A resolution supporting Palestinians in Gaza that has drawn mixed reactions and outrage from some locals in Richmond, California, has passed.

A California city council has passed a controversial resolution backing Palestinians in Gaza that some local Israeli supporters say will 'only incentivize the Hamas Nazi terrorists' and 'green-light the endless attempts to kill more Jews.' The measure, which states that Palestinians are 'currently facing a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment by the state of Israel,' passed in the Bay Area city of Richmond this morning by a 5-1 vote.

Israel has offered to end the blockade if Hamas releases its hostages, but the Palestinian terrorist group has been holding firm, effectively prolonging the suffering. 'Israel is now engaged in an ethnic cleansing campaign by explicitly requiring 2 million Palestinians to leave Gaza immediately or risk being bombed in their homes by the Israeli army,' the resolution says.
