Sherry Conable, Louis Lafortune, and Steve Pleich were there. There were WILPF'ers. There were Raging Grannies. And there were the
Women In Black. As someone who dedicated my life to world peace at age 14, normally I would be donning black garb, wearing a hat with a black veil, and standing somberly with the WIB against those who would turn our children into cannon fodder, but I'm not. For WIB has been imbued with what can only be called anti-semitism and a rabid hatred of Israel.
And on that street corner, several Santa Cruz area residents showed up with signs supporting the Gaza Flotilla, currently chained in a Greek harbor under "house" arrest. I do not support the Flotilla.

ReplyDeleteThanks for being out there, and for sharing some real history with those who can hear it!
ReplyDeleteThe Berkeley Women in Black have lately been distributing postcards from an anti-semitic website run by Alison Weir "If American Knew". Alison Weir's materials regularly appear on David Duke's (Yes, that David Duke)website.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Alison, America does know and thats why America supports Israel
