Three people were assaulted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators at a protest in front of the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco yesterday evening. Two of the victims were wearing kippot.
It is quite likely that they were targeted BECAUSE they were wearing kippot.
All three were in their fifties or sixties, whereas their attackers were fit and young (and in one case, hulking).
Hate crime is seldom bold. But always transparent.
The event was facilitated by International ANSWER, which has expended considerable effort infiltrating many organizations over the past several years - not only the pro-Palestinian PC brigade and anti-Semitic fringe elements in Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco, but also the peace movements, radical anti-war activist circles, unions, dockworkers, farmworkers, and hotelworkers.
Their efforts have paid off, and they have friends among the top levels of San Francisco's city government.
Members of Code Pink and the Arab Resource Organizing Center were also there - the first an alleged peace group, the second generously funded by the Tides Center, "encouraged" by the National Lawyers Guild, and heavily involved in anti-Israel agitation at Bay Area universities.
"Israel out of the Middle-East"
---Charming slogan heard at the end of the rally.
Several voices then added "Israel out of the world".
Faculty members from SF State U and UC Berkeley were also present at the hate-fest, enthusiastically cheering the prospect of Israel's destruction.

As usual, do not leave demonstrations by yourself.
Dick Becker and Forrest Schmidt will not admit ANYresponsibility for riling the mob up, and the murderous rage that results is purely the responsibility of the Jew-haters and Palestinian activists themselves.
The only person who is guaranteed not to become violent is Rusty, whose life and beatific smile are a testament to the efficacy of certain substances and a carryover from the hippie area.
Terry, on the other hand, is quite certifiable.

Thank you.
Jess Ghannam (University of California, San Francisco )and Andrew Paul Gutierrez (University of California, Berkeley) are both signatories to the US Campaign for an Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, and have spent much time making the campuses of their universities as inhospitable to Jews as possible. Both where at that rally, both expressed their hate for Israel on the street, and both are clearly in cahoots with Forrest Schmidt and Dick Becker, whose vile hategroup has had activists on campus and in the faculty and administration of both institutions for several years.
A reasonably full list of hatemongers can be found here: http://usacbi.wordpress.com/endorsers/
These people represent the most vile and despicable form of anti-Semitism: Politically correct pseudo-intellectuals. The authorities in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area know that catering to the comfortable bourgeois anti-Semitism of the middle-classes pays off in the end; radical support at the voting booth, continued support for a political career.
Even the police recognize this. They too are part of the petite bourgeois machine, they too wish to be accepted. Or at least, not hindered in their careers.
There is another professor at SF State that may pose a concern. Her name is Dr. Wendell Hanna. I saw a picture of her at an anti-war rally on her Facebook page taken a few years back (we're not friends but her page was open for all to see). The anti-war movement in San Francisco is often connected to anti-Semisitm and to those who wish to destroy Israel. Wendell may have simply been there to protest the Iraq War, but knowing her I would be suspicious.
