Flores, Dora <br />From: Ariel Kopelioff < <br />Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2024 5:44 PM <br />To: Amezcua, Valerie; Lopez, Jessie; Phan, Thai; Bacerra, Phil; Penaloza, David <br />Subject: Thank you for your continued integrity and vigilant dedication to public service <br />Dear Councilmembers, <br />I am very concerned that community members demanding a resolution for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have <br />seemed to target councilmembers. Councilmembers who have opposed ceasefire resolutions have been subjected to <br />harassment and threats. No elected official should be ridiculed or targeted for a vote they made in their official <br />capacities. <br />As a member of the local Jewish community, I ask you to oppose the Ceasefire Resolution listed as Agenda Item #18 of <br />March 5, 2024, Santa Ana City Council meeting. <br />No one wants the war between Israel and Hamas to continue. We are all watching the international media for news of a <br />negotiated peace that acknowledges Israelis' and Palestinians' right to exist in peace. This resolution does not express <br />such sentiment. <br />Santa Ana has long been considered a crucial community hub in Orange County. Your work on the council has been a <br />beacon for unity and a voice for progress. Please do not let the loudest voices in the room derail your commitment to <br />Santa Ana specifically or to participatory democracy in general. <br />Your continued integrity and vigilant dedication to public service should never be sacrificed nor should your safety ever <br />be threatened. You have shown unparalleled courage at an unprecedented time. Thank you for being the standard <br />bearers of responsible government. <br />Please reject Agenda Item #18 and oppose all further discussion of items that are outside the jurisdiction of the City of <br />Santa Ana. <br />Thank you. <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
