Subject:Vote NO on Ceasefire Resolution
Dear Council Members,
I am writing to urge you not to participate in signing the Ceasefire Resolution submitted by Councilmembers Vazquez
and Hernandez.
Jews around the world are still reeling in the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas massacre in Israel - the single
deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Many of us have experienced and/or witnessed acts of antisemitism directly.
Adopting a resolution that fails to explicitly condemn Hamas and the wave of antisemitism that followed their atrocities
is condoning the acts of October 7th and their aftermath.
The resolution faults Israel for a war started by Hamas. The loss of life and suffering is felt by both the Israelis and the
Palestinians. The resolution minimizes the suffering of Israelis. 250,000 Israelis have been internally displaced due to the
actions of Hamas and Hezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240 hostages on October 7th. This resolution calls Israel’s
prisoners, many of whom have committed crimes including stabbings and bombing populated civilian locations,
hostages.
Israelis want peace and a quick end to the war. A ceasefire with Hamas, as has been demonstrated repeatedly over time,
will end in the spilling of Israeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders have indicated their intentions to continue in their goal to
eradicate the land of Israel of Jews. Hamas is the catalyst for the Palestinian and Israeli casualties. The people of Gaza
deserve a better future which is possible only once Hamas is gone.
A ceasefire would perpetuate the status quo, allowing Hamas to continue to control and terrorize Gaza. Do not set a
precedent that crimes against Israeli and Palestinian civilians pays off, by supporting this Ceasefire Resolution. The City
of Santa Ana should not inadvertently incentivize more violence, at the expense of innocent Israelis and Palestinians.
While this resolution may have been introduced with good intentions, I believe it would harm the Santa Ana community
and only fuel more hatred and conflict. Please vote no on the Ceasefire Resolution.

Subject:Resolution in Solidarity with Palestinians in Support of a Ceasefire
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I trust this letter finds you well. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency that I implore you to lend your
voices to the call for justice and humanity by passing the Resolution in Solidarity with Palestinian People in
Support of a Ceasefire.
We have witnessed the injustices of the occupation of Palestine, where Israeli occupation forces have massacred
20,000 Palestinians since October 7, including a heartbreaking number of 8,000 children and displaced 1.7
million Gazans. The world is watching, and Santa Ana, a beacon of diversity and inclusivity, has a unique
opportunity to stand on the right side of history.
The destruction of vital infrastructure of Gaza are haunting reminders that Gaza is now considered a graveyard
and is in urgent need of humanitarian intervention from local members of Congress.
This resolution calls for Santa Ana to be a leader in human rights for all people. In our community, Arabs and
Muslims contribute immensely to the rich tapestry of Santa Ana's cultural diversity. Their voices, experiences,
and heritage are integral parts of the very fabric that makes Santa Ana unique.
By passing a resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire, Santa Ana has the opportunity to
demonstrate leadership, compassion, and a commitment to protecting families from the backlash of hate crimes.
Santa Ana needs solidarity, and our community can be a source of support for people experiencing the rise of
hate crimes due to the dehumanization of Palestinians in the media and within our governments.
Let Santa Ana be a city that stands united against injustice and bigotry and sends a clear message that we value
the lives of all individuals, regardless of their background or nationality.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and the crucial work you do for our community. We look forward to
your City Council’s passing of this humanitarian resolution.
Sincerely,
Afreen Mirza

Hello, I am urging Santa Ana City Council to take a humanitarian stance in standing in solidarity with Palestine.
Vote Yes in the resolution for a ceasefire and urge your townspeople to advocate for the same. Over 20,000
Palestinians have been martyred at the hands of Israeli forces/airstrikes and the support of the U.S. and
U.K. There are still over 5,000 Palestinian hostages in Israel. From the river to the sea..thank you.

