As an indication of the kind of people we are dealing with in the Bay Area - the people who have friends on the SF Board of Supervisors and among a number of the more influential political players in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco - it may help to review the slogans which were on handmade signs at the anti-Israel demonstration organized by International ANSWER this past Saturday.
[Other sponsors of the 01/10/2009 demonstration: Free Palestine Alliance, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, National Council of Arab Americans and Al-Awda-International Palestine Right to Return Coalition. The demonstration also had the support of Bay Area Women in Black (BAWIB) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).]

INTERNATIONAL ANSWER'S ENDORSEMENT
Despite having more security monitors in attendance than ever before (nearly one out of eight demonstrators wore the yellow vest assigned to monitors by International ANSWER), these signs were not removed.
Ergo, by the standards of International ANSWER, the sentiments expressed were both acceptable and justified.
In both intent and effect, International ANSWER endorses all these slogans, as do the other organizations which sponsored the demonstration, and the individual participants.
CINDY SHEEHAN
Also endorsing the anti-Semitism, I should add, was Cindy Sheehan, one of the fiery anti-Israel speakers trotted out by ANSWER.
Certainly so 'strong-minded' a woman as ms. Sheehan would have had the gumption to insist that the message of the demonstration NOT be one of hatred, bigotry, and blatant anti-Semitism.......
Unless she supported precisely that.

"Puppies!" ?
Really?
I always thought of puppies as the problem, not the solution.
But then, with such a cryptic sign, perhaps that is what they meant.
I had a hard time believing my eyes too. But then, after considerable thought, I realized that puppies are the absolute epitome of anti-Semitism. It's a Zen thing.
