[8:26] Community member um mother of two small
[8:28] children
[8:30] um I reside in the city of
[8:33] skincity I just am here to say How
[8:36] Deeply disappointed and in some cases
[8:38] ashamed I am of my elected officials
[8:42] from the top of the federal level down
[8:45] through the state to the
[8:49] county for nine months I have witnessed
[8:53] our government Aid and a bet the Israeli
[8:56] government in Waging War and D
[8:59] destruction and death with
[9:03] impuy think two meetings ago I listened
[9:06] to the most ridiculous claim made over
[9:10] and over in pre-written scripts that
[9:13] calling for a cessation of this violence
[9:16] equates to Jew
[9:20] hatred it is insulting to the
[9:22] intelligence into the notion of Peace
[9:25] itself to say that the Mass Slaughter of
[9:28] children and innocence is
[9:32] necessary I wish peace and safety for
[9:34] all but we are never going to get there
[9:37] by obliterating entire cities with bombs
[9:41] and dispossessing people of their land
[9:43] their home their livelihoods their
[9:45] dignities and their basic human rights
[9:49] what kind of precedent are we setting
[9:51] for our future and for our
[9:53] children it is absolutely absurd the
[9:56] starvation the torture the maming of
[9:59] children children the depraved levels of
[10:01] violence and callous cruelty here go
[10:04] beyond the
[10:05] imagination yet those who speak in favor
[10:08] of stopping this violence are vilified
[10:11] we are called divisive we are called
[10:13] terrorists we are called
[10:16] anti-semitic what kind of precedent is
[10:19] this
[10:20] setting I've called countless times
[10:22] Congress people my Senators I have
[10:25] written letters I have signed petitions
[10:28] I have done everything Avenue to hear
[10:30] people at the federal to have people at
[10:32] the federal level hear me and it's
[10:34] falling on deaf ears I see it falling
[10:37] mostly on deaf ears
[10:40] here I come to you as our elected
[10:43] officials to hear your community's voice
[10:46] because this is not just a federal issue
[10:49] this is something that affects us all over the planet it's a human rights
[10:53] issue it's an environmental issue it's a
[10:57] national security issue it is a mental
[11:00] health issue it is anti-Semitic and
[11:03] islamophobic issue it is a taxpayer
[11:06] issue it is a personal family
[11:09] issue so please hear us a diverse group
[11:12] of people directly impacted by the
[11:15] ravages of this country's War
[11:18] campaign advocating for peace Justice
[11:21] and
[11:22] diplomacy innocence all over the world
[11:25] must be protected but really for the
[11:27] children if you cannot see the humanity
[11:30] and a child and do the bare minimum I
[11:32] genuinely question your ability to be an
[11:35] elected official and I question the
[11:37] humanity at all ceasefire is the minimum
[11:41] it should be an arms embargo and end the
[11:44] occupation
[11:46] please thank you thank
[11:50] you Jamaica miles
[12:05] I stand here today as I have many days
[12:08] um to talk about a number of things and
[12:10] to make some corrections the people's
[12:13] resolution does not dissolve this body
[12:15] of its duties and responsibilities to
[12:16] address the call for resolution it is a
[12:19] transparent call and response about the
[12:21] language City residents employees and
[12:24] visitors approve of which
[12:27] includes whereas the uned United States
[12:29] has supplied the state of Israel with
[12:31] more than 122 billion doar in military
[12:33] aid since October 8th 2023 with those
[12:36] while those funds could have been used
[12:38] to support local communities including
[12:40] the more than
[12:42] 28,000 households in the city of SKC who
[12:46] do not earn enough to afford the basic
[12:48] necessities where they
[12:50] live y'all are having conversations
[12:52] about the budget process already y'all
[12:54] are having conversations about what you
[12:56] need to buy here in the city and funds
[12:58] that are needed
[13:01] including the need for signage at our
[13:03] pool a pool that I've attended with my
[13:06] children on multiple occasions so I
[13:08] don't know if anybody else has actually
[13:09] attended gone inside and swam in the
[13:11] pool I have and with my children the
[13:14] placement of the pool rules the signage
[13:16] that is there that list which you can
[13:17] and can't do and when there's Adult Swim
[13:20] which hopefully will also be for seniors
[13:22] as well um there needs to be more
[13:24] signage that's going to cost money I
[13:26] wonder where that's going to come from
[13:28] the pool Fe fees and rules and security
[13:30] that was discussed it referenced
[13:32] localities such as nkuna gildin and
[13:35] Colony as M municipalities around
[13:38] us what about Amsterdam Troy and Albany
[13:43] and their rules either current or in the
[13:45] past that more reflective of the city
[13:48] that we have here than the ones that
[13:49] were already
[13:51] discussed we also talked you also talked
[13:54] about speeding for years community
[13:56] members have asked for Action regarding
[13:57] the speeding in the city and various