Subject:Re: Vote NO on the Ceasefire Resolution
Hi, I’d like to thank you all for the discussion last night and, what I feel, was the correct outcome.
Some of you are probably getting a lot of hate mail at this point and I commend you for staying strong.
I was watching online and noticed a common thread last night in most of the comments that were in favor of the
proposed resolution. The common call was for a cease fire in Gaza, but not once did I hear a call for a cease
fire in Israel. I think we all know that, if Israel does not eradicate Hamas now, Hamas will attack and kill
Israeli’s again. Hamas is on record promising that. One commenter went as far as invoking the “river to the
sea” reference, which is a call for genocide of the Jews.
Again, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

Dear Council Members,
The State Department revealed Monday the reason why Hamas continues to hold hostages
underground is the Gaza Strip. More specifically, why they are refusing to release female
hostages.
According to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, the Iranian backed terrorist
organization isn't releasing additional female hostages, who were violently taken from their
homes and a music festival in Israel on October 7, because they know and have experienced too
much while in captivity. In other words, they don't want them speaking out about what has been
done to them.
There are American hostages!

Israelis want peace and a quick end to the war. A ceasefire with Hamas, as has been
demonstrated repeatedly over time, will end in the spilling of Israeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders
have indicated their intentions to continue in their goal to eradicate the land of Israel of Jews.
Hamas is the catalyst for the Palestinian and Israeli casualties. The people of Gaza deserve a
better future which is possible only once Hamas is gone.
A ceasefire would perpetuate the status quo, allowing Hamas to continue to control and terrorize
Gaza. Do not set a precedent that crimes against Israeli and Palestinian civilians pays off, by
supporting this Ceasefire Resolution. The City of Santa Ana should not inadvertently incentivize
more violence, at the expense of innocent Israelis and Palestinians.
While this resolution may have been introduced with good intentions, I believe it would harm the
Santa Ana community and only fuel more hatred and conflict. Please vote no on the Ceasefire
Resolution.
Thank you.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I trust this letter finds you well. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency that I implore you to lend your voices to
the call for justice and humanity by passing the Resolution in Solidarity with Palestinian People in Support of a Ceasefire.
We have witnessed the injustices of the occupation of Palestine, where Israeli occupation forces have massacred 20,000
Palestinians since October 7, including a heartbreaking number of 8,000 children and displaced 1.7 million Gazans. The
world is watching, and Santa Ana, a beacon of diversity and inclusivity, has a unique opportunity to stand on the right
side of history.
The destruction of vital infrastructure of Gaza are haunting reminders that Gaza is now considered a graveyard and is in
urgent need of humanitarian intervention from local members of Congress.
This resolution calls for Santa Ana to be a leader in human rights for all people. In our community, Arabs and Muslims
contribute immensely to the rich tapestry of Santa Ana's cultural diversity. Their voices, experiences, and heritage are
integral parts of the very fabric that makes Santa Ana unique.
By passing a resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire, Santa Ana has the opportunity to
demonstrate leadership, compassion, and a commitment to protecting families from the backlash of hate crimes.
Santa Ana needs solidarity, and our community can be a source of support for people experiencing the rise of hate
crimes due to the dehumanization of Palestinians in the media and within our governments.
Let Santa Ana be a city that stands united against injustice and bigotry and sends a clear message that we value the lives
of all individuals, regardless of their background or nationality.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and the crucial work you do for our community. We look forward to your City

