A California city council meeting calling for a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war devolved into heinous antisemitic chaos after raging pro-Hamas protesters packed the chamber to defend the terrorist group and claim Israel “killed its own people” during the Oct. 7 massacre.

The Oakland City Council, which has no sway over international politics, unanimously passed a watered-down resolution urging for peace in Gaza on Monday.

The resolution, however, failed to include Jewish councilman Dan Kalb’s amendment, spotlighting Hamas’ role in the slaughter of an estimated 1,200 people across southern Israel.

Still, the proposal was met by rambunctious boos from the raving anti-Israel demonstrators, who condemned the language as “anti-Arab” — with some going as far as to spread conspiracy theories that the terrorist attack was “fabricated” and that the Israel Defense Forces had slaughtered Jews to justify an invasion of Gaza.

“There have not been beheading of babies and rapings. Israel murdered their own people on Oct. 7,” one woman told the city council.

Another woman, who was eventually cut off from speaking, claimed: “The notion that this was a massacre of Jews is a fabricated narrative. Many of those killed on Oct. 7, including children, were killed by the IDF.”

A male speaker also blasted Kalb’s proposed amendment, claiming it was a double standard to blame Hamas for the massacre given the decades of violence that has come to define Israel-Palestinian relations in the Middle East.

“To hear them complain about Hamas violence is like listening to a wife-beater complain when his wife finally stands up and fights back,” the man said.

Another speaker reiterated claims that labeling Hamas a terror group, which the US does, was “racist” and played into “genocidal propaganda.”

“Hamas is a resistance organization that is fighting for the liberation of Palestinian people and their land,” one resident crowed, while another argued that “to condemn Hamas is very anti-Arab racist.”

A pro-Hamas protestor  even called Kalb and any supporters of his proposed amendment “old white supremacists.”

Tye Gregory – the CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council, a San Francisco-based Jewish-led organization – described the environment that night as “one of the most antisemitic rooms” he’s ever been in.

Kalb did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

During the meeting, Kalb said he believed it was important for the council to address the Oct. 7 attack, which ignited the Israel-Hamas war, the local Oaklandside reports.

“Downplaying, or worse yet, rationalizing the Oct. 7 mass murder by Hamas as legitimate resistance is sad, ridiculous, and antithetical to promoting peace,” Kalb said.

The Oakland resolution ultimately passed 8-2 without any charged language against Hamas or Israel, with council member Caroll Fife noting that it went through four drafts to “de-politicize” it.

Instead, the measure called for Congress to support a permanent cease-fire in Gaza and ensure the release of all hostages held by Hamas. It also urged more humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave.

Meanwhile,  a video compilation of the anti-Israel and Hamas-defending comments quickly went viral.

“Hamas is a terrorist organization. They must be called out for what they are: evil,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote on X in response to footage of the debacle.

“When a council member asked to add language condemning Hamas, a stream of public comment praising & supporting Hamas ensued. The council then rejected the request to condemn Hamas,” Bay Area state Sen. Scott Wiener, another Democrat, wrote on X. “Just awful.”

Israel-Hamas war: How we got here

2005: Israel unilaterally withdraws from the Gaza Strip more than three decades after winning the territory from Egypt in the Six-Day War.

2006: Terrorist group Hamas wins a Palestinian legislative election.

2007: Hamas seizes control of Gaza in a civil war.

2008: Israel launches military offensive against Gaza after Palestinian terrorists fired rockets into the town of Sderot.

2023: Hamas launches the biggest attack on Israel in 50 years, in an early-morning ambush Oct. 7, firing thousands of rockets and sending dozens of militants into Israeli towns.

Terrorists killed more than 1,200 Israelis, wounded more than 4,200, and took at least 200 hostage.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to announce, “We are at war,” and vowed Hamas would pay “a price it has never known.”

The Gaza Health Ministry — which is controlled by Hamas — reported at least 3,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,500 injured since the war began.

Oakland is the latest American municipality to vote on such a resolution, joining the likes of Detroit, Atlanta, and Providence. Many of the cities to pass such resolutions have large Arab communities.

Despite negotiators’ claims that both sides appear willing to extend the cease-fire for another two days, no agreement had been reached as of Wednesday evening.

Political leaders on both sides of the aisle have been reckoning with a surge in antisemitism across the US.

On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) delivered an impassioned floor speech about the rise of Jew-hatred — in which he specifically called out factions of the progressive movement for antisemitic “dogwhistles.”

“Can you understand why the Jewish people isolated when we hear some praise Hamas and chant its vicious slogan? Can you blame us for feeling vulnerable, over 80 years after Hitler wiped out half the
Jewish population across the world?” he asked at one point, referring to the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

The Senate Democratic leader went on to say that he was disturbed by descriptions of Hamas’ actions as part of a “decolonization” movement — arguing that Jews did not colonize present-day Israel and that a large number of Israelis are or descend from the roughly 600,000 Mizrahi Jews “forcibly evicted” from Arab countries following the state’s creation in 1948.

“Jewish Americans were alarmed to see some of our fellow citizens characterize a brutal terrorist attack as justified because of the actions of the Israeli government — a vicious, blood-curdling, premeditated massacre of innocent women, men, children, the elderly,” Schumer said.

“Even worse, in some cases, people even celebrated what happened, describing it as the deserved fate of ‘colonizers’ and calling for ‘glory to the martyrs‘ who carried out these heinous attacks. That happened here in America.”
