A city council meeting in Richmond, California devolved into a shouting match after the Bay Area officials passed a resolution accusing Israel of ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Palestinians.
According to Fox News, “The measure, which states that Palestinians are ‘currently facing a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment by the state of Israel,’ passed in the Bay Area city of Richmond early Wednesday morning by a 5-1 vote. A public comment hearing that lasted for hours leading up to the vote became heated at times with shouting between audience members.”
“I’m a Richmond resident and of Jewish heritage. I totally oppose this resolution because it is full of lies that will only incentivize the Hamas Nazi terrorists and their supporters and add to the suffering of the poor Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank for decades,” one resident said, adding that “this resolution supports the goals of the Palestinian dictatorships to kill all Jews and destroy Israel.”
“Please vote no on this resolution,” another woman said. “Do not greenlight the endless attempts to kill more Jews.”
