCIETY.

Alawmaker hasaresponsibility toknowthemeaning ofthewordapartheid, andtoknowthemeaning ofthe wordblockade. Lawmakers havearesponsibility tonotco-optsuchimportant words andtonotmisappropriate them, sothattheirimpact when invoked isnotwatered down.

Demanding aceasefire fromadefensive statethataims togointoretrieve itscivilians, whoarestillbeingheld captive andwerebrutally kidnapped inthemostinhuman ways, isnotacceptable. (YOUCANLITERALLY WATCH ONYOUR PHONE whathappened onOctober 7th,andYOUALLARERESPONSIBLE todosoif youplan onhaving anopinion ontheissue)
ThereasonEgypt, UAE, andJordan helpedwiththerecovery ofsomehostages andalsoareEXTREMELY resistant totheconcept ofopening theirdoors torefugees fromGaza, isbecause theyknowwhoHAMAS isand evenTHEIR limitsonwhatisacceptable inwarwerecrossed during theOctober 7attack. They agreewith Israel onthecorevalues Iinitially mentioned.

Ifopposing foreign countries arecapable ofuniting inrecognizing theimportance ofthebasic values highlighted byGeneva convention, whycan'tyou? Iquestion what could possibly motivate youcouncil members toconsider suchhorrendous acts liketheonesexecuted on10.7asacceptable.

Atleast acceptable enough foryoutodemand thatthecountry incharge ofretrieving thecivilians, andensuring suchattacks donotrepeat, stoptheirretrieval andsecuring ofitsborders.

Should aformal investigation bemade offunding accepted bycouncil members, whatwould befound? Thebloodofthehostages stillbeing heldcaptive, willbeonyourhands, ifyoudemand thattheonlyforceon Earthwilling togoinandsavethem,betoldtostop trying to.

Nottomention theblood shedresulting intheemboldening ofterrorist organizations whonotonly become supported financially butnowmorally bypeople notcaring enough toberesponsible fortheir ownwords or 18 votes.

Institutional support forPalestine before Hamas isunseated means institutional support forHamas.

IREPEAT Institutional support forPalestine before Hamas isunseated means institutional support forHamas.

Hamas, theterrorist organization, classified byOSCE andtheUnitedStates asaterrorist organization.

Hamas isstill incharge oftheHealth Ministry ofGaza andtheEducation Ministry ofGaza. Which iswhy Hamas leaders arebillionaires, because each timeawarhappens theyreceive billions ofdollars inaidthatgoes totheminstead oftothePalestinians.Which isalsowhyGaza looks likeanopenairwasteland instead of something likeSingapore andalsowhyyouwon'tnecessarily behelping Palestians bysupporting Gaza.

Demanding aceasefire isnotonlyirresponsible towards Israelis whoonlyaimtoprotect themselves fromwhat hasbeenrecognized bytheICC'sprosecutor asgross human rights violations, butisalsoirresponsible towards thePalestinians whoarelivingunderwhat canonlybedescribed asaterrorist regime ifoneaimstobeaccurate withtheirlanguage.

Yourproposal antisemitically mentions words being usedtoshowaclearintention ofethnic cleansing onbehalf ofIsrael, andignores actions, specifically theactions ofdirectly targeting elderly andchildcivilians inamass shooting, raping, beheading andbrutalizing attack onOctober 7th, theactions donebyHAMAS asanACTUAL attempt atethnic cleansing.

Iknowweed islegalized there nowbutyoushouldn'tbewriting lawwhile undertheinfluence.

Yourproposal alsoclaims tocombat antisemitism while ignoring the1.2million Jewish California residents.Whobythewayareverypresent inemail communications opposing thisproposal: lastIchecked 142 residents opposing thisproposal, toonly2infavor, probably associated withthetwodrugaddicts that suggested theproposal. YesIreadalltheemails.

Suchatextliketheonesuggested inagenda item19, asaproposal, hasnocredibility intheeyesofthetruthful.

Ifyouthinkasimple votemeans nothing, Idon'tknowwhy youwould bother being council members. You havearesponsibility tothetruthyousoopenly claim tovalue onyourwebsite. Ihopetoseeyoutakethat responsibility seriously, because there arelives thatcandiewhen youdon't.

DearSantaAnaCityCouncilmembers,
IwritetoexpressmyoppositiontotheSantaAnaResolutioninSolidarity withthePalestinian PeopleinSupportofaCeasefire.

Thisproposed Resolutionincludes inflammatory rhetoric thatisdivisiveandone-sided, failstocondemntheHamasorits terroristmassacreonOctober7, demonstrates biasbyblamingonlyIsraelandascribesnoagencyorresponsibility foranyother groupsorparties. Italsousesinaccuratetermslike “ethniccleansing,” “genocide,” and “apartheid,” whicharealltoooftenused tojustifybigotrytowards theJewishpeople. Itweaponizes thephrase “NeverAgain” andreferences theHolocaustinawaythat isinsultingtothe6millionJewsandcountless otherswhoweresystematically murderedbytheNaziregime.

