The sign reads ‘Why won’t those darned Arabs starve quietly, so Israel can enjoy its enlightened liberal democracy in peace?”
The Palestian flag being waved.I am in San Francisco today, and ran into a Gaza demonstration. I am now in the hotel hearing the sounds of protest, sirens and the horns of angry motorists caught in the traffic jams that are blocking the city. There is a large demonstration on Post and Market Streets, the frequent location of street level protest in the city. The demonstration is a large crowd, vocal and angry. There are young and old, Arab and Jew, tourist and local - all protesting the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza. There are signs that read ‘Jews against Zionism’, ‘Stop the Carnage’ and more. In this city, where the left wing heartbeat is strong, there is no doubt at the level of anger that the populace feel against Israel actions. We have added a few photographs (cell phone quality only - apologies) to give you a feel for the event.
