At last Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, the Del Norte County Republican Central Committee addressed supervisors and delivered a support resolution, “Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric attacks launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” With four separate paragraphs, the resolution declares the following:• WHEREAS on October 7, rocket attack perpetrated by the terrorist organization, Hamas, began to hit major cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Within the hour, Hamas fighters poured into Israeli territory. They viciously and cruelly targeted civilians, kidnapping, killing and leaving a trail of terror; and• WHEREAS the Hamas attacks have targeted Israeli Jews and Arabs undermining the peaceful coexistence and harmony that must undergird any resolution to the ongoing political conflict; and• WHEREAS the Committee recognizes the importance of supporting the State of Israel, a democratic nation that shares our values of freedom, democracy, and human rights, in its efforts to protect its citizens from acts of terrorism and ensure their safety and security; and#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');• WHEREAS the Committee affirms the inalienable human rights enshrined in our nation’s Constitution of freedom, liberty and the right to protect its country at all costs.• BE IT RESOLVED that on October 18, 2023, the Del Norte Republican Central Committee hereby unequivocally condemns the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and its citizenry.City Councilor Jason Greenough brought a similarly-worded resolution to the Crescent City Council, last October but the resolution failed to pass on a 1-4 vote.
