<br />Araiza, Fatima <br />From:Samir Mohamedy <samir@upliftcharity.org> <br />Sent:Tuesday, December 19, 2023 1:59 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Stop the Violence Against Palestinians NOW! <br />E-comment , <br />It is with frustration and anger that I express my disappointment in the recent, pathetic <br />decision to vote against this crucial resolution to stop the inhumane terrorism against the <br />Palestinian People. We demand a Ceasefire, NOW! I am writing to you as a concerned <br />member of the community to demand your support. Make better decisions starting today. <br />Land on the right side of history. Not as a sold-out politician. <br />Our tax dollars that should be helping our local communities are instead funding Israel to <br />continue murdering and terrorizing Palestinians. <br />The situation in Gaza demands our immediate attention and action. People are starving to <br />death, being sniped by Israeli soldiers on the street, bulldozed and medical patients being <br />buried alive! <br />Santa Ana, as a city that has always been at the forefront of social justice, it is imperative that <br />the council take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the <br />senseless bloodshed. <br />The decision to reject the ceasefire resolution is not just a political matter; it is a moral <br />imperative. We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, nor can we <br />allow political rhetoric to overshadow the urgent need for peace and justice. It is our collective <br />responsibility to ensure that Santa Ana city does not condone or support any form of violence <br />or oppression, especially when communities here risk attacks and hate crimes for supporting <br />Palestine. <br />I implore you to reconsider your position and agendize to vote in favor of a resolution calling <br />for a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian <br />people in Gaza. By doing so, Santa Ana will reaffirm its commitment to upholding the <br />principles of humanity, justice, and peace. <br />1 <br /> <br />
