The Manistee County Democratic Party
Resolution
Whereas the vision of the Manistee County Democratic Party strives for justice, equity, and universal dignity of all humans through democratic principles.
Whereas all human life is precious, and the use of methods and strategies of that result in the deaths of civilians, no matter their faith or ethnicity, is a violation of international humanitarian law;
Whereas, as of March1, 2024, the response of the Israeli government to the October 2023 attack by Hamas - an attack which we strongly condemn - has claimed the lives of over 30,000 Palestinians, including Americans, and wounded tens of thousands more;
Whereas hundreds of thousands of lives are at imminent, ongoing risk due to famine, lack of water, and the continued deterioration of sanitary conditions if a cease-fire is not achieved;
Whereas the Palestinian diaspora is an important part of the cultural tapestry of the state of Michigan and the Michigan Democratic Party;
Whereas the above facts do not preclude or deny the rights of Israeli citizens to live peaceably with their neighbors; Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Manistee County Democratic Party--
(1) urges the Michigan Democratic Party to immediately call for a cease-fire to urgently end the current violence; and
(2) urges the Michigan Democratic Party to call for and facilitate the movement of humanitarian aid to residents of Gaza, including restoring funding to UNRWA; and
(3) urges the Michigan Democratic Party to call on the U.S. Department of State to make it their priority to continue the evacuation of U.S. citizens and their family members from Gaza and the West Bank and expand the extremely limited criteria allowing loved ones of U.S. citizens to be placed on the evacuation list; and
(4) urges the Michigan Democratic Party to call on the Biden administration to designate Palestinians for Temporary Protected Status and to provide benefits for Palestinian families like the Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees Program.
(5) urges the Michigan Democratic Party to call for a negotiated settlement leading to a sustainable two-state solution with the democratic, Jewish state of Israel and a demilitarized, democratic Palestinian state living side-by-side in peace and security
