Dear City Council Members,
I submitted this letter to you all on Thursday of last week and did not see it addressed at your meeting this past Tuesday. I
also do not see it on the archive of this past meeting on the city website. Please let me know why and what I should do to
get your attention on this matter.
Thank you,
Nancy

Dear City Council Members,
I am a U.S. citizen and have been a resident of Anaheim almost all of my life. I love my city. I believe it is time for our city
to stand up for humanity and pass a resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Our resolution should demand
the release of all hostages (Palestinian and Israeli), it should call for unrestricted entry of humanitarian assistance into
Gaza. It should demand the restoration of food, water, electricity, and medical supplies to Gaza. Our resolution should
demand for the respect of international law, and it should call for a resolution that protects the security of all innocent
civilians in Gaza.
The veil has been lifted and like me the majority of the world will never be the same after witnessing mass murder, crimes
against humanity, and international laws and Geneva Convention accords being violated by the Government of Israel.
As stated by the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the attacks by Hamas on October 7th did not
happen in a vacuum.
Palestinians have been living under oppression for 75 years. Their homes literally stolen at gunpoint by settlers that were
not even born in Palestine. If you don't know the history, please do your research and learn factual historical events.
It's come to light that the Israeli Government never wanted to live in peace with Palestinians because their intentions
were always to seize all of Palestine to call it Israel. Please do not fall into the false narrative that Palestinians want to
destroy all jews. That is a false pretext put in place to justify the killing and land theft of Palestinians.
I hope and will be demanding that our city do the right thing. The moral thing. Stand up for humanity. Enough is enough.
No more killing babies, kids, children, women and men who are all innocent and are civilians.
Thank you for reading my message. I do expect it to be present at the next City Council Meeting.
I look forward to your response.

Best,
Nancy Mendez
