Please forward this to your city council members.
I was told that your city council is being pressured to consider a ceasefire resolution. Please realize that these resolutions are trojan horses that pressure committee members to do something that appears to be virtue signaling (express sympathy for children lost in war) but are actually part of at boycott/divest/sanction movement against the state of Israel for defending itself against Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization that has in its charter the destruction of Israel and the murder of all Jews. Note these resolutions don't mention Hamas and typically they omit Israeli's from the group that they value and protect. This is a form of discrimination based on national origin as well.
I've attached an article that describes this as part of a sinister national plan. The reality is that organizations like CAIR (note attached article) organize these ceasefires and rallies. The White House recently distanced itself from CAIR because the leader rejoiced soon after the terrorist rampage of October 7th in which 1200 people in Israel were murdered, before Israel defended itself. He wants the destruction of Israel and hopes that by pressuring candidates and legislators to believe that there is a large group of constituents that are against Israel that they can cause the US to abandon its ally and support the Hamas terrorists. In fact Hamas spent the billions of money it received in aid on a war machine focused on destroying Israel rather than its own citizens. Most Israelis believe that a Palestinian country should exist but one that is at peace with and accepts the existence of Israel.
Don't support terrorist propaganda. The war is a tragedy that would end immediately if Hamas released the 100+ hostages they hold, disarmed, and committed to peaceful coexistence. Hamas violated the ceasefire in place on October 6 as well as multiple ceasefires earlier.
There are city councils who have said they will not consider business like this that is not relevant to local issues and the funds they ask to divest are Federal, not state. These ceasefires are mere propaganda.
Finally, I just heard a beautiful speech by a Muslim man who is one of several describing a serious risk to our society posed by these groups. It is 13 minutes worth watching by Noor Dani. He is near tears about what is happening due to Hamas. https://youtu.be/1VCQCmr0RVM?si=z6ypuMScQp4fPxQE
13 Key points of my speech:
Hamas is not an org but an ideology across the world
Hamas is walking and living among the western people
Hamas has seized the western democratic system
Hamas has waged the religious war against Israel
Hamas has put Islam, Quran and Mohammed (PBUH)on trial (cos they used texts under those names)
Hamas has started war in Israel but it will end in the West Terrorists don’t sleep until they hit non Muslims
Wake up, it’s an ideological warfare
Thank you for considering this.
