Another year of Jewish and Hindu solidarity for the India Independence Day celebration in Fremont CA

Today was another much needed uplifting experience on a beautiful day in Fremont California. And I'm happy to say at least twice as many members of the Jewish community came out this year to stand with our Hindu brothers and sisters for the annual India Independence Day parade and festival.

As you can see from this pick up truck display set up we were once again made to feel very welcomed this year in downtown Fremont.

We are two people from ancient civilizations who have managed to find a near perfect balance between honoring our ancestors through tradition and rituals while living as successful modern peoples. We both value education, emerging technologies and democratic norms. We also value the importance of coexistence when it comes to sharing this world with those who may not worship in the same way that we do. Unfortunately, we also share some of the same enemies. Enemies who certainly do not share our live and let live view of the world. Please joins us next year!

 August 22nd Update: And today, one week later was another wonderful day of solidarity at Memorial Park in the South Bay city of Cupertino. It was a family friendly event with various representation of the Jewish, Hindu, Taiwanese, Azerbijan and Persian communities. Genuine multiculturalism as it were. 

 August 29 Update: Rest in peace Ilan Weiss

 

September 14th Update: Today in Palo Alto, Bay Area Israel supporters decided to crash a hamas love fest at the Town & Country shopping center near Stanford University. I think....the lady at the bottom right from the pro hamas crowd was basically just there to give the men on our side two good reasons why we should stop supporting Israel and globalize the enchilada.

Yellow and Orange

I learned about this yellow ribbon mural in Palo Alto late last year in a Jweekly magazine article and today I'm really happy I finally got around to checking it out. I sure hope that in the coming days that I'll have an opportunity on this posting to welcome home and sadly pay my respects to at least some, if not all of the remaining 59 hostages still in the hamas Hell that is gaza.

Also, very very close to the yellow ribbon mural is business that proudly very open about it's support for a robust and healthy continued relationship between Israel and America.

April 9th Update: The BDSholes have been on the warpath against Trader Joes carrying the made in Israel Aviv Matzos for Passover this year. So with that I want to thank my local Trader Joes for carrying Aviv and in doing so once again giving the middle finger to the antisemitic BS that is BDS.

 

Yes indeed, and the same goes for all of their useful idiot leftist supporters here in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

 

April 26th Update: If you haven't heard about the recent pakistani backed terror attack in Pahalgam Kashmir don't beat yourself up about it too much. The mainstream media once again has decided to largely ignore the murder of 26 Hindu tourists in Kashmir by islamic terrorists. No Jews, no news yet again. There was some really spot on signage at today's rally in Fremont. Crapistan claims they had nothing to do with the attack. But then again this is coming from the same islamist regime that claimed they had no idea that bin laden was hiding within their boarders for an entire decade to.

May 12th Update: Welcome home Edan Alexander. 

May 17th Update: This is one of two Jew Belong billboards along highway 101spotted yesterday as you can see this one is in South San Francisco. If you were to substitute the word Sudan with any other violent muslim on muslim or muslim on non muslim conflict it would work just as well. On something of a side note, Mazel Tov to Yuval Raphael for taking 2nd place against all odds at the Eurovision song contest. But that's not the only thing Jew haters are having panic attacks over this weekend. The annual NYC Israel Day Parade is going on tomorrow. It's too bad I'm on the West Coast : (

June 5th Update: Rest in peace Judith Weinstein & Gadi Haggai. 

June 7th Update: Rest in peace Pinta Nattapong.

June 11th Update: Rest in peace Yair Yaakov & Aviv Atzili

June 22th Update: Rest in peace Jonathan Samerano, Shay Levinson and Ofra Keidar.

 

I was very pleasantly surprised this weekend about a group of anti-regime Iranians holding a rally by San Francisco's Ferry Building in support of both Israel's strikes in iran and for the US bombing of the key nuclear sites. And almost equally as surprising the local media actually covered the story.
