Israel is every where in The Bay

One would think a bus stop advertisement like this would only be seen in a city in Israel like Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. But not so, I took this photo in San Jose of all places. The most peculiar thing about this is that it's all completely in Hebrew, not a single word in English.

And meanwhile back in The East Bay ZIM keeps on trucking.


July 25th Update

California Congressman for the 15th District and all around cool guy

And as always, ZIM keeps on truckin while BDS keeps on failing around The Bay Area.

Meanwhile in Southern California, bravo to all the people who came out to protest against the anti-semitic she-wolf ilan omar who gave a speech for some stupid event hosted by the muslim brotherhood front commonly known as cair. . .

Amen to that!

Update April 9th: Well look what just showed up in the mail today. I'd be more happy about this if the democratic field wasn't so damn crowded already but that won't stop me from going to Dublin this Sunday afternoon.

The Castro Valley Forum newspaper and Congressman Eric Swalwell

Castro Valley Forum December 5 issue 49

Castro Valley Forum December 12 issue 50

In a totally unrelated matter I happened to come across this awesome Back to The Future themed chalk board art on this sandwich sign in front of the 80s video game arcade High Scores in downtown Hayward (just a few minutes from Castro Valley). $6 to go back in time for an hour, that's a lot cheaper then trying to turn a DeLorean into a time machine.

December 22 Update: Happy Holidays for commerce between Israel and California. I've seen ZIM cargo containers several times this week in The East Bay. This one was on highway 238 going through Castro Valley just yesterday.

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.