December 7, 2023
Dear Santa Ana City Council Members,
Via Zoom I attended the Santa Ana City Council to support a ceasefire in Gaza, expecting to be
allowed to speak after in-person-public finished. Lamentably, Mayor Amezcua refused to grant
leniency to those who were not able to be physically present in the Council chamber to speak, either
because they were refused entry at the door albeit they arrived on time at 5 pm, or like me, were only
able to attend by Zoom.
I am a former professor of Arab American and Middle East Studies. My parents came from humble
beginnings, both Depression kids. My paternal grandparents came from adjacent villages in
Northwest Lebanon, and my mother’s parents hailed from Sweden. My paternal grandparents
divorced shortly after my father turned two years old and my aunt was four years old. At the time, my
grandmother had no one to care for my father and aunt, her sisters had not yet immigrated from
Lebanon to the U.S., so my grandmother was forced to place them in foster care while she sold linens
to clients by appointment, a common trade of the Syrian-Lebanese. When she remarried to a
Lebanese-born physician from Buffalo, New York, he was abusive to my father and aunt. My father
began working as a car mechanic and transitioned from a used car dealer to becoming a successful
owner of multiple new car dealerships in downtown Los Angeles. I would like to add that my father
was regarded as a prominent Los Angeles civic leader, and served on the campaign committee of
Edward Roybal, the first Mexican-American Congressperson from California since 1879.
Posthumously, in 2004, my father along with four other entrepreneurs, Ira Yellin, Stanley Hirsch, and
Jack Needleman, were recognized as visionaries of the New Downtown Los Angeles.
As it pertains to the topic at hand and lends credibility to why I support a cease-fire, my father’s first
cousin was a prominent diplomat who after working as a Third secretary to the United Nations, and
an ambassador from Lebanon to Iraq, Greece, and Germany, served as a prime negotiator with Israel
1
during the 1992 Madrid Talks, concerning Israel’s brutal 20-year occupation of Lebanon. On the same
panel was Dr. Haidar Abdel Shafi who represented the Palestinian Authority. Growing up in the
greater Syrian community (Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians, and Jordanians), I always have been in
solidarity with Palestinians whom Israel has dispossessed and occupied their land for 75 years, much
akin to the history of the indigenous people of the Americas.
I lived 3-4 months at a time for 6 years in The Gaza Strip, assisting the Gaza Community Mental
Health Programme in the analysis of survey data, which related to the traumatic effects of Israel’s
wars on Gaza, and the ongoing siege on the mental health of the Palestinian population. This data
was submitted to the United Nations. I also taught American Ethnic Studies at the American Corner
at Al Azhar University, and research methods at Al Aqsa Open University. In 2011 I experienced
Israel’s periodic bombings of Gaza City, which I have documented in op-eds in Al Jazeera and
Counterpunch.
Over the years I developed close friendships with colleagues and students, the latter of whom I taught
at Al Azhar University. I contact my friends daily to check if they are alive or not. Throughout Israel’s
genocidal campaign on Palestinians in Gaza, they have shut off the internet and blocked the cell
towers. Three weeks ago, during Israel’s carpet bombing of North Gaza, I contacted my friend, who is
like a sister to me, and she related a horrific story to me that her father was siphoning water from a
meager water source to give to his three grandchildren, two toddlers and a six-month-old. While the
Israeli Occupation Forces were shelling in his neighborhood, a piece of shrapnel entered her father’s
rear end, blowing off his sacral lumbar, which damaged his colon and rectum. He now is in Cairo,
Egypt, waiting for reconstructive surgery of his buttocks and a sphincterotomy. The photos showing
the extent of the injury of his large intestine are far too graphic to attach to this letter. As a side note,
my friend’s family are not supporters of Hamas as also was the case of other students of mine at the
university.
On my friend’s way from North Gaza to the Rafah border to enter Egypt, traveling by car and by foot
on the road was treacherous. Contrary to what Israel instructed the Palestinian population that
traveling from North to South would be safe, this was not the case. Palestinians were not safe as they
walked on Salahdin road, which connects North Gaza to the South. My friend and other friends I
spoke with, recounted that they and other Palestinians were humiliated by the Israeli Occupation
Forces, and some women were asked to remove their hijabs and strip naked behind Israeli tanks.
Israeli snipers abounded, and my friend witnessed “things that she should never see”, scorched,
mutilated, and headless corpses, which she had to cross over to head to the Rafah border. Israel now
is mowing down Khan Younis in the South, and the numbers are climbing to close to 20,000. I am a
quantitative researcher and a trained survey analyst, and careful in citing numbers. I must caution
against our U.S. administration that the Ministry of Health is a Hamas organization. The Palestinian
Ministry of Health predates Hamas and was instituted by the Palestinian Authority. Moreover, in
previous wars between Israel and Hamas, the United Nations, and also, the U.S. State Department
have stated that the number of Palestinian deaths reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in
Gaza has been accurate. In the interim, Israel has killed 250 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank
where the Palestinian Authority, not Hamas, is in control. As a scholar of Middle East Studies, I must
educate those who might not realize that both Hamas and Hezbollah are considered part of the
political fabric, respectively of Palestine and Lebanon. They cannot be considered as paramilitary
forces, they have ministries of education, welfare, finance, and a police force, many of whom might
support either of these two political parties, but in need of employment work for them.
th
In closing, what I understand is that on December 19, Santa Ana Council members will reconvene to
offer another watered-down version of the initiative, I hope for the sake of our brothers and sisters in
2
Palestine who are facing a genocide. I thank wholeheartedly Jonathan Hernandez and Ben Vasquez
for remaining steadfast in including the cease-fire clause into the initiative. I realize that those who
object to the ceasefire might be doing so for political gain. I completely understand it is a hard choice
for you, but in the end, you will have to live with yourself as Israel’s mass murder of innocent
Palestinians to extermination will not eliminate Hamas or any resistance movement to follow in their
place. Palestinians and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship must live in dignity and have the same
equal rights and live in one democratic state with Israelis. #No justice, no peace. Also, I was shocked
by Mayor Amezcua’s comment at the end to the remaining attendees, who were in opposition to us,
that if they were scared to leave the chambers they could stay inside. Mayor Amezcua, are we human
animals as Israeli Defense Minister Gallant calls Palestinians?
You must understand that we Arab Americans, Palestinian Americans, and our allies, who
represented the majority in defending the initiative proposed, were not happy with the outcome, and
we are the ones struggling against a U.S. administration that is biased against Palestinians much
before October 7th.
We are not against Jews and are not Antisemitic. In fact, we protest in solidarity with Jewish Voice for
Peace, and If Not Now, who have done a tremendous job in bringing the 75 years of Israeli
occupation and injustice against the Palestinians to the forefront by organizing amazing, mass
demonstrations throughout the United States (e.g., Grand Central Station in New York). Our struggle
is against Zionism of all forms, including White Christian Zionism, NOT Jewish people. Please
understand the clear difference between the two.

