I'm not a big fan of Netanyahu these days nor do I much care for Israel's current government. But I'm 100% behind whatever retribution they are about to unleash on the iranian regime backed jihadi nazis in gaza. Dear Israel, please finish the job this time!

October 9th Update: Talk about an outstanding photo from Berkeley today! Not only is the messaging powerful but it's a great work of art from just a strictly photography stand point to. This reminds me of a demonstration for ISRAEL we did on that bridge a couple years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LyLRtEn_g

 October 10th Update: More rallies for Israel this week and it's only Tuesday. They had one at the Civic Center in San Francisco on  Monday but so far I'm having trouble learning much about how that went. But today we had some great turn outs at cal berkeley of all places and in Walnut Creek. I think that young lady at the cal berkeley rally may win the sign of the year award with that one. Check out the youtube link below to see how it went in Walnut Creek.

October 15th Update: Today we had a rally in San Francisco that was down right exhilarating. Despite the somber nature of the occasion it felt more like a party then a political demonstration. So what were we up to? well here ya go . . .

October 22nd Update: Downtown San Jose California today was the site of BRING THEM HOME rally for Israel. Typically for these rallies I wear an Israel or IDF themed shirt but today was something of a special occasion considering the location so I went with my blue Earthquakes t-shirt. Anyways, check it out . . .

NEVER AGAIN

Yeah sure whatever good for you pal. Welcome to San Francisco California everybody.

But on the flip side, you have impressive public displays like this to.

Back in May of 2021 during the last war with gaza (code named Guardian of The Walls) I discovered a bunch of anti-Israel propaganda on a pedestrian freeway overpass in Castro Valley one day. Needless to say I felt a certain way about that and promptly took matters into my own hands. Fortunately after I took the dumpster photo I decided to salvage the palestinian flag prop for a special occasion.

Well, today was that special occasion. palestinians are currently celebrating the terror attack and murder of 7 Jews in Jerusalem which happens to fall on the heels of Holocaust Remembrance Day. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Not always the case actually because this one is just saying fuck your celebrations, fuck any more talk about a 2 state solution and that I'm looking forward to Israel's response to this latest round of palestinian terror. As far as I'm concerned what comes next isn't just about justice or deterrence, It's gonna be a reckoning. That's all less then a thousand words.
