Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Vote NO on ceasefire resolution: Keep our city safe!

Warning: This email originated from outside the City of Anaheim. Do not click links or open a?achments unless you
recognize the sender and are expec?ng the message.
As your cons?tuents and concerned Americans we urge the Anaheim City Council to vote NO on any ceasefire resolu?on
regarding the war in Gaza.
Sadly, the Anaheim City Council members have allowed themselves to be dragged into a discussion about a ceasefire
resolu?on, which is part of Hamas’ global PR campaign to cover up their double war crimes against Israelis and
Pales?nians. Make no mistake about it - any par?cipa?on in Hamas’ PR campaign emboldens them to commit further
atroci?es against our only democra?c ally in the Middle East, Pales?nians, and increased violence against Jewish people
in the world, the U.S., and par?cularly in Anaheim \[1-2\]. Considering you have no authority regarding foreign policy, have
you considered that vo?ng on a ceasefire resolu?on is misguided? Your job as a city council member would be much
be?er served making sure your Jewish cons?tuents are kept safe, given the rampant an?semi?sm by pro-Hamas support
groups (e.g., CAIR, SJP, AMP) afflic?ng the city \[3-4\].
Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 as a gesture towards peace \[5\]. True to form, Hamas took over Gaza (2007) and
responded with kidnappings and 30,000 rocket a?acks against Israel for the last few decades \[6-8\]. On October 7, 2023,
Hamas a?acked Israel on land that was within the boundaries of the par??on defined in the original UN Par??on Plan –
UN Resolu?on 181 (in 1947). There was a ceasefire in place prior to October 7th and Hamas, as usual, broke it. Hamas
uses ceasefires for two reasons: to re-supply and to catch Israel off guard – as it did on October 7th. Any ceasefires
Hamas has nego?ated with Israel over the years have ALWAYS been broken by… Hamas. Who are we kidding here?
Hamas leaders have stated very clearly that when possible, they will commit October 7th over and over again \[9\]. The
Hamas Charter states, “Israel will exist un?l Islam obliterates it,” and “The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, there is a
Jew behind me, come and kill him’” \[10\]. Do you honestly believe Israel is dealing with a legi?mate peace partner?
As an arm of the notorious Muslim Brotherhood \[11\], Hamas is a barbaric terrorist organiza?on that has taken innocent
hostages (Americans, Israelis, and Foreign Na?onals) and boasts of hiding among Pales?nian civilians to increase
casual?es as a PR strategy to try and delegi?mize Israel \[12\]. Numerous U.S. military experts have stated that Israel’s
record of protec?ng civilians in warfare exceeds that of any other military in the world \[13-15\]. According to interna?onal
law and ethics, Israeli and Pales?nian deaths fall squarely on Hamas’ shoulders. The only way for this war to end is for
Hamas to surrender and return the hostages.
Please vote NO on this ceasefire resolu?on and bring a ra?onal approach to a situa?on that has run amok.
Thank you,
