What is so hard for Abe Miller to understand is that it’s not just radical leftist Jews who made the SF Jewish Festival what it is today, but rather the Arab oil money, coupled with PLO propoganda flacks trying to separate America Jewish support for Israel from the Jews in Israel.
This was all discussed and planned as far back as 2003 at t national ISM conference at Ohio State. The leadership of the ISM has been recorded and even wrote the Washington POst that the movement both supports and works closely with Hamas and the ISM’s co-founder Adam Shaprio
admitted at Ohio State that the PLO supervises ISM activities abroad and sometimes in the US with plainclothes agents. Radical communist Jews can make a lot of money by working as “leftst Jews” doing the bidding of the Arabs. As for Cindy Corrie, she knows her daughter helped remove the dead body of a terrorist from weapons tunnels two weeks before she was killed, yet continues to support her daughter’s anarchist support of terrorist murderers (and makes a living doing so). The film festival is starting to lose its fiscal sponosrs. That is one way to stop the phony “Jewish” shills who work for and with the Arabs and not even liberal Jews, but rather Jews only for purposes of deceiving people in America about a lack of Jewish support here for Israel. Visit StoptheISM.com and DAFKA.org to learn more about this tactic.

Every generation has them. Most recently they could be found not wanting to rock the boat in America during WWII, when more pressure on Roosevelt might have saved at least a tiny portion of those who perished in the camps.
What they always fail to understand is that they are, in the end, not exempt from the list, for, though they loath to admit it…….to our enemies (who plat them for patsies), they’re as Jewish as the “settlers” who dare to exist in Dar al Islam (you know, the ones in Tel Aviv, not just Hevron)

Interesting piece, Abe. Frankly, I am as bewildered as you are about how a Jew could embrace their enemy with both arms. But then I am still having problems with Americans voting in a racist, Marxist corrupt Chicago pol who comes unglued if his teleprompter takes a coffee break. Blindness of the human mind is something I really struggle with – by virtue of the fact that it simply goes against the most basic instinct humans have: survival.

But damned interesting piece. (BTW, Abe – I see you’ve got your own resident trolls. My, how the truth doth bring them roaring out of mom’s basement.)

I’m from Olympia, Rachel’s home town. After perusing the comments, I see that she is as annoying in death in cyberspace as she continues to be here in Oly. She gives our town a bad name, and I am ashamed for her parents. They are deeply disturbed and I suspect that all of their “keeping her dream alive” deep down, they mourn the loss of their daughter for dying so foolishly.

The dust-up between Melanie Phillips and Alan Dershowitz illustrates the nub of the matter splendidly. After smoking him out, the only excuse he had left was that he was “pro-choice”. If that’s the cardinal issue for American Jews, what more is there to say?

“Why the Jewish community would choose to subsidize propaganda directed at the destruction of Israel is the real issue. Why would they play fast and loose with lies designed to undermine the legitimacy of the Jewish state? Why would they welcome people whose political mission is the killing of Jews?”

I can’t answer those questions. I was hoping the writer would, although they are beyond the scope of this discussion.

One of the strategies to combat the irrational left is to always – and never allow yourself to deviate – argue outcomes.

To anti-gun Jews, my question is what would happened if 6 million Jews had each owned 3 assault rifles?

As for Israeli security, it might work to point out that after the USA left Viet Nam, the commies murdered 2 to 6 million of our allies. Then ask if a similar outcome is possible for Israel?

What I mean is that one of the best strategies is to push the argument to its final probable outcome, rather than dwell on the endless compromises that are going to bring it about.

It is true that neither Israel nor the Palestinians are free from shameful actions but these protests in a war zone are naively STUPID. The fates of people like Rachael Corrie and the currently comatose former Berkley tree-sitter Tristan Anderson are the direct result of this soft-as-a-grape Leftist “thought process”. Common sense has never been an affliction the Jewish Left has suffered from.
(See current San Francisco policies towards the homeless for further local examples of the beautiful results of the Progressive Left.)

These are the kind of people who will, as they are loaded into the boxcars once again, turn back and say, “Can I get the door for you?”

It should be noted that Cindy Sheehan has now come completely out of the closet as an Israel-basher. During the Gaza campaign, she denigrated Israel in the most pejorative way in a San Francisco Civic Center speech before the pro-Palestinian faithful…

“You mean “Saint Pancake,” don’t you?”

Her full, proper apellation would be: “Saint Pancake of the Most Holy Caterpiller.”
