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.

Sabramania with new Sabra vs Hulk fan art & plenty of antisemitic cry babies on social media


So first I want to open up this posting by praising the efforts of Greek artist Kapandais Nikolaos who recently did this ass kicking Sabra vs Hulk fan art. Now the timing of this fan art is no coincidence given all the tirades of various antisemites on social media have been on ever since Marvel announced Sabra's inclusion into the Marvel Cinematic Universe almost weeks ago. 

Unfortunately, her live action debut won't be for quite sometime given that Captain America New World Order won't be coming out till 2024. But in the mean time there's a lot of questions and speculation about how this is all going to work out. Shira Hass is a fine actress but I think even among Sabra fans she probably wasn't the first actress to come to mind when it comes to a live action big screen Sabra. And then ofcourse there's the question of Marvel's re-imagining of the character. But for me there's a more over reaching question. Will Marvel go forward with their plans for a Sabra live action appearance or will they end up caving to what will almost certainly be in the coming months a relentless BDS pressure campaign by antisemites? Time will tell.

The following clip art you see there is actually from Incredible HULK 255, and as you can also see it's a direct prelude to issue 256 which ofcourse is Sabra's first Marvel Comics appearance. Issue 256 has come under a lot of scrutiny in recent weeks and despite having had the issue in my collection for many years now it only recently occurred to me to have a peek at issue 255 and I'm glad I did. You see where it says . . "In the nation known as Israel" at the bottom of that top center panel?
You may notice the name “Palestine” is no where to be found here and the same is the case for the following issue which takes place in Israel. In fact, I’ve read almost everything from Marvel and DC Comics over the years having to do with all things Jewish and Israel and I’ve never seen the name “Palestine” in print anywhere. Comic book writers earn a living by telling stories that are fictional with mostly characters who are also fictional. But despite this, it would seem that comic book writers are more in touch with reality then today’s leftist antisemites. Incredible Hulk 255 and 256 were written by Bill Mantlo and penciled by Sal Buscema, but the Sabra character was actually created by Belinda Glass.
 
I recently found out that Marvel Comic Books is actually not the only media Sabra has ever appeared in. She also made a cameo appearance in the mid 90s Fantastic Four cartoon series episode 26. Her cameo was proceeded by a few others as The Silver Surfer flew through various parts of the world. I think that was a nod to Incredible Hulk 250 in which we see a similar event that featured cameos of what was then new Marvel characters like Sabra and The Arabian knight among others.
 
 
 Also, did you know Incredible HULK 256 in recent weeks has dramatically increased in value? Before all the Sabra MCU drama from the cry baby antisemites on social media you could pick up a copy in fair condition on ebay for around $10. Now the price range goes any where from $50 to $200! Some of the sellers have included a little Israeli flag icon I think that's a nice touch.
 
On a couple of interesting side notes, both Marvel and DC Comics have had Israeli characters in their stories for decades now. But did you know that DC actually had an Israeli Arab character? Taleb Beni Khalid was the Black King in Checkmate which was basically the DC version of Marvel's S.H.E.I.L.D. Khaild was a regular character in Checkmate's volume 2 series (2006) and made numerous appearances in other DC titles through out the 2000s prior to the DC reboot.

United Shades of America SF Bay Area episode hijacked by anti-Israel agenda

 


lara kiswani in her own words

Last night The United Shades of America episode "Policing The Police" aired on CNN. The episode primarily focused on the issue of racsim and police brutality here in The San Francsico Bay Area and one of the people interviewed for the episode was this charming young lady seen here. She's been a fixture in the local anti-Israel movement for several years now and true to form she used this opportunity on The United Shades of America to promote an anti-Israel narrative that has no basis in fact. 

Why do I say that? Common sense aside, I'm married to a retired Bay Area police officer who actually still works in a sector of law enforcement and she has never even so much as even heard of American cops being trained by Israelis. In fact, I would challenge anyone reading this who personally knows any cops to ask them if they know anything about training in Israel. This is just another case of an anti-Israel agenda hijacking a legitimate domestic social issue as a means of self promotion an gaining a wider audience. To be clear, the issue of police brutality and racism in America has nothing to do with the Israel  palestinian conflict going on half way around the world. Don't be fooled by the BS of anti-semitic BDSholes. Take the time to earn the facts and the truth.

W.Kamu Bell is one of the producers and host of United Shades of America. For now I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't have kiswani on this episode out of any ill will toward Israel and by extension the Jewish people. But he made a BIG mistake by letting a BDS supporting palestinian terror apologist use his show as a platform to promote her vile ideology and lies. Let him know how you feel (in a civil manner please!) W.Kamu Bell can be found on twitter and presumably on other common social media sites as well.