Additionally, theResolutionperpetuates anoffensive moralequivalency bycallingcriminals arrestedinIsraeliprisons “hostages” likethebabies, children, families, elderlyfolkswho, ifnotmurdered, werekidnappedbyHamas terrorists andheldhostagein Gaza. Ultimately, thisResolution makesamockeryoffightingantisemitism byvowingto “combatantisemitism” while weaponizinglanguagethattoooftenisusedtojustifyand/orpromoteantisemitism. 11 Tobeclear, thisisnotawarIsraelstartednorwanted. Twothings canbetrue: Ourhearts breakatthelossofinnocentlifein bothIsraelandGaza, andtheworseninghumanitariancrisisunfoldinginGaza. Atthesametime, wecanholdHamas accountablefortheirattacktargeting men, women, children, andthekilling, mutilationandkidnappingofbabies, theelderly, the disabledonOctober 7, aswellasfordeliberately puttinginnocentPalestinians inharm’swayinpursuitoftheirnefarious goals.

Thebarbaric, antisemitic terroristorganization HamascommittedthemostlethalmassacreofJewssincetheHolocaust, brutally murdering morethan1,200civilians, withmorethan4,500including men, women, andchildreninjured. Hamas alsokidnapped morethan200men, womenandchildren – includingbabiesasyoungas9-months-oldandelderlyHolocaust survivors – who werekidnappedandtakenashostages intoGazabyHamas. Thesearemostly civilians. Wemournthedevastationand tremendous lossoflifeinGaza, wherethousands ofPalestinians, includingchildren, havebeendisplaced, injured, orkilledin theensuingviolence.

Thisisatimewhenweshouldbecallingoutbothantisemitism andanti-Muslimhateinourcommunity, andrecognizethatmany members ofourcommunity aredeeplyimpactedbywhatisgoingoninIsraelandinGaza. SantaAnaCityCouncilmembers shouldbeseekingtobringustogetherandensurethatourcommunity iswelcomingandinclusiveforpeoplefromallfaiths, ethnicities, andcultural backgrounds.

Aresolutioncallingforaceasefirethatfailstocondemn Hamasasaterroristorganizationorfailstocallforthesafereturnofthe hostages, doesjusttheopposite. Infact, thistypeof
resolutioncouldactuallypromotehateagainsttheJewishpeopleandfurtherdivideourcommunity.

Wehaveseentimeandtimeagainthattensions intheMiddleEastcanleadtoanincreaseinantisemitic incidents, rangingfrom harassmenttoviolence, targetingJewishinstitutions andJewishindividuals inAmerica.

JewsacrosstheUS, andindeed, theworld, areexperiencingthisnow, eveninourcommunity.

Inaddition, citycouncils shouldnotbefocusingoninternational matters. Citycouncils shouldbefocusingonmatters thatdirectly affectourcity: safetyandsecurity, housing, foodandjobinsecurity, schools, trafficissues.

Weurgeyoutorejectthisresolutionandwelcometheopportunity todiscuss thisissuewithyoufurther. Thankyouforyour consideration.

Hello,
Myname isCathy, andIamwriting tocomment onAgenda Item19: Discuss andConsider Directing the Interim CityManager toPrepare aResolution forCityCouncil’sConsideration toCallinSupport ofaCeasefire inGaza – Councilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

Iwould liketoexpress mysupport forthisresolution. Iampartofagrowing international chorus calling fora permanent ceasefire inGaza, anendtoallofthisbrutal carnage. UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell hassaid "Gaza is, again, themost dangerous place tobeachild." Ibelieve thatapermanent ceasefire isavitalpartofaddressing thegrowing anti-semitism andIslamophobia we areseeing across thecountry. Calling forapermanent ceasefire isnotanti-semitic—itisstaying intouchwith thatpartofourhumanity thatrecognizes theunbearable devastation ofwiping entire families offofthecivil registry, ofdestroying thesmall bodies ofchildren, ofdisplacing overamillion people (some ofwhom have already livedthrough displacement), oftheelderly, ill, anddisabled trying tomakeittoa "safe" space, of healthcare providers, journalists, rescue workers beingtargeted andkilled. Thelossisunfathomable.

Generations willlivewiththistrauma—iftheyevensurvive.

Thepursuit ofliberation andjustice isnotjustforcertain frontsorreserved forthehigher echelons of government. Speaking upatalocal community levelmatters. Itmatters tothose wecallneighbors, ourchildren whoarewatching ouractions), andyes, eventhose ontheother sideoftheworld.

Idonotwish violence ormarginalization ofanygroup. Theflourishing ofonegroup should notdepend onthe oppression ofanother. Iampleading forourcollective conscience.

Thank youforyourtimeandconsideration.

DearCouncil Members,
Iamwriting tourgeyounottoparticipate insigning theCeasefire Resolution submitted byCouncil members Vazquez andHernandez.

Adopting aresolution thatfailstoexplicitly condemn Hamas andthewave ofantisemitism thatfollowed their atrocities 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 abetterfuture which ispossible onlyonce Hamas 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 incentivise more violence, attheexpense of innocent Israelis andPalestinians.

While thisresolution mayhavebeenintroduced withgoodintentions, Ibelieve itwould harm theSantaAna community andonlyfuelmore hatred andconflict. Please votenoontheCeasefire Resolution.

Subject: VoteNOonCeasefire Resolution
DearCouncil Members,
Iamwriting tourgeyounottoparticipate insigning theCeasefire Resolution submitted byCouncilmembers Vazquez andHernandez.

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.
