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.

2018 Inaugural WONDER WOMAN race in downtown Oakland

Promotional art by Emanuela Lupacchino

So yesterday I decided to check out this race because of the whole Wonder Woman theme. The fact that it was going on not too far from me and not early in the morning was a plus.

Little did I know that it would be something more along the lines of a Wonder Woman convention then the sort of set ups I usually expect to see at race events like this. A whole bunch of tents and booths that had everything from Wonder Woman merchandising (both running gear and non running gear) to free ice cream.

There was even a cover band playing the whole time that was doing justice to a wide genre of classic artists ranging from Van Halen to Bryan Adams to Michael Jackson and Aretha Franklin. They were even playing some contemporary artists like Bruno Mars. The back drop to the band was this this huge video monitor playing various clips from the original Wonder Woman series, a number of the animated features over the years and scenes from Gal Gadot's cinematic Wonder Woman appearances.

Lots of fun props for both the racers and random Wonder Woman fans who just happened to be there.

Most of the runners had Wonder Woman themed cosplay running outfits as you would expect.

Did I mention it was a pet friendly venue?

I even got a great shot of the Tribune Tower after night fall.

October 23rd Update: Going a little off topic here I just wanted to mention if you ever happen to be in the Detroit area you gotta check out Greek Town in the Detroit downtown area.

November 25rd Update: I seem to be on a roll lately with getting nice shots of structures with lots of pretty lights lit up at night. I got this on during a Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend trip to guess where...

Marching for Israel at The 2018 Solano Stroll

Left click to enlarge

Happy Shona Tova! As you can see it was quite a nice day during the annual Solano Stroll street fair which stretches down Solano Avenue from Berkeley to Albany. There were also some of the garden variety leftist anti-Israel/pro-terror losers present but it was what I saw stuck on a cross walk light on Lakeshore avenue shortly after wards when I stopped for a bite to eat in Oakland.

Look at this crap. I like how these radical leftists are always using terms that make no sense to the situation. The "palestinians" today are the descendants of arab migration into the Kingdom of Judea (Biblical Israel) centuries after it had been occupied by foreign powers so really who's the actual colonizer here? Oh and on top of that let's go after Israel about everything that makes it exceptional in the Middle East such as it's liberal laws when it comes to LGBT rights or like this sticker does against Israel's cutting edge green technology. God forbid they should go after any other country in The Middle East that's full of everything that's wrong about the region such as tyrants that brutalize their own populations, religious extremism, tribalism, islamic terror, rampant corruption and dysfunction. I guess the leftists who came up with this idiotic sticker didn't stop to think for a minute that sending kites and balloons carrying fire bombs to burn acres of forests and farm land isn't exactly green either. Same goes for burning tires, it's all eco-terrorism and there's nothing green about it. This sort of delegitimization, demonetization and double standard is the hall mark of modern anti-Semitism as mostly practiced by the radical left.

Pathetic feeble Land Day pro-gaza pro-hamas anti-Israel protest in San Franpsycho April 14 2018

With the latest chemical attack by the syrian regime against it's own people and the subsequent retaliatory missile attack by the U.S., Britain and France the radical left have become increasingly more desperate to turn the world's attention back to the hamas orchestrated gaza riots on the Israeli boarder. Oh well, it at least gave me the opportunity to go to SF and get some fun selfies.

Unfortunately for the pro-hamas leftists these other nut jobs were already in the plaza only about 50 feet away from where the leftists decided to set up their sorry ass protest. These "Black Hebrew Israelites" guys are not actually Jewish or have anything to do with Israel but they put the leftists in the position of having to compete for the public's attention which I thought was funny. I don't really know too much about these guys but I have seen them around before and aside from their rather unique interpretation of The Bible it seems that they're not too fond of white folks. And unknown to me before today they aren't exactly pro-choice either I'm guessing with that "Abortion is Klan Parent Hood" sign.

As always, the pro-hamas/pro-gaza riots/anti-Israel protest was filled with the usual trouble consisting of thugs dressed as the terrorists they claim not to support. And then ofcourse, what would any kind radical left wing protest in San Francisco be with out at least a few dip shit hippie left overs from the 60s like this moron with his green mustache and propeller cap. I actually recognize that idiot from the ill fated occupy wall street days in downtown Oakland. We chatted for a bit and believe me he's as stupid as he looks . . .

 Here's a couple short videos from today in which these leftists are having a fit about having their public freak show rally filmed...

April 15th Update: Speaking of leftist freaks from San Francisco yesterday code stink went after the homes of Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein in trying to make the case against the U.S. supposedly going to war with syria. I mean seriously, I understand arguing the merits of the missile strikes against the bashar al asshat regime but talk about a bunch of professional protester losers just looking for an excuse to play dress up for some street theater.

As for today the freak show clearly must go on. This is another "no war on syria" protest going on but this time in Oakland according to where I lifted this photo image from. You see that fucken sign that reads "Assad is defending syria from the wrath of terrorism"? That kind of thinking pretty much sums up what is so very wrong with the left these days. And the fact that they have deluded themselves into believing that they're not enablers to jihadists and tyrants makes them ever more so pathetic.

BDS fail in Hayward

April 28 Update: Protests come and go and always end up being yesterday's news. But as you can see commerce between Israel and California is doing just fine and is a constant.

Back to the Oakland Bakery of Terror

Left click to enlarge

So a couple days ago the Oakland Bakery of Terror (with it's wall art of convicted palestinian terrorist ratmea odor who was recently deported out of the U.S. for lying on her entry visa) hosted a signing event for some kind of BDS book which drew anti-islamic terror protests. More then likely that book it's self will actually end up being yet another BDS fail story since most of it's sales will probably consist of the couple dozen or so radical leftist loser participants at the event. Speaking of which, get a load of these characters...

On the left we've got gay anarchist kate raphael bender sporting a t-shirt that basically equates what's going on in syrian cities like Aleppo with what's going on in American cities like Oakland. I know kate you'd like to have the rest of the world beliteve that the American government is using chemical weapons on the people of Oakland with help from the russians but our social ills here are not quite at that level. Ofcourse that dumb ass shirt also has the hamas crap hole known as gaza
I'm not even trying to be funny when it comes to the person on the right but I'm honestly not sure what their gender is or if they're in some kind of transition. But again, the irony seems to be lost on this oh so progressive individual who would by no means be welcomed by the same jihadists he/she feels inclined to support. Instead lets demonize the one country in the Middle East that he/she would be welcomed in. These "queers for palestine" types are really a joke that almost writes it's self and a perfect example with what is so terribly wrong with the progressive left these days.

Palestinian toilet paper for spreading some happy holiday cheer

A truly great gift rather you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas or even both for that matter. It has so many uses including something to wipe your BDS hole. As much as I love this, what would almost be better would be toilet paper printed with UN resolutions against Israel. Just as with a flag for a country that doesn't exist, a United Nazis (or just UN for short) resolution is both worthless and laughable. Ho ho ho you all know it's true. Happy New year

Wishing all you dumb ass terror apologist Jew hating BDS holes a not so happy new year full of continued BDS fails as ZIM keeps on truckin along San Francisco Bay Area highways. 

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?
