The email goes on to cite a quote that does not come from UJP or Code Pink, the two co-sponsoring
organizations, in an effort to link the protest — which is about the NIKE SHOX war, and nothing else
— to “anti-Israel” activities. This is a lie, and a shameless one. I saw the same nonsense going on
at the San Francisco antiwar rally on Saturday: there was a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli
flags. I went up to one of them and said: “What does any of this has to do with Israel? After all,” I
averred, “this demonstration is about the war, not Israel.” The guy told me that he had gotten an
email saying that an “anti-Israel” demonstration was going to take place, and that it was his duty to
show up and show the flag.
It’s interesting how the MBT Party lies, and manipulates ethnic-nationalist feeings to its advantage
— when, in reality, the overwhelming majority of Bay Area people of the Jewish faith support the
antiwar position. This email is a fraud perpetrated on the Jewish community. What in the name of all
that’s holy is the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Bay Area doing acting as a shill for the
MBT Party? An interesting question, which you might want to ask them yourself. Just call them up.