[13:59] communities and on very specific streets
[14:02] including Becker we've asked for both
[14:05] temporary and permanent options so
[14:07] options have been given and it includes
[14:10] and none have been received up until
[14:11] this point up until this day Becker has
[14:14] not seen speed feedback signs speed
[14:17] activated speed limit reminder signs
[14:19] additional stop signs or speed bumps all
[14:22] of which are things that have been
[14:25] implemented in other localities but not
[14:27] in a lowincome high majority
[14:29] area such as the Becker Street there
[14:32] also happens to be the safe streets and
[14:34] roads for all grant program at the
[14:36] federal level since we're all worried
[14:37] about money and thinking about money and
[14:39] don't want to talk about that the
[14:41] federal government should invest more of
[14:42] its money in investing in our
[14:44] communities and not in bombs that are
[14:45] killing babies in Palestine over $3
[14:48] billion doar is still available for
[14:50] future funding rounds that's enough but
[14:52] not enough we need to invest more and
[14:54] the federal government could if it
[14:56] wasn't supporting Israel's genocide that
[14:59] is internationally recognized too many
[15:01] communities face harmful racial
[15:03] disparities in traffic enforcement and
[15:05] preventable roadway deaths our goal is
[15:07] to make sure everyone can make it to
[15:08] their destination free of harm
[15:10] discrimination and violence Safe Streets
[15:12] and roads for all Grant is an option and
[15:15] it lists a variety of ways that we can
[15:17] make sure that we have a safe system
[15:19] approach that includes safer people
[15:21] safer Vehicles safer speed safer roads
[15:24] and post crash care so if it's something
[15:26] that this council is not aware of I do
[15:28] hope that you into it as well as
[15:30] consider that while the people's
[15:32] resolution has not been passed by this
[15:34] Council yet it is not too late thank you
[15:37] thank
[15:41] you sah
[15:52] shaima so I'm standing here today on
[15:54] behalf of the Muslim Community more
[15:57] specifically in the city of skex
[16:00] after a council member used our own IM
[16:04] and the word
[16:06] terrorism in the same sentence and we
[16:10] know that's
[16:12] intimidation that's how we feel as
[16:15] members of the community knowing the
[16:17] history of bringing any
[16:30] it's funny how we talk about inclusion
[16:33] but while we are supposed to feel
[16:37] protected we feel
[16:39] intimidated as we stand here to ask for
[16:43] a simple thing and that is to preserve
[16:46] lives for us to see police
[16:49] officers
[16:51] here with the claim that somebody's not
[16:53] feeling safe and then using our own
[16:57] IM and accusing
[17:00] him whether it's called verbal or
[17:03] emotional we
[17:06] know when Muslims are mentioned and
[17:08] terrorism is mentioned we know that it
[17:09] has a history in this country and that
[17:13] was used
[17:18] knowingly and I want to mention
[17:20] something we will never be intimidated
[17:22] disappointed
[17:24] yes but I don't think surprised
[17:29] this week great things
[17:31] happened the people in the UK spoke the
[17:34] people in France spoke I didn't know the
[17:37] people in this city in this County in
[17:39] this state and this country will
[17:43] speak some of you might have known me as
[17:45] a school principal this is my last year
[17:48] as a school principal because this what
[17:51] I'm doing today is going to be my
[17:52] full-time job so I'm not going away I'm
[17:56] even more motivated I'm even more deted
[17:58] determined to fight for the people in
[18:00] this city and to fight for the people
[18:03] around the
[18:05] world two days ago somebody gave me a
[18:07] gift what you're seeing here this is not
[18:09] the one that I usually
[18:11] wear somebody who actually went to the
[18:13] holiest place on Earth for us Muslims
[18:16] felt the need to buy me this because
[18:19] they know what they stand for Friday the
[18:21] holiest day somebody gave me this which
[18:24] says free
[18:25] Palestine and I know because I stood for
[18:29] a free
[18:31] Palestine yesterday we attended an event
[18:33] myself and my kids that was the safest
[18:36] space with the safest people organized
[18:40] by none other than the Jewish voice for
[18:42] peace call him anti-semetic go ahead
[18:45] call him self-hating Jews go ahead but
[18:48] that event was for
[18:50] Palestine I felt
[18:53] safe within that group Jews Christians
[18:57] atheists agnostics
[18:59] my kids my three and 5 year olds they
[19:01] were walking around in that parade with
[19:03] other kids of all colors all religious
[19:06] backgrounds calling for free
[19:09] Palestine free
[19:12] Palestine thank
[19:14] you s
[19:25] KH good evening good evening my name is
[19:29] s wakon and before I continue honoring
[19:31] those murdered by the Israeli military
[19:33] and government I wanted to ask you all a
[19:35] question do you know what it is like to
[19:38] try and speak when you can't be heard or
[19:41] understood for your words to bring you
[19:43] nothing but pain but are still
[19:46] incoherent to those around you because
