Despite \u200bDeWitt&#8217;s efforts to \u2062speak of the atrocities of the Holocaust and Hamas violence towards\u2062 Israelis, she was \u200binterrupted and heckled.

I urge the Berkeley City Council to pass the Holocaust Remembrance Day proclamation because we are currently witnessing a horrendous surge in anti-Semitism. Jews are now under existential threat; the invasion by Hamas, which broke a ceasefire \u2013\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was interrupted by demonstrators yelling, \u201cTime! Time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The moderator interceded as Dewitt stepped away from the microphone, \u201cOkay, Ma\u2019am. Ms. Dewitt, ladies and gentlemen, if you can, please let me facilitate the meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Permitted to continue, DeWitt stated, \u201c \u2014 led to the murder of 1,200 Israelis, and the brutal torture and rape of women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the fact that Hamas\u2019 rape and torture of women during the October 7 massacre has been well-documented, demonstrators screamed, \u201cLies! Lies! Lies!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the meeting, the demonstrators referred to \u201cZionist pigs,\u201d chanted \u201cFrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,\u201d called the council \u201ccowards\u201d and \u201ctraitors,\u201d \u201cspies for Israel,\u201d \u201cRacist Zionists who are upholding violence, apartheid, occupation,\u201d told someone, \u201cGet the f*** out of here, you Zionist pig,\u201d and were warned by the moderator, \u201cDo not circle other speakers. Back away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">One demonstrator, face covered by a mask, declared, \u201cThis is a Zionist stronghold.
