As the war continues to escalate between Israel and Hamas, the city of Richmond is weighing in on the international crisis.

The City Council overnight Wednesday passed a resolution in support of the people of Palestine, according to the Jewish News of Northern California, a move the local Palestinian community is applauding.

“I applaud the city of Richmond for taking this seriously. Personally, my friends have been attacked at UC Berkeley walking home for just for wearing a Kufiya,” said Luqman Elbakri of Berkeley.

The resolution was to “affirm the city’s support and solidarity with the Palestinian people of Gaza,” something members of the local Jewish community are calling "antisemitic."

An amendment was added to the resolution, acknowledging the death toll in both Israel and Palestine.

Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez explained why the council is taking the stance now.

“The people of the United States whose government and tax dollars directly support Israel’s military, have an immediately moral obligation to condemn Israel's acts of collective punishment in the apartheid state,” he said.

Typical liberals showing their true colors.

When the next Civil War begins, remember all of the trash that needs to be taken out.

Permanently.

I emailed the Mayor of city of Richmond, CA a message with link to article that described the non-Hamas citizens of Gaza following Hamas doing the same brutal animal like genocide on the Israeli’s where they invaded Israel. So the public of Gaza is as evil, cruel and brainwashed as Hamas is.

Gave him a wake-up call the he will ignore.

These Pali Mohammedans can’t operate or function normally a small strip of Gaza land even with lots of international help. Gaza is proof positive they would eff up a homeland on a greater scale. Even if Israel was removed entirely these Mohammedans of emotional rage would fight each other. Guaran damn teed.
