As a <br />resident deeply invested in the welfare and integrity of our community, I find it necessary to express my strong concerns about <br />this resolution. <br />The draft of the resolution, as it stands, seems to present a notably one-sided view of the Israeli -Palestinian conflict. This <br />approach not only oversimplifies a complex international issue but also risks propagating a narrative that could fuel divisiveness <br />and antisemitism in our community. It is imperative that any statement or resolution from our council reflects a balanced <br />understanding and does not unintentionally align with extreme and misleading viewpoints. <br />I urge the council to reconsider the implications of passing this resolution. It is essential that our community's actions and <br />statements promote peace, truth, and mutual understanding, rather than contributing to the spread of bias and conflict. As <br />decision -makers for our community, you bear the responsibility of ensuring that our actions and endorsements as a city are <br />grounded in fairness and informed perspective. I respectfully request that the council reevaluates this resolution to better reflect <br />these values. <br />Thank you for considering my perspective on this critical issue. I trust that the council will make a decision that truly represents <br />the best interests of all members of our community. <br />Sincerely, <br />