We are so lucky to live in Santa Ana and to be able to celebrate the holidays with our community is
something uniquely special. A big thank you to Sandy for helping to sponsor the snow track and snow
play area. The children were shocked that they got to experience snow in Santa Ana! The joy on their

experienced sledding.
I also want to thank Madame Mayor for taking the time out of her busy schedule to join us…with two

Wishing each and every one of you a very happy and festive holiday season.

Just a quick thank you to Allyson Thompson, and her entire Social Committee team, for what I thought
was an amazing Holiday event yesterday! We loved the later start time as it made the event seem more
festive, and the addition of the slide was unanimously appreciated by all with kids older than 5 years old.
Finally something different, and fun for all ages. Thanks to Sandy for helping to sponsor that addition.

Well done. Hard to top for next year!

Thank you so much Kevin for sharing such kinds words and enthusiasm for Saturday’s neighborhood event. It
was such a magical “Hallmark” experience. This was an enormous undertaking that could not have occurred
without the passion and spirit of our Social Committee, which is 25 persons deep.
We are so lucky to live in Santa Ana and to be able to celebrate the holidays with our community is something
uniquely special. A big thank you to Sandy for helping to sponsor the snow track and snow play area. The
children were shocked that they got to experience snow in Santa Ana! The joy on their faces was priceless. I
had so many families tell me that this was the very first time their children ever experienced sledding.
I also want to thank Madame Mayor for taking the time out of her busy schedule to join us…with two new
knees!! We hope you feel better soon.
Wishing each and every one of you a very happy and festive holiday season.
Warmest regards,
Allyson

Goodmorning my name is Michael Wauschek I am a concern citizen we need to protect each especially in these times. There is
so much hate especially to our fellow Arabic community. They been increasing racial attacks on for no good reason all because
they look middle eastern. That the mainstream media, iseral have so much self hate that they are willing to whatever it take to
crush Palestine. They willing to play the lowest of balls. They claim that all Arabic but especially fellow Palestines brother &
sisters that they support hamas. Which is false because not all support them. For the ones I have entered their homes. I felt so
welcome. They always that your comfortable as feed such delicious food. I see someone being attack or even been harassing
someone I am standing up. Happy holidays.

