HomeMy WebLinkAbout122023 email Israel_Palestine ResolutionTo Kate, Heidi, and Greg,
I want to thank you and your staff for moving quickly to pass this resolution on Monday. While it doesn't explicitly call for a ceasefire, I believe it is a strong statement.
As a Jewish person whose family, mostly, escaped the Holocaust; and as an American whose government is enabling the current genocide in Gaza, it is excruciating to witness what is taking
place in Gaza and in the West Bank.
I remember, as a child, asking my mom how people could have let the Holocaust happen. Now I understand. We're seeing history repeat itself before our very eyes.
Thank you for not standing by in silence.
With gratitude,
Lori Bernstein
