Bexar County commissioner Grant Moody shared a powerful statement on the war in Israel during Tuesday's commissioners' court meeting.
“It’s something that people need to know about,” said Precinct 3 Commissioner Grant Moody. “They need to recognize what’s going on, the atrocities that were committed.”“Let me be very clear -- the Palestinian civilian casualties over the coming months is on the hands of Hamas,” he said.“Safety has a cost,” he said. “And, you know, that’s one of the reasons why we need to be there for our allies when they need us most.”“I think we need to be right there, shoulder to shoulder with them,” he said.
Dr. Ian Smith, the program director for International Relations and visiting professor at St. Mary’s University, said it’s unclear right now if any refugees will come to the U.S. or Texas. “I would suspect if anywhere in the U.S. ends up seeing refugees being brought in, we will be pretty high on the list, given our experience and our capabilities here,” he said of San Antonio.“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” he said. “And that’s exactly what we’re seeing, you know, in Israel today.”Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023. This isn’t her first time in the KSAT newsroom– the San Antonio native spent the summer of 2017 as an intern.
