body
Submitted by:
Alderpersons Morgan and Fuerst
Department:
Common Council
A. Background/Rationale
The City should consider showing support for Israel due to current terror attacks that included American deaths and hostages, given the precedent of showing similar support for the Ukrainian people and community.
B. Key Issues for Consideration
With recent world and national condemnation of terror attacks on Israel, the City should show appropriate support for the people of Israel and Gaza, local Jewish and Palestinian communities, and cause of peace while recognizing the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people. We should also condemn all acts of terrorism and discrimination based on race, religion or nationality.
C. Fiscal Impact
None
D. Requested Action
If acceptable, recommend the Common Council approve the attached resolution.
