SF Police allow a Pro Israeli group to illegally disrupt a legal Pro Palestinian rally

Except for the Millions of Jews that were killed by the Nazis; what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is almost exactly like what the Nazis did to the Jews.

Human Rights Violations are Human Rights Violations, regardless of who the victim is.

And I am Jewish.

I am Jewish, and I have to ask;

Are Israeli racists?

This pathetic small group of wealthy fascists waving the 2 Nazi flags, the American and Israeli flags, are always protected by the capitalist police. In San Francisco, that class is represented by the Democratic Party machine. FOR 66 YEARS, the Democratic and Republican parties have been proud supporters of the American military base in the Middle East that exists to protect US oil profits, namely Israel, AT ALL LEVELS OF OFFICE. IF YOU ARE SURPRISED, GOOD MORNING! This has been going on for 66 YEARS. I was surprised to meet people at these pro-Palestinian demonstrations who claim to support Palestine and who vote Democrat. Just what do you think you were getting from the pro-Israel Democrats? They are the same as the pro-Israel Republicans and both Democrats and Republicans are ALL PRO-ISRAEL. Both capitalist parties proudly announced they HAVE NO DIFFERENCE IN FOREIGN POLICY. The horrors we are witnessing being perpetrated with $6 billion of our tax dollars a year to Israel against the Palestinians are the same horrors Nazi USA and its puppet, Nazi Israel have been perpetrating for 66 YEARS. These American Zionists, all dressed like the wealth bourgeois Babbitts that they are, are protecting their investments, their profits, when they promote Israel. Kindly change your voter registration to the only 2 pro-Palestinian parties on the California ballot, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party. You can go online to do so at:

July 2014: Once again, death and destruction with U.S.-provided arms and money.
Posted on July 22, 2014 by the Webmaster

Statement of Peace and Freedom Party State Chair Kevin Akin, 22 July 2014.

The following statement was adopted by the State Central Committee of the California Peace and Freedom Party at its meeting on November 18, 2012.

The California Peace and Freedom Party condemns the recent attacks on the people of the Gaza Strip, the most aggressive since the massacres of 2008. We join the many voices calling for an end to sending arms to Israel. The United States is responsible for these and other violations of U.S. and international law performed with regularity by the Israeli military. As long as the United States enables the Israeli government by providing support such as money, weapons, and diplomatic cover, the violence will continue. As Americans we must once more say "Not in our name."
It is now July 2014, almost two years later. Once again, using as a pretext the murders of three teenagers whose killers the Israeli authorities apparently have no intention of catching, the Netanyahu government has launched a murderous series of attacks on Palestinians. As expected, the rockets in Gaza have been firing at Israel in response, and have killed one Israeli, while under the Netanyahu government's military attacks hundreds of Palestinians have been killed: children, women, old men, whole families, and even a few fighters. And as expected, while murmuring quiet words about fairness and peace, the United States government has fully backed Netanyahu and his even more fanatical allies like the racist Foreign Minister Liberman.

This is a shame, it is a crime, it is a disgrace. It displays the ideological bankruptcy of the Democratic Party, willing to mouth platitudes about human rights so long as imperial adventures are not reined in. While the collective punishment of the Palestinians continues, so does the collective punishment of the Israeli people under the reactionary Netanyahu regime, that deprives everyone in Israel of important rights, lowers living standards, and whips up wars to mobilize support because none of their policies have earned them the support of the people. Sad to say, the prominent Democrats who appear ready to seek their party's presidential nomination in 2016 appear ready to outdo Obama in support for Netanyahu - and that is hard to do. Faced with an opportunity to pursue progressive policies that could earn them public support, the Democrats are determined to pull their usual election stunt of trying to out-hawk the Republicans, and they appear ready to throw away any chance at keeping the Republicans from full control of Congress in the 2014 elections. With "friends" like this, workers don't need enemies. In fact, as everyone active in politics knows, both the Democrats and Republicans are controlled by their very wealthy bankrollers. The only way working people can win any power is to reject both big-money parties, and organize and support an independent Left party of their own.

The rule of the rich is bad for Americans, for Israelis and Palestinians, for everyone in this world. We need to work for working-class power, for peace, for full employment, for prosperity, against racism and nationalist division, and to end forever the dictatorship of big money over the people. Imperial brutality will end when we the people end it. We must do it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Green Party of the United States is calling for an immediate ceasefire in the current exchange of missiles between Israeli and Palestinian forces, negotiation for a just and peaceful resolution to the conflict, an end to Israel's occupation of Palestinian Territories and human rights violations, repeal of apartheid policies in Israel, and establishment of one democratic state for all in Israel-Palestine.

