She said she will be the first of many voices to ask for peace. She came to ask for support of a ceasefire resolution. Over 35000 civilian lives have been lost already; many have lost limbs and require ongoing medical care that they do not have access to. 80% of Israel's arms are imported from the US, we have a special resposibity to call for a ceasefire. This is not about choosing sides; it is to stop asserts the need for the murder, forced starvation and abuse to stop. Humanitarian aid needs  VILLAGE OF LIBERTYVILLE    Board of Trustees Village Board Meeting Minutes  May 14, 2024  to be allowed into Palestine. Two-thirds of voters support the US calling for a permanent ceasefire. This aligns with our values and fostering a culture of peace. As representatives of our community there is a duty to advocate forj justice and human rights, not only within our borders but also on a global scale leveraging our collective voice amplifying the call for this ceasefire. Dr. Mohammad Bhawani of 1423 Plumwood Drive, Libertyville, came to speak on a grim condition int the world. He shared his experience of leaving his birth country of Pakistan in 1980. During his travels over he was offered ham and another passenger told him not to eat it. Dr. Bhawani was not familiar with pork or ham at the time. This was a Jewish couple who were looking out for him. He believes that if this couple were here today, they would probably agree with him on the call for a cease fire. There have been too many lives lost on both sides - Israeli and Palestinian. He is a physician and was taught first do no harm; politicians should do the same. When he is faced with ac difficult patient, he sends them to get a different approach. These governments need a different approach, he said; nothing is working right now. Palestine does not have schools, there are fewer children and teachers. He asked that we all ask for forgiveness and ask for a way that is helpful to Pastor Ben Squires of 1098 Fuller Road Gurnee IL came to ask to pass a resolution to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Palestine. As a Christians he has seen Christians and churches and holy places have been eliminated. He acknowledged that the church has been on the wrong side many times; that is why he speaks today. He condemned Hamas, called for the release of hostages and for a ceasefire sO that a peaceful solution can be found. He asked: what does it matter if Libertyville called for this? In the early days of the Holocaust, many did not feel it was the US's role to intervene in how Germans were treated. That was a wrong decision. He said this is our chance to make a different choice. He said we should let our voices be heard and be on the right side of history. He said when people write about 2024, they can it started when local Satnaam Mago 5N620, Chambellan Ln Wayne IL, wanted to share his fears. He is scared of disunity in our community and free speech being rolled back, scared of FOX news and senators talking about nuking bodies. People say this is not a local issue but when our dollars go there it is. Scared of looking in the mirror look at the civil rights movement; scared that it takes 10-15 years to admit that we were on the wrong side of history. He is scared of voter apathy when people feel like their voices aren't heard at the federal level and told all politics are local and then the local politicians ignore them. Our taxes are financing this slaughter. Peace is always the correct move. Forty-five minutes from Gaza is Tel-Aviv and there people are sipping espressos. This is not to trivialize October 7", but what is happening right now is revenge. It is not self- defense; it is revenge against a civilian population. If people think this will lead to safety and securty for isreal and not result in a cycle of violence at American taxpayer expense, they are Mai Asad 28575 Oakhaven Ct Lake Bluff IL thanked the Board for the opportunity to speak. She is soon to be an LHS grad and is a proud Palestinian. She stands to request a ceasefire. Among the most precious components of a society is children. 14000 children have already been killed. We see images of children being starved and killed and we are here for children who are not disposable. She is here to say that she is not disposable. She told the story of Hind, a16 year old Palestinian. She was heard pleading with her mother on the phone while she was stuck inside acary with her decomposing family members. The ambulance that was to reach her was bombed meters from the cars she was in. Ift that were me, would Libertyville have vocalized their stance against such brutalization? hope the answer is yes.

Now you know, Palestinians are your people. By not following Nancy Romanchek 51 Cambridge Lane is adjunct prof teaching health equity. In her capacity as a hospice nurse has taken care of many Jewish families. It was from a Jewish family that she learned about the birthright project where Jews are being recruited to Israel, as Palestinians are being forcibly evicted from their homes. Ms. Romanchek learned of the occupation of Palestine was from a speaker who was Jewish and was shocked tol learn oft the Palestinians treatment. Let's talk about Hamas. Hamas arose from an ideology that the world ignored. This conflict does not give license to destroy and kill everything in its path. The root oft this conflict is greed, greed for land. The US is complicit fori ignoring the conditions that condone this violence. The US has a history of advocating for the opporesed even when difficult. Instead in this conflict the US is Pastor Mark Rollenhagen of 2048 Hickory St Waukegan is here with a heavy heart. The last time he was here with Lake Co United to talk about affordable housing in Lake County. That day, he was with the leaders from Or Shalom in Vernon Hills and from the Islamic Foundation North. These three places have worked together toi improve the lives of Lake County. The war in Gaza weighs heavily on him. As a Christian he feels like he is watching two friends engaged in deep deep confilct. He urged the Board to pass a resolution to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It is nothing less than a humanitarian crisis that people of conscious cannot ignore, he said. There is a responsibility to speak, and no voice is too small. His Conference of Bishops just Mohammad Abdallah of 1039 Rosewood Ter Libertyville, moved here 24 years ago to raise a family. He started by reviewing facts: the war started 75 years ago with the Zionist occupation of Palestine. Isreealis were carrying out bombings before oct7. There was no peace before October 7th, at least not for Palestinians. Many mosques and churches have been destroyed. Israel bombed United Nations aid workers, journalists, babies, women, children. Israel is committing atrocities ini the West Bank, where Hamas is not present. Most of the people killed are women and children. A ceasefire can put this genocide to rest.. These are not just numbers they are human beings. To give a scale, Israel has killed people equal to the population of Vernon Hills and Syed Karim of 14155 Rodwell Ct Libertyville IL is asking for an immediate ceasefire. He is not asking if Israel is committing genocide that has been answered by Isreal's own scolars. They call ita genocide. He is asking the Board not to look the other way. Do not look the other way because iti is no longer a liabiliyt to speak out.

