Letter to the Editor,

Dear Commissioners,
Re: Reconsideration of resolution condemning massacre of Israeli citizens: https://www.ajc.com/neighborhoods/cobb/cobb-commission-withdraws-resolution-supporting-israel/XP35FLACZBDEHCJWSLPDQLQLWA/

While it’s a fair question to ask whether Cobb County’s elected officials should have a foreign policy, the question here is a whether the Commission should refrain from vehemently protesting the actions of an international mob and mindset that has as its stated goal the genocidal destruction of the Jewish people, including anyone in this community who might be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

One would hope that members of the Commission know the difference between a dispute over some zoning ordinance and another that was intentionally escalated through premeditated government sponsored murders that were intended to invite a heavy response with foreknowledge that civilians would be put cynically and intentionally at grave risk by those, who as we’ve seen recently and many times in the past, are perfectly willing to lie through their teeth.

Why would they do such a thing? Perhaps you should read the Hamas charter and ask yourselves: Do these people really want anything other than a holy war? Here is the link: https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/hamas-2017.pdf

It’s time to stand up against moral turpitude especially when it’s wrapped in self-righteous indignation. Anything else is complicity.

With appreciation for your service to the community, please show leadership in this matter for others to follow.

Sincerely,
Spencer Reibman, Cobb County Voter