Subject:Vote NO on Ceasefire Resolution
Dear Council Members,
I am writing to urge you not to participate in signing the Ceasefire Resolution submitted by Councilmembers Vazquez
and Hernandez.
Jews around the world are still reeling in the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas massacre in Israel - the single
deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Many of us have experienced and/or witnessed acts of antisemitism directly.
Adopting a resolution that fails to explicitly condemn Hamas and the wave of antisemitism that followed their atrocities
is condoning the acts of October 7th and their aftermath.
The resolution faults Israel for a war started by Hamas. The loss of life and suffering is felt by both the Israelis and the
Palestinians. The resolution minimizes the suffering of Israelis. 250,000 Israelis have been internally displaced due to the
actions of Hamas and Hezbollah. Terrorists abducted 240 hostages on October 7th. This resolution calls Israel’s
prisoners, many of whom have committed crimes including stabbings and bombing populated civilian locations,
hostages.
Israelis want peace and a quick end to the war. A ceasefire with Hamas, as has been demonstrated repeatedly over time,
will end in the spilling of Israeli blood. Senior Hamas leaders have indicated their intentions to continue in their goal to
eradicate the land of Israel of Jews. Hamas is the catalyst for the Palestinian and Israeli casualties. The people of Gaza
deserve a better future which is possible only once Hamas is gone.
A ceasefire would perpetuate the status quo, allowing Hamas to continue to control and terrorize Gaza. Do not set a
precedent that crimes against Israeli and Palestinian civilians pays off, by supporting this Ceasefire Resolution. The City
of Santa Ana should not inadvertently incentivize more violence, at the expense of innocent Israelis and Palestinians.
While this resolution may have been introduced with good intentions, I believe it would harm the Santa Ana community
and only fuel more hatred and conflict. Please vote no on the Ceasefire Resolution.
Thank you!
Ronit Droker

It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
1
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will make the right decision for the
greater good of our community and the world at large.

E-comment ,
It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.

It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
1
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.

E-comment ,
Mayors and council members, I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed in the failure to back
the resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Many council members' commented that Santa Ana political happenings can't change or
impact happenings elsewhere in the world. This is simply untrue. When we see injustice and
actually stand against it, we embolden our own resolve to stand against injustice here in our
own city. We preserve our humanity in the face of a society and a world that tells us to look
away.
Not only that, but our tax dollars are funding Israel's continued (for over 75+ years)
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups. Many
genocide experts have openly called this crisis an ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Many of us in Santa Ana come from Latino backgrounds and have been outsiders in the US,
until building a home here in Santa Ana. It escapes me how so many members can stand in
lockstep with discrimination and ongoing colonial violence in a city so predominantly of color.
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
I URGE you to reconsider your position, to hold onto your humanity, and to agendize to vote
in favor of a resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and
ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its
commitment to upholding the principles of humanity, justice, and peace.

My name is Sally Sanders and I am a 30 year resident of Laguna Beach.
I am writing to join CAIR LA and the SoCal Ceasefire Coalition as we demand that the Santa Ana city council enact a
ceasefire resolution immediately.
We also want a public apology from the mayor for her behavior during the Dec 5 meeting.
She was horribly disrespectful and dismissive to the Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities. This kind of bias and
racism has no place in the Santa Ana city council or any city council.
City council members, please do the right thing.

for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
1
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will make the right decision for the
greater good of our community and the world at large.

It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.

Subject:Support a Ceasefire Resolution
E-comment ,
It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
1
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.

I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People to STOP this brutal
reign of terror that has been going on for 75 years! Palestinian freedom, safety and security
must be protected!
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. The choice is very simple. Either you stand for
an apartheid racists state or freedom and democracy.
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral

I implore you to reconsider your position and to vote in favor of a resolution calling for
massive sanctions on Israel and to permanently dismantle the apartheid state. It is way past
time to end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people in Gaza. By doing
so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the principles of humanity, justice,
and peace. Which side are you on?
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will make the right decision for the

The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
1
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.

