From:Dorah To:Public Comments; Mayor Marie Blankley; All Council Members Subject:EXTERNAL - Vote for Hilton’s Ceasefire Resolution! Date:Saturday, February 24, 2024 4:43:16 PM Having heard of watered down resolutions to the Ceasefire Resolution , I urge Mayor Blankley and all Council members to vote for the community created ceasefire resolution at Monday’s meeting. That resolution, introduced by Zach Hilton, will send a strong message to our federal government and Israel from we taxpaying American citizens. The alternate resolutions were produced by zionists who do not want any restrictions on Israel, no matter how much killing and destruction takes place or how much instability and spillover violence is resulting. Do not substitute for the original resolution! I am a Jewish American who belongs to a Reform Temple - our family here has been antizionist since before Israel was constituted as a modern nation state, for four generations. Political Zionism was not a part of Judaism before the Nazis killed so many of us in Europe, including relatives on both sides of my family. Many, many Jews worldwide do not support Israel. Many, many Jews who support Israel are for a ceasefire because they hate the killing and destruction and also feel the blowback against Israel and the US will be strong and long lasting. Pass the ceasefire resolution as it was originally introduced!

Our federal politicians need to know that instead of spending $$$ on bombing and destruction, that money can go to help us recover from climate disasters, improve our health and education systems, protect our beautiful environment and make Gilroy an even better place. AGENDA ITEM #11.1 02/26/2024 REGULAR MEETING The US, Israel, and the world are less safe with all the attacks and counterattacks going on. Please send a strong message to Rep. Lofgren, Senators Butler and Padilla and our misguided President by passing a resolution for Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Thank you, Dorah Rosen