The Green Party opposes and condemns all violence against unarmed civilians and deplores the murder of young people on both sides that ignited the current face-off. Greens said that Israel must be held accountable for mounting Palestinian casualties in the assault on Gaza, with over 200 deaths, mostly civilians, caused by airstrikes in densely populated areas (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israelgaza-conflict-80-per-cent-of-palestinians-killed-by-israeli-strikes-are-civilians-un-report-says-9606397.html). Hamas must be held accountable for indiscriminate rocket attacks, which have killed one Israeli during the escalating crisis.

"We are appalled that the Obama Administration endorsed Operation Protective Edge. The White House must lead the rest of the world in bringing international pressure for a ceasefire, aid for civilian populations in the line of fire, observance of international law, and a just peace in the region with an end to Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid policies within the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel," said Dr. Justine McCabe, Connecticut Green and member of the Green Party's International Committee (http://www.gp.org/committees/intl).

Greens are urging support for U.S., Israeli, and Palestinian peace groups that are protesting the air assault and possible ground invasion and demanding a return to the November 2012 ceasefire agreement and an end to the occupation and seven-year blockade of Gaza.

"Assertions about Israel's right to defend itself must be placed in the context of Israel's high-tech military arsenal; the occupation of Palestinian Territories; mass displacement of Palestinians, including home demolitions and settlements; detentions and brutality by the IDF, often directed at children; denial of access to resources; and continuing denial of basic human rights and equality. There is no 'right' to occupy, violate human rights, or inflict collective punishment on civilians. Safety is only possible for Israelis and Palestinians when Israel ends these injustices and when both sides lay down arms and sit down to negotiate a solution," said Muhammed Malik, former Co-Chair of the Miami-Dade Green Party and member of the International Committee.

Mr. Malik recently helped organize a Palestine solidarity rally and a national Muslim-American boycott of the White House's annual Ramadan Iftar (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/14/white-house-muslims_n_5585851.html) to protest U.S. complicity in Israeli violations and other human rights offenses. The latter effort gained the support of more than 100 prominent Muslim-American activists, leaders, and professors and prompted the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, the nation's largest Arab-American civil rights group, to heed the call and join the boycott. (See http://fallingwallsinitiative.wordpress.com/2014/07/14/solidarity-with-guantanamo-bay-palestine-an-open-letter-calling-on-the-boycott-of-the-white-house-iftar)

In an effort to bring about real peace, justice, and security for all Israelis and Palestinians, the Green Party of the United States has endorsed the Palestinian Civil Society call for boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel as nonviolent measures to be maintained until Israel ends the occupation and colonization of Arab lands and dismantles the separation wall, recognizes the fundamental rights of Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality, and promotes the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in U.N. Resolution 194 (http://unispal.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0/C758572B78D1CD0085256BCF0077E51A).

Greens noted that Israel is a powerful nation whose military is funded generously with U.S. tax dollars. While Greens called the targeting of civilian populations by either side abhorrent, Palestinians have suffered far greater loss of life, as well as daily violence and humiliation under a brutal occupation. The Palestinian death toll in the 2008-2009 siege of Gaza was about 1,400, mostly civilians, while the Israeli death toll was under 20, mostly soldiers.

The Green Party supports suspension of U.S. military and foreign aid to Israel and a U.S. foreign policy that promotes the creation of one secular democratic state for Palestinians and Israelis on the land between the Mediterranean Sea and River Jordan as the national home of both peoples with Jerusalem as its capital. The party encourages a new U.S. diplomatic initiative to begin the process of negotiation, laying the groundwork for such a single-state constitution.

Greens pointed to recent comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an indication that Israel now rejects the "two-state solution" and establishment of a separate, independent Palestinian state: "There cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan." (http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.605514)

In 2009, former U.S. Representative and 2008 Green presidential nominee Cynthia McKinney was detained in Israel for participating in the Free Gaza Movement's delivery of humanitarian aid in the wake of Israel's military assault on the Gaza Strip.

**************************************************************************
It is worth noting these Zionist fascist liars did not show up on July 20, 2014 when we had 6,000 people filling the plaza. Clearly, we need more people, although we are doing extraordinarily well historically speaking. Having Pro-Palestinian rallies and marches were unheard of and not feasible before 2000 or so. That is because (1) we now have a large Arab-American and Moslem community here and across the US, and (2) it is 69 years since the Holocaust, more than 2 generations. In the US, the white, European median age is 42 and rising; in the Jewish community, it is 47 and rising. This is in contrast to all immigrant communities, including the Arab-American and Moslem communities. So now, finally, we can have decent pro-Palestinian rallies and marches. The Pew Center has a poll that says 51% of Americans claim to support Israel. THAT IS A TREMENDOUS DECLINE! It was not long ago when being OPENLY anti-Israel was unthinkable. As always, hope is with the young, but let's speed it up because those of us who are not young want to see the end of this US military base called Israel, replaced with a secular state that receives no US military aid. At these demonstrations, we need photos of the dead and injured Palestinian children on posters with the words NO US AID TO ISRAEL!

The Israeli side was shut down, once Jess and Dick produced their permit