Subject:Support a Ceasefire Resolution
E-comment ,
As an organization whose goal is to end harmful practices against women and girls, such as
child marriage, human trafficking, and other forms of gender-based violence, I was shocked
to read the following statement by a UN official.
Sima Sami Bahous, Executive Director of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and
the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), recalled that women and girls pay the highest
price when armed conflict erupts. Since 7 October, when Hamas fighters attacked Israel, 70%
percent of the more than 20,000 people killed in Gaza are estimated to be women and
children. “That is two mothers killed every hour and seven women every two hours, and a
child every 10 minutes” she said. “We mourn them all.”
Every day, 180 women are giving birth without water, painkillers, anesthesia for Caesarean
sections, electricity for incubators or medical supplies, she said. Mothers, meanwhile, mix
baby formula with contaminated water — when they find it — and go without food so that their
children can live another day. “Women in Gaza have told us that they pray for peace, but that
if peace does not come, they pray for a quick death, in their sleep, with their children in their
arms,” she said. “It should shame us all that any mother, anywhere, has such a prayer.”
And so it is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote
against this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the women, children and men that are
being killed every day in Support of a Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member
of the community to urge your support.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. People are starving to
death, and have no access to sanitary water or medicine.

Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, the council must
take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the senseless
bloodshed.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding
the principles of humanity, justice, and peace.

Subject:An appeal to support a Ceasefire Resolution
E-comment ,
I hope my email finds you well.
Never in my life have I witnessed such cruelty. I never thought it possible, to be honest. I
cannot shake the scenes of 30 pre-mature babies left to die and decay, children burnt with
white phosphorus, countless buried under the rubble of their own homes, maiming and
orphaning of children at a record pace. Defenseless civilians are being sniped by Israeli
soldiers on the street. Refugees bulldozed, crushed, and buried alive! Mass starvation, lack of
water, and any basics of medical care were used as weapons against a helpless,
defenseless, besieged population (illegally for 17 years!). They have nowhere to go. Even
women seeking refuge in churches were attacked yesterday. That is not normal, this is not an
acceptable collateral damage, and this is not how wars are. I refuse to believe that we live in
a world where this is acceptable.
In the past 70 days, Israel's occupation forces have killed more than 20,000 innocent
Palestinian civilians, nearly 70% of whom are women and children. The city is razed, and 1.9
million displaced, which has perpetuated a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions (as
reported by the UN, WHO, and Amnesty). Journalists (50+), doctors (200+), UN workers
(100+) even a poet are targeted and killed. Blatant declarations of collective punishment,
dehumanization, and genocidal intent are repeatedly stated by the Israeli government.
Human rights groups all over the world have described these bombing campaigns as
collective punishment and war crimes, and yet they are continuously endorsed and funded by
our government. Not to mention the unwarranted violence in the occupied West Bank.
The IDF couldn’t be further from achieving their goal. Such violence against civilians was
never successful, it will only infuse the cycle of war and distraction. Israeli hostages are
abandoned, and their life is threatened by the assault.
1
As we witness this, it also hits home for many Santa Ana families, who have family members
in Palestine living under Israeli occupation and are impacted by the ongoing genocide
currently taking place in Gaza.
That is why it is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to
vote against this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support
of a Ceasefire. As a concerned community member, I am writing to urge your support.
As Americans, we must speak out and refuse to be complicit in this horrific violence and
oppression. Only justice, fairness, and strategic solutions can result in lasting peace for
Palestinians and Israelis.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter but a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
Thank you for your efforts and service.

As a Jew living in OC, I must ask you to stand up for the suffering Palestinians in Gaza. The
ongoing slaughter of civilians by Israel, using American tax dollars, has caused a
humanitarian crisis the likes of which will continue to traumatize and impact generations of
children in the land.
Every day that passes, Israel's indiscriminate bombing kills more Palestinians that have no
affiliation with Hamas, and even some of their own Israeli hostages. Santa Ana has a long
history with social justice, and should stand on the side of human life, not widespread
vengeance.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral

Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
1
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will make the right decision for the
greater good of our community and the world at large.

