Aipac protests in the Bay Area

As happens every year, the usual pack of brainwashed supporters of extremist Islamic misogyny and Jew-hate will be out protesting in front of the AIPAC dinners in the Bay Area. Such 'protests' are usually forums for mayhem and socially approved bigotry among a certain class.

This year's sponsors of hatred and opportunistic thuggism in front of hotels:
Progressive Democrats of America-East Bay• Middle East Study Group• Middle East Children’s Alliance • Bay Area Women in Black • Students for Justice in Palestine • 14 Friends of Palestine • Richmond Progressive Alliance • American Friends Service Comm. • Code Pink • Jewish Voice for Peace • ANSWER- SF Bay Area • Friends of Deir Ibzi’a.

Conspicuously absent from any mention is the International Solidarity Movement. That does NOT mean that they do not have any thoughts regarding the matter.


THE ISM?

A dynamite piece in the Contra Costa Times perfectly highlights how utterly despicable some of the people on the anti-Israel side really are.

Quote:
PAUL LARUDEE writes in the Times (Dec. 4) to lament that people in the East Bay will be breaking bread with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). What Larudee does not tell his readers is that he has repeatedly bragged about sharing the bed of a suicide bomber, who had committed mass murder, and that he is a prominent member of the anarchist International Solidarity Movement.

Quote:

This group routinely works with such terrorist groups as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Larudee justifies violence as long as the dead and injured are Jews. He is so obsessed with Israel that he helped organized the Gaza Flotilla that was seeded with Islamist fanatics who sought and achieved martyrdom under the ruse of bringing aid to the Hamas-dominated territory.

That aid was so vital to the people of Gaza that Hamas has refused to accept it. It now rots in warehouses in Israel and Egypt.

Undeterred Larudee's latest obsession is to fly an airplane into Gaza in an effort to precipitate a new propaganda event. Larudee is neither a man of peace nor a human-rights activist.

He is a propagandist obsessed with the destruction of Israel by whatever means necessary. In 2006 his terrorist-loving ISM members were photographed carrying AK-47 machine guns, while standing next to members of the terrorist Al Asqa Martyr's Brigade. As someone who has proudly broken bread with
AIPAC, permit me to note some factual errors in Larudee's piece. AIPAC has neither supported nor opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has no positions on those, despite what Larudee says.

In a week when WikiLeaks clearly shows us that it is the Arabs, not the Israelis, who were actively calling for the Obama administration "to remove the head of the snake," Larudee tells us that Israel and AIPAC are the ones promoting war with Iran.

AIPAC supports a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, with both states living in peace, harmony and mutual security. Larudee's anarchist ISM does not.

AIPAC and its predecessors have promoted a strong, mutually beneficial alliance between the United States and Israel. It was Israeli intelligence that gave the United States one of the greatest intelligence coups of the Cold War, the complete text of Khrushev's secret speech to the 20th Party Congress of the Soviet Union. It was Israel that turned over an intact Russian MiG to the United States and an entire working Soviet radar system. Israeli intelligence was the only Western intelligence service ever to pierce the workings of a Politburo and make them available to the United States.

This vital strategic relationship, made more important by contemporary events, has resulted in at least five "secret" American bases on Israeli soil. These bases are vital to American security in the war on terrorism.

Larudee's ISM promotes no one's interest, but its own. In November of 2005, the Arabs of Hebron asked their Orthodox Jewish neighbors to help them in getting rid of ISM activists, whose behavior had become patently offensive to the Arab community.

Larudee's ISM promotes propaganda events, fronts for terrorists, seeks Israel's destruction while he laments that our neighbors will break bread with an organization that promotes the mutual security interests of Israel and the United States, an organization that advocates a two-state solution based on peace and security.

Given a choice between breaking bread with AIPAC or sharing the bed of a suicide bomber, I believe most of us would choose to break bread with AIPAC.

"AIPAC supports a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, with both states living in peace, harmony and mutual security. Larudee's anarchist ISM does not."

In addition to the anti-Israel organizations listed above, there will be unaffiliated elements with their own agendas among the baying mob. In years past, threats were made towards attendees, and violent incidents occurred. We'll see if this year the Oakland and San Francisco Police Departments are prepared - they have at times been caught off guard by the venom and aggression displayed toward Jews, Israel, and America by the organized fronts and their allies.
I wish the supporters of Israel good luck, and fervently hope that they do not get accidentally caught up in any of the "direct action" planned for today and tomorrow.

Meat you shall HAVE!

And I am noticing that miniscule person is now talking of food! Though, distressingly, some gibberish about vegetarian. Which I do not eat. Except when I am at Pritijis fine place. Vinod bhai and lovely wife cook meat, as do also Maria and lovely hubby.
And going without saying entirely that I am meat cooking person. How else otherwise?

INDEED!

But all appearances show Steffy as having regrettable veg-heads in extended family. Her most recent posting about Shredded dried mushroom with pressed tofu!

Which it is that her aunty Ling was having prepared.

As she (the infectious Asian herself might say:

ICK POO!

While I am certain it must have been tasting absolutely spelendiferrous in all intelligible facets, do please forgive my trembling temerity in forcefull assertations that appetizzy description was not registered. No. Most not.
And she further clarifies: "Dinner was vegetarian, ‘cause auntie Ling really thinks it’s better for the soul to avoid meat."

Let the soul eat what the soul eats! The body requires meat!

Big bloody hunks of well-done goat or sorpotel. Little lamb chops with garlic and pepper. Chicken in an oily rich yellow sauce, or dense orange-hued all restaurant fashion makhanwalla. A rusty masaladar! Batak! With chilies!
Or secretly beef with apricots and lovely brown rice.
Fine motton ground for kabob. Or packed onto seekh for fire. What IS this vegetarian? Are we all pasty goralog?
I ask you only.
Beti, eat meat! You are small! It will make you cabaple of arm-wrestling future husband for contents of cash box!

I am sotted!

Oh it is lovely thus. Company had end of year/ white person hiloday at E and O trading company (Grant at Sutter, very nice). Met Bawiji wh0 sit behind cublicle wall, Matthew-Kate, Blonderspoon, other persons and Shanananon, plus several blennies, and Edwadji so wanting to be be blonde. As well as others. Yes, I am besotted. Stark raving raving drunk at present time. And it goooooooooood.

Well, maybe chicken sate not so good. Smelleing it is like lighter fluid. Oh well. I need to emphasize – chicken in skwerer with peanuht seauce LESS than impressive. That, perhaps, greatest disappointment of evening. Burning rubber.

Let me not talk about carpet. Ugly.

Evenso. Fine time it was had by all. Even very tall corporate type. Who with his lovely lady wife was in attendance to the festivities. All whaite person gora festivities very fancy oh my. I am thinking I should maybe retire to Mumbay next spring, these things are really ecxtnding me too much.

Why it is that I am fascinated by panties and cricket. If I were Jeddi Knight I could answer. But I am merely drunken purely hypothetical person, so no answer really suffice. Alas.

Spellcheck not working tonight. Again alas. Hello small Cantonese females. Lovely.
Nuke Pakistan. Cricket. Eat. That is what I am saying only. Whiskey and water. Johnny Walker Red. Well whiskey well. And eaties.