Beenish Tanvir of1855 Chippendale Rd Hoffman Estates IL came to address the matter that strikes att the heart of our community's values. We cannot turn a blind eye to our actions. This is a local issue. The taxes are funding miliarty aid. Every dollar perpetuates this cycle. This is a local issue as the local Palestinians are living in anguish. Aceasefire resolution would be a lifeline, a beacon of hope, a concrete step towards change. Passing a ceasefire is not unprecedented. Throughout history cities and towns have been at the forefront of change. Heed the lessons of the past and the urgency of the presetn. together let's raise our voices. Let us not be neutral. Farzeen Harunani Palatine IL said that small things that bring her joy but even these are a luxury for those in Gaza it is. They can't have a cup of coffee, chips and salsa. These seem noocuous unless doing a collective punishment. Cookies were banned. No one is allowed to leave. ityou got too close the the fence, you might get shot. Then there was a temp cease fire, and children  VILLAGE OF LIBERTYVILLE    Board of Trustees Village Board Meeting Minutes  May 14, 2024  were jumping for joy. Imagine growing up in this prison. Aid workeres and doctors are being killed. She asked all to imagine this, but there are people in this room that do not have to imagine this because it is happending to their family. No on should have to know this. She pleaded with Mohammad Alsanaf 2180 Irene Ln, is a Libertyville resident. He said it is difficult to pretend he is the most affected, as his wife and children are at home, and he knows he can drive home and have a pleasant evening. In Gaza and palestine they do not have that faith, there is no safety. Safety is a human right. The second issue he brought up: he is a health care provider and has been on medical missions and he knows of fellow health care workers that are trapped in Gaza and cannot get out. They have no choices. These workers say it is the worst thing they have ever seen. The third issue he addressed is America's standing ini the world. We stand up for values. This is how people see us. We cannot be silent. Our tax dollas are being used to harm human beings. They Mayor earlier told the next generation to stand up for what is right. Let's do Dr Zahra Qasem 28575 Oakahve Ct Lake Bluff said that health infrastructure in Gaza has been decimated. The WHO estimated that 9000 critically ill patients need to be evacuated to get care. Pregnant women have been denied care by IDF snipers. Over 183 women per day give birth without pain releif. Horrifying details are emerging from mass graves in Gaza. As an American-Palestinan physician she feels called to use her knowledge, obligated to speak up to ask her community to stand on the right side of history and to not ignore the atrocities. She asked Rev Kathryn Freund of 318 WI Ridgeland Ave Waukegan IL said the foundation of her religion is enmeshed in Abrahamic faith. Speaking only from the frame of the gospels, 14000 children died during the slaughter of the innocents she said. It is our moral imperative to resist the dehumanization of other people and to fight against antisemitism and islamophobia. All religions Manson Qureshi of 848 Bluebird St Deerfield IL asked Libertyville to adopt a ceasefire resolution. Libertyville on its own cannot stop this but a vote here could influence decisions made by the Biden admin whose decisions are affecting those in Gaza. US provides billions in arms. Food and medical supplies are in short supply. Recently there have been attempts at a ceasefire, and Israel did not accept. Isreal has the intent to contniue this genocie but can only do that with US support. Until the US stands up they will not slow down. He asked the Board to be a part of the solution: show the Biden administration, who has the power to stop this today, who needs our Maryan Othman of 1051 Sweetflower Dr in Hoffman Estates said Isreal is using starvation as a weapon. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. She was here to advocate for hundreds of thousands of children; children who are dying from starvation. This is why an immediate ceasefire is needed sO aid can reach these people. UNICEF said 1 in 3 under 3 years old suffer from acute malnutrition. Pope Francis called, for ceasefire. Many of us pray for world peace. Supporting and passing a ceasefire is putting those prayers into action. We are not asking top pass natying that is illegal or detrimental, she said. Over 100 cities have passed a resolution like this. She asked as local representatives to show concern. Let's also bring the hostages home Manrie Navarro of 512 Meadow Lane, spoke on behalf on concerned people in D128 to bring to your attention that the imminent impending initiatives that were snuck under the radar that are hijacking our shool.