Dear City Council,
We will not back down in our fight to stop genocide and apartheid. Please take some time to
reflect on why it is that people are asking you to not stop the genocide. And furthermore,
please reflect on how your implicit or indirect bias has delayed a necessary action which
could have minimized civilian death.
The community has never been more united and has welcomed new allies from all walks of
Santa Ana and the greater OC. When we know that Santa Ana tax payers are directly
financing apartheid and genocide of civilians, we cannot and will not allow you to silence us.
The horrors that have struck Palestine since October 7th are not something unfamiliar. Israel
prior to October 7th had demolished dozens of schools and killed 200-300 civilians including
50 children between 1/1/23-10/6/23. With all due respect, ignoring these facts along with
previous genocide in 1948 and 1967 is exactly what allowed for the Holocaust to be
successful. Enabling genocide is the most violent thing you can choose to do at a time like
this.
Furthermore, following in Genocide Joe’s footsteps by casting doubt on the videos of humans
being unalived while the world sits and watches, echos the variation of disgust and
dehumanization perpetrated by genocidal Israeli Officials. Platforming zionists and sharing
insider information is not only inappropriate but unequivocally demonstrates your belief that
Santa Ana does in fact support Palestine and halting this resolution would REQUIRE foul play
and fraud, as we witnessed transpired.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing of the
1
Palestinian people. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
Thank you for your journey in representing your constituency.

It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.

Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Towns and cities are being destroyed; houses leveled to the ground. Last week, UN officials
reported that 1.9 million people have been displaced. That’s the equivalent of 60% of Orange
County’s population. Imagine what a crisis it would be if everyone in Irvine, Santa Ana,
Anaheim, Orange, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Garden Grove, Fullerton, Huntington Beach,
and Costa Mesa had been displaced from their homes. This is clearly a humanitarian crisis.
Based on the criteria offered in article 2 of the Genocide Convention, it is also clearly a
genocide, and it is being funded by our tax dollars. We need to act now, and we urge you to
maintain a pro-justice stance and support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the

I implore you to reconsider your position and to get this important issue on the agenda
immediately. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the principles
of humanity, justice, and peace.

Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
13
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will make the right decision for the
greater good of our community and the world at large.

Subject:RE: City Council
Dear City Council,
Over the past few meetings it has become apparent that the public (we the people) are grossly ignored,
especially by the mayor, when giving public comments.
I'm sure you have probably stopped reading this; however, please know that the public is watching,
documenting, and we will react and/or take (legal) action as needed to bring light to our issues and concerns.
I am only a voice of one but I know I'm not alone when I state the following: Please agendize and vote to
support a cease-fire in Gaza. Simply stated, if the city does not vote for a cease-fire then it will be recognized
that killing of innocent citizens will be supported by your silence. Your silence is complicit with the murderers
in Gaza. You do have the option to recognize a cease-fire which would save several lives of the innocent in
Gaza.
Our votes matter more than your horrific silence regarding the cease-fire. Innocent infants, children, seniors,
disabled, mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers do not deserve death as a reason for your silence and inaction.
You subject the public to prayer before the meetings; yet, is seems like your couldn't care less about creating
and approve a cease-fire document to help save innocent lives in Gaza/Israel.
May the blood of the dead rest on your conscience for all the days of your life...don't ignore humanity, don't
ignore your constituents, don't ignore what you know is the right thing to do to help save the lives of the
innocent.
Your fate and the fate of dozens, possibly hundreds/thousands is in your hands. Please vote to support a cease-
fire document so all of Santa Ana, Orange County, California, and the world will recognize you as someone
who cares about humanity, someone who listens to your constituents, and someone who is worthy of reelection.
It's up to you....you will either follow your conscience or we the people will be forced to follow ours. Don;t
create division among your constituents and yourselves, create unity and solidarity while you have the chance.
David Duran

It is with a heavy heart that I express my disappointment in the recent decision to vote against
this crucial resolution to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People in Support of a
Ceasefire. I am writing to you as a concerned member of the community to urge your support.
Our tax dollars that can help us here in our communities aid in funding Israel to continue its
aggression against Palestinians. Experts around the world say people are being killed in
Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of the U.S.-led attacks in Iraq and
Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.
The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. The ongoing violence has
led to 20,000 innocent lives most of which are women and children, which has perpetuated a
humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions. People are starving to death, being sniped by
Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and burying patients alive!
Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that
the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the
senseless bloodshed.
The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral
imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we
allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective
responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence
or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting
Palestine.
I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling
for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian
43
people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the
principles of humanity, justice, and peace.
