Sebag <br />Email <br /> <br />Address <br /> <br />HUNTINGTON BEACH, California 92647 <br />United States <br />Map It <br />Phone <br />( <br />Who is this message for? <br />• Mayor Valerie Amezcua <br />• Mayor Pro Tern Jessie Lopez <br />• Councilmember Thai Viet Phan <br />• Councilmember David Penaloza <br />• Councilmember Phil Bacerra <br />• Councilmember Johnathan Ryan Hernandez <br />• Councilmember Benjamin Vazquez <br />Comments or questions <br />Dear Santa Ana City Council, <br />I am writing to communicate my great displeasure and profound concerns about the Santa Ana Resolution "Solidarity with the <br />Palestinian People in Support of a Ceasefire" to be considered at the December 5, 2023 meeting. <br />The resolution is divisive and one-sided, ignoring the concerns of other involved parties. It shockingly supports the heinous <br />actions of the Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. There is no equivalence between babies taken by terrorists as hostages to <br />prisoners convicted of violent crimes who are not in any way hostages; they are prisoners jailed for crimes. The proposed <br />resolution falsely claims ethnic cleansing, genocide, and apartheid. These are not realities and represent trumped up charges to <br />justify bigotry towards Jewish people. <br />Understandably, my hearts break at the loss of innocent lives in both Israel and Gaza, and it saddens me to witness the <br />worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. However, the true culprits who are guilty for this are the Hamas terrorists, who are to be <br />held accountable for deliberately putting innocent Palestinians in harm's way. <br />The proposed resolution dose not accurately present the facts, nor does it include condemnation of Hamas and its terrorist <br />1 <br />
