Further inflaming every one of my family <br />members who have fought and suffered, your council abuses the term "never again". I am appalled at the audacity to threaten <br />my family, my people, my culture. This is happening in my neighborhood? Where I shop? Where I work? Where I live? Where I <br />am bringing up my child? <br />And the biggest lie in the resolution, is hidden away, as you "vow" to combat antisemitism" while embracing and inflaming anti - <br />Jew trope <br />Two things can be true: Our hearts break at the loss of innocent life in both Israel and Gaza, and the worsening humanitarian <br />crisis unfolding in Gaza. At the same time, we can hold Hamas accountable for deliberately putting innocent Palestinians in <br />harm's way in pursuit of their nefarious, genocidal goals. <br />I will continue to wish the best for my community, putting my words into action. I hope you can say the same. <br />Julie Holdaway <br />1 <br />
