Araiza, Fatima <br />From: Zara M < <br />Sent: Monday, December 04, 2023 5:20 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Santa Ana Council <br />Good evening, <br />Please stand with Israel, the only democratic country in the Middle East who saw 1400 civillians murdered without <br />warning on October 7, 2023. Israel has a right to defend itself. Israel goes to extreme efforts to minimize civillian <br />casualties by sending leaflets via airplanes and making thousands of phone calls. There is no other army that would put <br />their own military strategies at risk (by surrendering their ability to perform surprise attacks, which would certainly be <br />more effective) to help the opposing people. The IDF is only acting in self-defense of its nation. In an interview last week, <br />Hamas stated that October 7th was just practice. Prior to this they stated they will commit October 7th again and again <br />and again. When terrorists say they will kill, they need to be believed. Israel should continue to defend itself. There was <br />a ceasefire on October 6th, but Hamas did not abide by it. They state clearly they do not plan on abiding by any <br />ceasefires moving forward. Asking for a ceasefire is asking Israelis to walk into gas chambers. While that may have been <br />the case for their grandparents, that will not be the case now. Never again. <br />Trang Do <br />
