Note: While I'm baffled at the holiday season being turned into a hate-Israel event (this isn't Czarist Russia, fercrepes'sakes, and this isn't the nineteenth century), I am overjoyed that the sonei-Yisroel are giving me this splendid opportunity to see some of my favourite people for Christmas. And counter-demonstrating an anti-Israel march is in many ways like playing chess. How utterly perfect for NITTEL! Will I be there? You betcha! I hope you will be there too.
ACTION ALERT – FORWARD WIDELY
Counter Anti-Israel March through Union Square
Sunday December 24th 4:15-6PM
Meet at Geary and Powel, downtown San Francisco.
BACKGROUND
Once again, a coalition of anti-Israel groups will use the Christmas holiday to demonize Israel. They will march through Union Square insisting that there will not be peace in Bethlehem so long as Israel has control over the West Bank. Of course, they will avoid any mention of the use of churches, including the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, as shields for terror against Israel. They will avoid any mention of the forcing of Christian merchants out of Manger Square in Bethlehem. 2006 was a particularly hard year for Palestinian Christians as anger over the Danish cartoons and the Pope’s comments inspired Islamist rioting. In both instances, the rioting and church arsons were most severe in the Palestinian Territories.
They will not mention that the oppression of the Palestinian Christians is perpetrated not by Israel, but by thugs, militias, and Islamists within the
Territories and permitted and facilitated by the Palestinian Authority. In the meantime, Israel is trying to facilitate the movement of Christians to Bethlehem for Christmas.
