Noelia Corzo brought a solidarity with a cease-fire in Gaza statement before the San Mateo County Medical Center Board on Monday. We commend the board for abstaining and staying out of international affairs that do not concern San Mateo County. This was an absolute waste of a local governing body’s time and resources. These resolutions have brought only division and a rise in antisemitic attacks in our local community and in our children’s schools. While not only completely irrelevant to the county’s medical center and health department, it also failed to point out that Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organization. A terrorist organization that kidnapped Israeli and American civilians and children, brutally raped women, and deliberately absorbs health care and critical aid intended for Gazan civilians.Â
A similar call to agendize a cease-fire resolution was brought to the San Mateo City Council Monday evening. Sam Hindi recently tried bringing a similar resolution to the Foster City Council. We are grateful to both councils for not agendizing this issue and continuing to focus their efforts on local matters.Â
All this begs the question, why the fascination with Israel, the only Jewish state? Where is their passion for Ukraine, the Christians in Nigeria or the countless Muslims who have been murdered by militant extremists in the Middle East and Africa?Â
We urge Ms. Corzo to stop virtue signaling in an attempt to grow her political career, but to do the local job she was elected to do. Otherwise, she is welcome to run for office in Gaza.
