Protesters critical of Israel ramp things up locally

should you sound like David Duke, Paul Larudee and Alison Wier?

Why indeed should we have anti-Semites like you waste space on a Jewish on line paper where 99% of the readers are supportive of the only democracy in the Middle East? Of course, you may be sufficiently sexist to support the woman and gay hating Palestinians as well as their regular suppression of all dissenters.

And if you do find merit in the Palestinians, Mr. theother, it is reasonable to also conclude that you also support the covenants of both Ham-Ass and Fat-ah which call for the genocide of Jews.

So Mr. anal passage theother, get the hell off of this site and crawl back to the neo-Nazi rock where you were incubated. And keep warm with your JVP and ISM buddies…

It’s no surprise to see Becky O’Malley printing JVP press releases in what is left of her newspaper, the Berkeley Daily Planet. ‘Course, O’Malley never did have a clue on what makes for acceptable journalistic practices and she continues to demonstrate her ignorance on her Internet blog.

For the anti-Semitic O’Malley, who printed an op-ed by an Iranian saying that Jews deserved everything they have suffered throughout history, including the Holocaust, as well as a letter maintaining that Zionists collaborated with the Nazis in order to justifiy sending Jews to then British Palestine (something her then chief reporter, Richard Brenneman repeated in his blog) to make a comment defining who is or is not a “real friend of Israel” is like having David Duke pronounce a notion that neo-Nazis are the true friends of African Americans.

We have plenty—too many—Jew haters writing on the site of this Jewish publication. Ms. O’Malley has continued her delegitimization of Israel in her pathetic blog, where pieces, editorials and op-eds rapping the Jewish State continue to make up an astounding portion of the Daily Planet (we call it the Daily Palestinian), showing definitively for those who didn’t see the Daily Planet’s print version that O’Malley simply can’t control her loathing of Jews in general and Israel in particular.

I was happy to play a role in showing Daily Planet advertisers Ms. O’Malley’s bigotry. Of course, all I had to do was show Berkeley businesses what O’Malley printed and they ceased advertising, thus torpedoing this anti-Semitic publication.

O’Malley’s little Daily Planet blog is now read largely by the already Jew-loathing converted; kind of an Internet outlet for Becky’s KPFA cretinous comrades. That she should join the lowlifes who come on to this site to rap Israel is downright disgusting…

This rather biased article refers to Sabeel as “a non-Jewish group in Israel that claims ‘solidarity with the Palestinian people.‘”

Perhaps accurate as far as it goes, after all, most groups are indeed “non-Jewish.” This one however happens to be a Christian group subscribing to Liberation Theology for Palestinians.

“Our faith teaches that following in the footsteps of Christ means standing for the oppressed, working for justice, and seeking peace-building opportunities, and it challenges us to empower local Christians.”

Perhaps, the rest of the press should start referring to Jews as “non-Christians.”

When it comes to anything having to do with America or Israel you can bet that JVP and o’malley’s electronic pulp known as the berkeley daily planet will be quick to condemn. But when it comes to anything else the silence is deafening. What has JVP or o’malley ever said about Darfur, gang raped women in saudi arabia sentenced to be publicly flogged, gays and teens being hung in iran, N.Korean sinking of S. Korean ship with all hands aboard and recently having shelled a S.Korean island killing 4 civilians, the terror attacks in Mumbai, or what about the American hikers still imprisoned in iran? And just for the record those hikers are anti-Israel far leftists themselves. Not that that is helping their case with the iranians or anything. When have you ever heard JVP or o’malley condemn hamas, the taliban or the Iranian regime’s brutality toward it’s own people? As I said before, the silence is deafening and the hypocrisy is self evident. The bottom line here is that JVP and o’malley are just like the rest of the far left lunatic fringe who masquerade as humanitarians that care nothing more then to put America and Israel into a bad light. Their record of turning a blind eye to terrorism and tyrants while consistent condemnation toward Israel and the U.S. speaks for it’s self. It’s as simple as that.

Jordan is 75% Palestine. Israel shouldn’t give up anything. When Britain carved up Palestine after WWI, a new country of Jordan was the big winner with 75% of the lands. Modern-day Israel, even with the liberated East Bank included, is less than 25% of Palestine. If you add Gaza into the mix, the Muslims have 76% of Palestine. Yet out of fairness, all the leftists, including a lot of Israelis, are agitating for Israel to give up land for a third Islamic State in Palestine. Makes no sense for Israel to have to give up more of Palestine to the Muslims; when the Muslims already have 76%.

“Jewish Voice for Peace” is none of the three things in their name! Usually,their presence is used to serve to deflect highly accurate charges of Anti-Semitism by avowed haters of Israel. Usually, when I have spoken to JVP,sometimes they are of Jewish ancestry, sometimes not, but, even those with Jewish ancestry typically aren’t connected to the Jewish community and have no knowledge of the situation or Jewish history, religion, languages or culture. It seems that these type of folks only pull their Judaism out of the closet when they are bashing Israel, simply to make it more stinging, although in the rest of their lives, they are assimilated and identify as “progressive” rather than as “Jews.” The average JVP’er is more likely to be found in a trendy cafe then in a synagogue. When one of them asked why everyone calls them “self hating Jews”, I explained that was because “Oreo cookie” and “Uncle Tom” were already being used. It seems that the JVP isn’t “pro-peace” but just “anti-Israel”.

They changed the title of the article, which was originally about “anti-Israel” protests and now is the more accurate “Protesters critical of Israel”. There is hope yet. J Weekly,thank you for taking this step

Looks like somebody pulled rank on Amanda at the J and decided to do some appeasement to the far left like this theother idiot. The first title was obviously an inconvenient truth that didn’t fit klein’s yellow journalism style. How pathetic!

When they are down to simple denial of familiar realities, we realize how desperate and empty the anti-Israel movement has become.  One can sympathize.  It must be frustrating to be always in the wrong.

I think this article downplays the seriousness of the fact that an official of the Jewish Community Relations Council is labeling a group (Sabeel) as “overtly anti-Semitic”.  Maybe that accusation is true, but it doesn’t show itself with the evidence given here.  The word “overt”, you know, means open and not hidden.  Even if we accept that it’s “clearly anti-Semitic” to use the phraseology “Palestine, Israel and the destructive role of the worldwide Zionist cabal”, the fact that one Sabeel member included those words in an e-mail to other Sabeel members is a pretty flimsy reason to conclude, as Yitzhak Santis does, that Sabeel is “an overtly anti-Semitic organization.”

I hear that Santis is moving to Israel.  I hope he can spare some time to visit East Jerusalem to share his concerns with Sabeel’s founder, Naim Ateek, who has himself been in Israel longer than the state of Israel has been in Israel.

The tagline “End U.S. Aid to Israel” is per se antisemitic - and can’t possibly be understood in any other light. What they really mean is “end the state of Israel,” so why don’t they just come out and say it? Note how they do NOT say “End U.S. Aid to the Palestinian Authority,” or “End U.S. Aid to Saudi Arabia” or “End U.S. Aid to Egypt” or “divest from China” or “divest from Russia” or “divest from Burma,” all of which have far more atrocious human rights records than Israel, even by the standards of Human Rights Watch, hardly in the pro-Israel camp. The so-called “peace and justice” movement believes that all peoples have a right to self-determination… oh yeah, except of course the Jews. How monstrously hypocritical. Good for TIAA-CREF for standing up to these people. Their message is nothing more than hatred, with a smile.
