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 . . .

October 22nd Update: And here we are back in San Francisco in Yerba Buena Gardens where ironically is the site of where The Israel in The Gardens annual festival used to take place.

David Holsey

Be sure to dress for the part if you're going to the Israeli embassy in Washington DC

Just got back from a vacation in Baltimore. While there I wen to DC a couple of times and made sure to stop at the Israeli embassy where by a small miracle i was able to sweet talk one of the personal there to take my iphone and take a photo of me.

September 25 Update: Meanwhile back in The San Francisco Bay Area there's no sign of BDS winning anything when it comes to the real. World here's some of what I saw yesterday alone in and around The port of Oakland.

October 6 Update: I like how The Castro Valley Forum used and Israeli flag instead of just a star of David.

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

Bay Area public El Al airline advertisements

This freeway billboard might as well just say BDS Fail.

San Francisco International

San Francisco International

San Leandro

El Al is flying in the Bay Area skies, ZIM is trucking through Bay Area roads and BDS just keeps on failing. All is well : )

El Cerrito

March 25th Update: Went to a Burgerim for the first time today. Awesome sliders you can customize and I loved their potato chip style fries. The one I went to today was in El Cerrito but there's already a few others in The Bay Area with even more coming later this year thank you Tel Aviv.

East Bay Express March 20 to 26 issue 2019 Eric Swalwell on Israel

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.

Congressmen Eric Swalwell in Castro Valley for the first night of Chanukah

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.

Balfour Declaration centennial rally and Titi Aynaw at Cal Berkeley

Left click to enlarge

I wasn't able to make it to this rally today unfortunately but these great photos are courtesy of a fellow unapologetic and proud zionist who was able to make it. Thank you for getting these photos I really love the signage the Tikvha students for Israel came up with. Next Tuesday November 7th the first Ethiopian Mss Israel (2013) and former IDF soldier Titi Aynaw will give a presentation on campus. I certainly plan on being able to make that event so stay tuned for an update to this posting I'm sure I'll have something to say and share in the way of photos and feed back on how it went.

Weekend Update: Some big name celebrities like Arnold Swarchzenegger, Seal, Gerard Butler (300) and Gene Simmon (KISS) make appearances for an annual FIDF (Friends of the Israel Defense Force) dinner fund raiser which raised a record 53.8 million . . .

Titi Aynaw at Boalt Hall Cal Berkeley

November 7th Update: Sorry about the grainy image, the lighting in the room wasn't great for taking photos but what an interesting and fun night it was at Cal berkeley with the charming and beautiful Titi Aynaw. There's probably not much I could tell you about what she discussed about herself tonight that you can't learn about her on the internet. Among the highlights was her honest critic of Israeli civil society both in terms of what makes it exceptional in the volatile Middle East and where it needs to do better as a Western style democracy. Needless to say she gives a much more realistic perspective on Israel then you'll get from the obsessive compulsive pro-BDS radical leftist islamic terror apologist troll losers who've never even been to Israel but amazingly are always the foremost experts on all things Israel.

No change on the Israel California economic front. ZIM keeps on truckin as BDS keeps on failing.

November 11 Update: Hot damn, the sheckle is stronger then ever. So how's that BDS workin out for ya today you losers?

IsrAction Day

Left click to enlarge

What is IsrAction Day? It's a great and simple way to help others this holiday season while showing your support for Israel and bitch slapping BDS all at the same time. San Francisco Bay Area residence who want to learn more and get in on this here's the low down ...
 http://proisraelbaybloggers.blogspot.com/2016/12/are-you-ready-for-israction-day.html

And on some what of a side note speaking of Israeli goods I've been seeing a lot of ZIM cargo containers in the past weeks being hauled north bound on 880 from Silicon Valley into The East Bay as well as west bound on 580 from the Plesanton/Dublin area.

At your local Target stores in what I like to call the Jew section.

It's nice to see that at least some of that stuff is actually made in Israel as opposed of China.

Taking a stand against against the islamic terror promoters at U.C. berkeley

Left click to enlarge

So just a couple of days ago radical leftist muslim students for terrorism had an event at UC berkeley which they had hyped on social media for quite a while. Aside from the pro-Israel students who took a stand against that shit it seems like the supporters of islamic terror didn't exactly appear to draw a huge crowd. Nice to see at least some of the student body at U.C. berkeley is more interested in getting an education that might land them a good job some day instead of wasting time watching a bunch of useless leftists demonstrating the virtues of being a professional islamic terror supporter masquerading as human rights activists.

Wow, looks like business was booming at that hamas fundraising tent. I wonder if the 15-20 dollars of junk they sold that day will be sent to hamas directly or if they'll have to launder the money first? For more photos and information from that day here go to...

October 31st update: Well how about that, look what I saw south bound on highway 80 going through berkeley today. Even in the midst of leftard idiots at UC berkeley doing fund raising for hamas by selling cheap dime store junk while ranting and raving to sparse crowds ZIM just keeps on truckin.

Israel Defense Magazine available in Dublin CA

Left click to enlarge

Ya know, sometimes it's just the little things that can really make my weekend. Take today for example when I was wondering around at the Barnes and Noble book store in Dublin (California not Ireland) and found this in the "Current Events" area of the magazine section. Needless to say I was quite delighted I had no idea about this publication or that it could be found at a local retailer. Once again it would seem the rumors of Israel's cultural and economic isolation have been some what exaggerated by the BDShole movement. Gee whiz, what a surprise imagine that.

Left click to enlarge and fuck BDS

I'm looking forward to setting some time aside this weekend to give this issue a thorough read. For those of you who aren't near a retailer that might carry it you can always go to their website for subscription info. Also get the latest news in cutting edge Israeli military tech. and in joint U.S. Israel operations with everything from cyber security to counter terrorism and intelligence sharing.

October 22nd update: We're loving our Sodastream machine but we're having a hard time finding our favorite flavors at local stores it seems like they're always out of stock so we decided to order em online from Bed Bath and Beyond. But ofcourse each bottle reads "Product of Israel" on it on it : )

My new Sodastream Fizzi from Cliffs Variety in SF

Left click to enlarge

So today I finally bought a Sodastream machine. But instead of buying it from a nearby Bed Bath and Beyond in The East Bay I decided to go through the hassle of driving to San Francisco so I could buy it from Cliff's Variety. They've been harassed by the BDS movement for at least a few years now and I applaud them for standing up to those idiotic BDSholes because as you can see they're still selling Sodastream as of this posting today. And ofcourse I made sure to let the staff know exactly why I made a point of coming out to San Francisco to buy from Cliff's Variety.

The BDS movement has worked much better for the anti-Israel crowd as a propaganda tool then it has as an actual economic weapon. To say it's even made a dent in Israel's robust first world economy would be giving it too much credit. Although I was recently in Israel you don't have to go to Israel to see that, you can see it all around you right here in the San Francisco Bay Area as I have so diligently documented on this blog in recent months. But it's important to remember that at it's core the BDS movement is anti-Semitic with it's nazi style tactics coupled with it's human rights facade.
Despite it's lack of effectiveness when it comes to hard economic numbers, fight BDS where ever you find it. Today was a small thing in the grand scheme of things but a BDS fail is still a BDS fail which became Israel and Cliff Variety's gain and that really made my day. So the next time you run into some BDShole be sure to ask them . . how's that BDS workin out for ya today?

January 2nd 2017 Update: Here's a little something I wanted to add to this posting I've had on my iphone photo collection from my last trip to Israel. This seems like an appropriate posting for it.