[19:49] this week I couldn't answer that
[19:51] question until I saw a video of a
[19:53] 12-year-old Palestinian girl from the
[19:56] elnet refugee camp with her job blown
[19:59] off her jaw was in her
[20:02] hand in her
[20:06] hand as she was trying to speak to an
[20:09] overwhelmed and understaffed medical
[20:11] crew and Personnel many of whom have
[20:13] been hostages tortured by the Israeli
[20:16] military and she could not speak I can
[20:20] speak and it is only right for those of
[20:22] us who do not have our Jaws in our hands
[20:25] for those of us who have the freedom of
[20:28] spech speech to speak up for those who
[20:31] are being silenced unfortunately Faith
[20:34] leaders and elected officials those who
[20:37] are meant to empower the community were
[20:39] published in the editorial section of
[20:40] the Daily Gazette last week calling for
[20:43] this body to forbid people like me from
[20:45] speaking to forbid our community to
[20:48] continue to at the very least bear
[20:50] witness to the destruction being brought
[20:53] down upon the Palestinian people that we
[20:55] are complicit in as American taxpayers I
[20:58] I'm horrified to know that the Israeli
[21:00] government can silence young Arab girls
[21:02] with their genocide which apparently has
[21:05] the support of our community so-called
[21:08] leaders who want to silence Young
[21:10] American women in skty let me remind you
[21:13] what these so-called leaders do not want

[25:34] still on March 25th 2024 WTN Channel 10
[25:39] city leaders stated that speeding is
[25:41] everywhere in the city but city engineer
[25:43] Chris will stated Kings Road is the
[25:46] worst but still nothing's been done on
[25:47] this
[25:49] road the city put stop signs on Council
[25:52] Road and in stock on unit Street and a
[25:54] stockade to slow traffic down and all
[25:57] other safety measures
[26:00] that's three minutes
[26:02] already let me let me summarize on
[26:04] something else real
[26:06] quick I I request the
[26:09] foil of the uh the sensor report from
[26:12] June 16th to June 24 of this month of
[26:15] this year on 616 346 cars doing anywhere
[26:21] between 35 and
[26:23] 60 on 617 459 cars 5 to 65 I need you to
[26:30] summarize sir one minute please it get it gets better on 618 479 four
[26:37] cars over 70 M an hour this is
[26:40] ridiculous please do something about
[26:42] this road thank you thank
[26:46] you Frank wix
[27:05] see we started back in March calling for
[27:08] a
[27:09] ceasefire there in uh Gaza since then
[27:13] about 30,000 people Palestinians have
[27:16] been killed the estimate maybe go up to
[27:19] 180,000 they've destroyed culture
[27:22] they've destroyed university schools
[27:24] it's uh Israel is not protect themselves
[27:28] this is sadistic uh but it's too too
[27:31] late to talk about a ceasefire uh what
[27:34] do we ought the thing right now is
[27:36] cutting off all funds uh to Israel now
[27:39] the uh I I I remember
[27:42] 1948 I may be the only one remembering
[27:45] 1948 but uh in May of 1948 har Truman
[27:50] recognized Israel he came from behind to
[27:53] get
[27:54] elected uh his secretary of state George
[27:57] Mar maral warned against
[28:00] it and for good reasons we now know uh
[28:04] he he was called
[28:07] anti-semitic uh Albert Einstein a Jew uh
[28:12] thought the Arabs and
[28:13] uh Palestinians Jews ought Liv together
[28:17] he he he was called a self-hating Jew
[28:20] they're still using those terms comments
[28:23] in The Gazette the other day over why we
[28:25] should not use this forum it talks about
[28:29] anti-Semitism and uh suggesting self you
[28:32] know self-hating Jews when they first
[28:34] came here uh I came with I came with a
[28:37] Jewish friend of mine who shares my
[28:40] feelings so I my my impression is most
[28:43] Jews are totally upset over what's
[28:47] happening and most young people are it's
[28:50] people of my own age who have been
[28:52] brainwashed and uh indoctrinated to
[28:55] thinking Israel was a good thing until
[28:56] we learned otherwise
[28:58] uh they got their Adam Bomb by stealing
[29:02] uh uranium from Apollo Pennsylvania in
[29:05] 1966 uh it's it's beyond uh denial uh
[29:11] they uh 67 they basically attacked
[29:15] killed Sailors on on one of the ships uh
[29:18] the uh the the 911 attack on the United
[29:23] States was done by enemies that made by
[29:26] the United States by supporting Israel then baited us into a a war in
[29:31] Afghanistan and
[29:33] Iraq and right now they're trying to
[29:36] beate us into a war in Lebanon and
[29:39] Iran so uh he'll give Joe Biden credit
[29:43] for you know resisting this but at some
[29:46] point you know so so right now the best
[29:49] thing we can do is cut off all funding
[29:52] to Israel it's going to be hard but it
[29:54] has to start with partitioning our local Congressman Paul tono and uh
[30:01] Senator Schumer and Jilla brand uh it's
[30:05] going to be a tough sell but it's best
[30:07] we can do and conect to Y to think about
[30:10] a resolution to uh basically defund
[30:15] Israel thank
[30:19] you I have no one else signed up to
[30:21] speak so I declare the public comment of
[30:23] City business
