CA Congressman Eric Swalwell in Castro Valley for first night of Chanukah

December 2nd Update: Decided to attend the first Chanukah event in Castro Valley as listed on the flyer at the top of the posting and was quite surprised to see Eric Swalwell there. Although a democrat, Swalwell has been to Israel and thus far has been a strong advocate for Israel and in general seems to have more moderate (but still left of center) leanings on a number of social issues. I got to talk to him for a couple of minutes and expressed my concerns about left wing anti-Semitism and that I really hope he stays the course if he were to make a 2020 presidential run.

There is an unfortunate perception that for one to be a supporter of Israel one must be a conservative. That's just plain false. There's nothing inconsistent with being socially liberal while supporting the single democracy in the Middle East that has a free press, free elections, free speech and comparable standards to any western democracy when it comes to the freedoms and rights of women and members of the LGBT community. Not to mention Israel is a global leader in green tech. The radical left of today are not liberals in any true sense of the word, they are a hate group plain and simple. To say that the radical left of today are liberals is like saying that most of today's republicans belong to the party of Lincoln. Please don't let us down congressman Swalwell...

Meanwhile I'm happy to see commerce between California and Israel is still moving along quite nicely. Happy Chanukah all you pathetic Jew hating BDSholes out there.
