To the San Juan County Council:

I am writing as one of the many of San Juan County residents that you do not represent.

Your silly Proclamation vis-s-vis Israel and the Palestinians serves only one purpose and that is to demonstrate that the three of you are not sufficiently intelligent to realize that you have aligned yourselves with those who seek to eliminate the State of Israel and kill all Jews.

If this was about “ a vibrant, inclusive, just, and diverse community that fosters peace, mutual tolerance, and respect for each other’s dignity, privacy, freedoms, and responsibilities” you would have made a proclamation on October 8 against a Terrorist attack.

Thank you for showing your true anti-Semitic selves to the community, that will be remembered.

With all due respect,

Derek Steere,
