Bridgeport Doubles Down on Hate: Truth is Always the First Victim
To the City Council of Bridgeport:
The Committee on G-d and Truth hereby Reports and Recommends:
Resolution calling for the Condemnation of the anti-Semitic City Council of Bridgeport
Whereas, all life is precious and the discriminate killing of innocent civilians on the grounds of their religious heritage is evil, and
Whereas, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians on the grounds of their mere employment by or association with people of a particular religious heritage is evil, and
Whereas, Islamic terrorists have carried out more than 44,539 deadly terror attacks since 9/11, 145 in the last thirty days in 22 countries, killing 823 people and injuring 805 more, and the City Council has found no reason to comment, and
Whereas, for one example, Nearly 200 Nigerians Killed in Christmas Eve Massacre. Again, the City Council found no reason to comment, and
Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas, the elected government of Gaza breached its border with Israel and carried out a military attack killing approximately 1300 Israelis and abducting at least 246, and
Whereas, Hamas is still holding at least 136 hostages, and
Whereas, the Arabs that fashion themselves Palestinians have engaged in tens of thousands of attacks upon the Jews of Israel; the City Council found no reason to comment, and
Whereas, Hamas has spent billions in Western aid to create an underground military complex, and
Whereas, “57% of respondents in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believe Hamas was correct in launching the October attack,” Palestinian poll shows a rise in Hamas support and close to 90% wanting US-backed Abbas to resign, Associated Press, Dec. 13, 2023 and
Whereas, Hamas has declared that, given the opportunity, it would repeat October 7 over and over again until there are no Jews left, and
Whereas, the City Council has not condemned the killing of hundreds of thousands of Muslims at the hands of other Muslims, and
Whereas, the City Council has not condemned the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Muslims at the hands of other Muslims, and
Whereas, a ceasefire inures mostly to the benefit of Hamas, and
Whereas, the City Council has no expertise in foreign affairs, and
Whereas, the City Council only seems concerned about “violence” when Muslims die, and
Whereas, Muslims are only concerned about “Palestinian” deaths when caused by Jews, and
Whereas, Radical Islam is destroying the West: Radical Islam has destroyed the ‘city of love’ Paris..., and
Whereas, The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart…Thanks to ideology the twentieth century was fated to experience evildoing calculated on a scale in the millions.…Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth.
—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
Whereas, Israel is the only state that protects Western values in the Middle East, and
Whereas, singling out one country—Israel—for condemnation while remaining silent to the atrocities committed in the world of its opponents (in just the Middle East, fifty times the people in six hundred times the land area) and in the rest of the world, is anti-semitic, and
Whereas, the denial of truth is the beginning of the road to totalitarianism,
Now therefore it is recommended that:
- the Members of the City Council who voted for Miscellaneous Matters Resolution No. 20-23 be required to declare to what they are loyal,
- they be required to learn about the interminable suffering that has been the diet of the Jews since there were Jews,
- they learn about the culture of hate that is Islam, particularly its genocidal expressions in both Gaza and Judea and Samaria,
- they fix their city before they try to tell others how to fix the world,
- they be condemned for their participation in the offensive, anti-Semitic Resolution No. 20-23,
- they retract that horrible screed,
- they apologize to the good citizens of this city who can see evil for what it is, who understand that war is brutal, that sometimes it is necessary, and that there are always civilian casualties, and
- they look into their own hearts and ask forgiveness from G-d for this reprehensible expression of evil.
