It should be "European vs. Middle Eastern" - and we need to shift the conversation. Jews have skin color ranging from white to black (and everything in between) but are bound by 1) a common religion and 2) roots in the Middle East. Jews from Poland, India and Ethiopia are all Jews and all share Levantine ancestry. Reframed like this, it becomes absurd to equate white supremacism with Zionism or indigenous Levantine co-religionists with European colonialists.Kevin Donohuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687347258514577693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769014608405032519.post-16277171627965999222017-07-14T03:43:11.363-07:002017-07-14T03:43:11.363-07:00After 68 years of watching this folly, I can only ...After 68 years of watching this folly, I can only hope that these fools might turn upon one another.

Fresh-baked bigotry: ...Have you already seen this?<br /><br />Fresh-baked bigotry: Oakland bakery glorifies terrorist who murdered Israeli Jews<br /><br />A bakery in Oakland, California sparked controversy shortly after its opening last month when the eatery decided to feature a decidedly un-kosher mural on one of its walls. <br /><br />In May, Reem Assil opened “Reem’s California”, an Arab-style bakery in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood. In 2016, Assil raised more than $50,000 with a Kickstarter campaign to help launch her new business. <br /><br />But within weeks of its opening, customers began to realize that Reem’s California was not merely a restaurant, but a political statement. <br /><br />A large mural glorifying PFLP terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who in 1969 murdered two Jewish college students and injured nine others in a Jerusalem bombing, covers one wall of the eatery. <br /><br />Odeh, who was released a decade after the attack in a prisoner swap, managed to immigrate to the US in 2004 under an assumed identity. Odeh was eventually convicted of fraud and stripped of her American citizenship. <br /><br />While most small business owners – particularly those with a new restaurant struggling to create a loyal customer base – would avoid making politics an feature at their establishment, for Assil, it’s part of the bakery’s mission. <br /><br />Assil, 34, was raised in a Boston suburb by parents who immigrated to the US from Syria and the Gaza Strip. <br /><br />For years, Assil has been active in radical left-wing and anti-Israel causes in the San Francisco Bay Area, and was a member of the Arab Resource and Organization Center (AROC), a fringe anti-Israel group responsible for organizing protests to block Israeli imports from entering the US.<br /><br /><br />www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/231790Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
