More city councils in California have weighed in on the Israel-Hamas war with calls for a cease-fire, often setting off major debates and discord at public meetings.
In the last month, the Irvine City Council has focused on the mundane, everyday decisions that typify local government. Officials took steps to relocate a children's museum to the Great Park and considered expanding transit options in the city, Orange County's third largest. They agreed to put stop signs at a busy intersection near a neighborhood school, fulfilling a desire many residents have voiced for years.
One woman called council members 'traitors to this country' and 'spies for Israel.' Others called council members 'murderers' and 'racist Zionists' who support apartheid and genocide. 'I am outraged over the hateful and deeply antisemitic behavior we saw at Tuesday’s Council meeting,' Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín wrote on social media in response to the protesters.
