The undersigned feel very strongly that the currently drafted resolution before the Rockland County Legislature regarding the conflict in Israel/Palestine is one-sided and promotes further misunderstanding and inflames conflict rather than peace and justice. We ask that any decision be postponed and a public meeting be held to discuss drafting a resolution that truly represents support for peace and justice.

The conversation surrounding this resolution has been complex and reveals how much our community values a thoughtful approach to global issues. My focus now is on organizing the feedback I have gathered so that we can present a clear argument for a more balanced path forward at the next legislative opportunity.

The steady growth of this petition shows a profound communal desire for a more balanced and thoughtful approach to this resolution. This momentum confirms that people in our county are looking for a path toward peace that acknowledges the complexity of the situation.

PLEASE listen to the people. Rushing this without any real public input is just gonna make everything worse.

Way too one sided. Disappointed in our local reps for not even trying to foster actual dialogue.

Why the rush? Sit down and talk to the community first. We deserve to be heard.

This resolution is a bad idea. We need to hear from everyone before pushing something like this through.
