Subject:EXTERNAL - vote for CEASEFIRE in GAZA
Hello,
My name is Nadia Jafri and I am a constituent. I am requesting you to please vote YES
for a Ceasefire in Gaza resolution.
After the US's most recent veto of the Security Council Ceasefire Resolution today, I am
so ashamed of what our great country has become.
For a few weeks after the Oct 7 attacks, I was in complete sympathy for the Israeli
victims and my unequivocal support was with them and their country.
But since then I have seen a right wing, extremist government's campaign of slaughter,
starvation, terror.... and quite frankly, a GENOCIDE that I can no longer ignore.
Our government's complicity in this horror is undeniable. So I beseech you, recognizing
that the city council's passing a ceasefire resolution will not affect anything that is going
on in Gaza today, please please please show that world that the fine citizenry of Gilroy
sees beyond party lines, and supports innocent civilians right to live a life free of terror
that has lasted over 135 days.
May God bless us all and may He forgive us our sins.
Thank you.
