The Richmond City Council passed a resolution this week claiming the city supports the Palestinian people and accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing. The meeting lasted several hours and ended in a 5-1 vote.
"Richmond is not a city that welcomes us," said Arnen Oren, an Israeli native and long-time Richmond business owner. "I feel unwelcomed here. That move from the city council was dysfunctional and should not have happened."
"It is good news in what has been three weeks of just horrifying tragedy," said Zahra Billoo, the CEO of the Bay Area Chapter for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "We are on the precipice of a genocide, and despite that, politicians, Hollywood celebrities and school districts have all been continuing to repeat they stand with Israel.""Richmond was courageous last night," she said.
