Israel Solidarity rally in Redwood City today

Despite it being on a pretty short notice and in the middle of the work week, somewhere between 250-300 people turned up at Courthouse Square in downtown Redwood City to show their support for Israel. Even in the face of the bitter situation in Israel right now tonight was a wonderful moment of community, pride and zionism.

Pro-Israel Rallies from Coast-to-Coast, Standing up against terror and standing with people of Israel.

These BDShole morons that one might have mistaken for some kind of jihadi boy band were also there in a laughably pathetic attempt to cause a disturbance. They were largely ignored and ultimately crawled back to the slimy underside of some nearby rocks.

Get involved and show your support by doing a mizvah for Israel.

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

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.

6 Years now since the pathetic BDS block the boat joke in Oakland California

ZIM north bound on 880 toward Port of Oakland

So here we are in 2020 and commerce between Israel and The West Coast is still flowing through The Port of Oakland as much as it ever was. The BDSholes who pulled that shit at The Port of Oakland 6 years ago took a bunch of selfies with palestinian flags and some stupid signs and just made up any kind of "success" story to go with the photos. That's pretty much the extent of a typical BDS victory. But even in the midst of this Covid-19 nightmare you can still see ZIM cargo containers every day being hauled to and from The Port of Oakland as seen in the photo above. And every time you do it's another BDS fail.

 Speaking of all things Oakland, even in the midst of this God awful shitty Covid-19 pandemic shit storm there may be a silver lining aside from mother nature getting a bit a of reprieve from the impact of human activity. Reem's (Arab bakery with palestinian terrorist mural) appears to have seen better days. Any time of day and on any day of the week this is pretty much all you see there now. No signs about take out, delivery or about a temporary closure. Does this mean we've seen the last of Oakland's Bakery of Terror?

August 3rd Update: In other BDS fail news, English football club Luton Town switched it's kit provider from PUMA to Umbra. BDS was quick to claim it was a victory even though that there was no evidence that the switch had anything to do with politics. Based on an official club statement indeed it was just a business decision that had nothing to do with politics or the BS from BDS. Just another BDS fail, a BDS hoax from those desperate losers clamoring for some kind of victory. Just absolutely pathetic.

 Product of Israel and BDS fail at distribution center in Hayward.

Yom Haatzmaut from San Francisco City Hall

Thank you Mayor London Breed! I think it's safe to consider San Francisco honoring Israel's birthday another BDS fail for 2020.

What a sight! All that blue and white sure looks good on city hall.

On something of an interesting side note, ZIM is featured for a few seconds in a Rimini Street TV commercial. And it's not just the cargo container on the truck you can also see another container in the top right corner and a couple more in the back ground. You can watch the commercial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PbwIkTvfMo

April 30th Update: When it comes to all things Israel/Jews in comics here's something. I recently discovered a fantastic story line that involves Israel in issue 2 of G.I. Joe Special Missions (1986). The Joes are forced to make a deal with a nazi war criminal (doctor otto totenschadel) after a WW II German bomber loaded with a deadly nerve gas is discovered stuck in a glacier in Greenland. Unfortunately they come into conflict with a Mossda (Israel intelligence) that are hunting  totensdachadel.

 We learn for the first time as far as I know that a team member of the Joes is Jewish. G.I.Jew Lance Steinberg code name Clutch.

 Fortunately as it turns out The Joes manage to deal with the nerve gas with out any assistance from totensdachadel despite Cobra making a play for the nerve gas for their own insidious reasons. Meanwhile in the jungles of Brazil, The Joes and Mossad manage to work together and storm a neo-nazi compound where totensdachadel's sorry ass is using as a hide out.

In the end neither The Joes or Mossad take totensdachadel into custody but instead simply decide to divulge some rather inconvenient and self serving secrets totensdachadel had been keeping from his nazi buddies that proves to be quite fatal for him. A great story full of WW II history, politics and poetic justice.

Happy 2020, Israeli ZIM to USA since 1950

Back in the early 2000s I went to this vintage poster advertising exhibit at The Jewish Community Center in San Francisco for all manner of things Israel related. This one was always one of my favorites and I'm surprised I never thought to post it here consider all the ZIM photos I've shot and posted here over the years.

And here we have some more vintage ZIM. As you can see this photo was shot in New York in what I what I believe was the 60s. But let's get back to more current stuff in The Bay Area . . .

2019 was another shit year for all the BS that is BDS and I'm going to do my part to make sure 2020 is another shit year for those BDSholes. I hope you'll join me.

Castro Valley Trader Joes

And just as a reminder, Wonder Woman 1984 comes out in June. This is the sequel to the smash hit 2017 film starring Jewish Israeli actress Gal Gadot. If you recall, BDS launched quite a smear campaign against Gadot back then in a pitiful attempt to harm ticket sales but that turned out to be yet a another epic BDS fail. Those BDS fools didn't learn their lesson with Trader Joes who they've gone after more then once so let's see what happens if they mess with Wonder Woman again.

Thanks PUMA for handing BDS yet another fail

If you live in The Bay Area and want to thank PUMA for standing up to BDS then come shop at their store at the San Francisco Premium Outlets in Livermore. If you go on the weekend just get there early it's the only shopping outlets center I've ever known to have valet parking that's how crazy busy it gets there.

You didn't think I was gonna forget to post a photo of a ZIM cargo container full of Israeli goodies here in The Bay Area did you?

November 20th Update: As you can see, just because the game ended in a 2 to 2 tie that doesn't mean that there wasn't a winner (Israel) and loser (BDS) yesterday.

Castro Valley Trader Joes

December 20th Update: By now most of you no doubt have heard about the latest Trader Joes BDS campaign fail over Israeli Feta cheese of all things. Keep in mind BDS has had a really shitty year and are now really desperate for anything they can claim as a "victory" as 2019 comes to a close.
