S.F. RESOLUTION ON MEMORIAL DAY MASSACRE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
==================================

http://www.endtheblockade.org/resolution.php

The proposal due to be voted on by the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors this afternoon, Tuesday, June 15th:

Full Text of the Resolution

Introduced by Supervisors Avalos and Maxwell on June 9, 2010

Resolution joining the global community, including international human
rights organizations, The Elders, over 50 nations, and thousands of
Bay Area residents in condemning the Israeli Defense Forces' military
attack on the Freedom Flotilla on May 31, 2010 that resulted in the
death of at least nine people, including a United States citizen; and
urging President Barack Obama and Congress to continue their work
addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, actively seek an end to
the blockade, and work towards genuine peace and security for all
peoples in the region.


WHEREAS, San Francisco is the birthplace of the United Nations (UN),
an international institution founded on the cooperation of all nations
and dedicated toward lasting world peace; and


WHEREAS, San Francisco's legal status as a City of Refuge is based on
the recognition and understanding of our population's unique
relationship to international struggles and the overall principle that
human life, whether here or abroad, has value and dignity; and,


WHEREAS, The San Francisco Bay Area is home to many people with ties
to Israel and Palestine; and,


WHEREAS, People have a responsibility to speak out against oppression
and historically, the San Francisco Bay Area communities have been at
the forefront of speaking freely against injustice, taking part in
humanitarian actions, and joining in solidarity with global movements
for peace and justice; and,


WHEREAS, Since June 2007, the Israeli government, maintaining the need
to protect its southern region against rocket attacks from Gaza,
instituted a military blockade on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, one
of the most densely populated regions in the world; and, WHEREAS, The
blockade, carried out by Israel and Egypt, collectively deprives the
entire population of Gaza of adequate provisions of food, medicine and
medical equipment, fuel, building material, and other supplies
necessary for basic necessities and free mobility into and outside of
the Gaza Strip; and,


WHEREAS, According to Amnesty International "rather than targeting
armed groups, the blockade mainly hits the most vulnerable, such as
children, who make up more than half of the population in Gaza, the
elderly, the sick and the Gaza Strip's large refugee population;" and,


WHEREAS, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) states
that the number of refugees living in abject poverty in the Gaza Strip
has tripled since the blockade began; and,


WHEREAS, The UNRWA further states that these families lack the means
to purchase even the most basic items, including soap, school
materials, and clean drinking water and, according to the UN, more
than 60 percent of households are currently "food insecure; " and,


WHEREAS, on January 8, 2009, the United Nations Security Council at
its 6063rd meeting adopted Resolution 1860, on file with the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors in File No. , which is hereby declared to be
a part of this resolution as if set forth fully herein, which
emphasized "the need to ensure sustained and regular flow of goods and
people through the Gaza crossings" and "calls for the unimpeded
provision and distribution throughout Gaza of humanitarian assistance,
including of food, fuel and medical treatment" and "welcomes the
initiatives aimed at creating and opening humanitarian corridors and
other mechanisms for the sustained delivery of humanitarian aid;" and,


WHEREAS, John Ging, the Director of the UNRWA Operations in Gaza in an
interview with Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, called on the
international community to take responsibility of the blockade and
pursue "practical ways to break the siege" and Director Ging urged the
world to send ships to the shores of Gaza, stating "We believe that
Israel will not intercept these vessels because the sea is open, and
human rights organizations have been successful in similar previous
operations proving that breaking the siege of Gaza is possible;" and,


WHEREAS, The international human rights community headed by the Free
Gaza Movement and The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and
Humanitarian Relief (IHH), a Turkish nongovernment organization,
organized the Freedom Flotilla consisting of six ships, including the
MV Mavi Marmara, in an attempt to bring much needed aid to Gaza and
provide pressure to break the blockade; and,


WHEREAS, The Freedom Flotilla carried approximately 800 international
civilians from 40 different countries, five of whom were San Francisco
Bay Area residents, representing all ages, genders, and religions.
Notable people aboard the flotilla included an elected member of the
Israeli Parliament, the Knesset Haneen Zoubi; internationally renowned
Swedish novelist Henning Mankell; a number of parliamentarians from
European and Arab national Supervisors , legislatures; Nobel Peace
Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan; and former UN Assistant Secretary-
General Denis Halliday, who were aboard the MV Rachel Corrie; and,


WHEREAS, The Freedom Flotilla is the ninth vessel voyage of its kind
to make its way to the blockaded Gaza Strip since 2008; and,


WHEREAS, The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) operating from warships and
attack helicopters in the vicinity forcibly boarded the Freedom
Flotilla in international waters on May 31, 2010, resulting in the
loss of at least nine lives and injuries to over 50 other civilians;
and,


WHEREAS, International law prohibits the interdiction of vessels in
international waters and a violation of this may be considered an act
of war; and,


WHEREAS, On Friday, June 4, 2010, The Guardian (UK) reported nine
Turkish men aboard the MV Mavi Marmara were shot a total of 30 times
and five were killed by gunshot wounds to the head, according to Dr.
Haluk Ince the vice-chairman of the Turkish Council of Forensic
Medicine, which carried out the autopsies for the Turkish Ministry of
Justice, and among those killed was a 19 year old United States
citizen;" and,


WHEREAS, Members of the Freedom Flotilla included five San Francisco
Bay Area activists, Iara Lee, a filmmaker from San Francisco;
Katherine Ellipt Sheetz, a registered nurse from Richmond; Gene St.
Onge, a civil engineer, and Janet Kobren, a retired school teacher,
both of Oakland; and Paul Larudee of Richmond, co-founder of the Free
Palestine Movement who told the Associated Press that he was beaten
six times by the Israeli Defense Forces, receiving multiple bruises
and a black eye; and,


WHEREAS, The Elders, a group started in 2007 by Nelson Mandela
including six Nobel peace prize winners, former UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan, former Finnish Supervisors, President Martti Ahtisaari,
former US President Jimmy Carter, detained Burmese leader Aung San Suu
Kyi, and former Archbishop Desmond Tutu, released a statement
condemning the attacks as "completely inexcusable" further stating,
"this tragic incident should draw the world's attention to the
terrible suffering of Gaza's 1.5 million people, half of whom are
children under the age of 18," and describing the treatment of the
people of Gaza as "one of the world's greatest human rights
violations" and that the blockade is not only "illegal, it is
counterproductive" because it empowers extremists in the Palestinian
territories; and,


WHEREAS, In a statement by the President of the United Nations
Security Council, on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
in, which is hereby declared to be a part of this resolution as if set
forth fully herein, released after the attack on the Freedom Flotilla,
he "stresses that the situation in Gaza is not sustainable... In that
context, it reiterates its grave concern at the humanitarian situation
in Gaza and stressed the need for sustained and regular flow of goods
and people to Gaza as well as unimpeded provision and distribution of
humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza;" and,


WHEREAS, The Israeli government has attempted to control the
information about the IDF attack on the Freedom Flotilla in such a way
that a thorough and accurate accounting is extremely difficult; and,


WHEREAS, The IDF's claims that they were the victims of an attack even
though it was the IDF who forcibly boarded the Flotilla ships from
attack helicopters and warships in international waters at 4:30 a.m.;
and,


WHEREAS, The United Nations Security Council has also referenced the
IDF's handling of the media surrounding the event as follows: "Given
that those who had been on- Supervisors, board the ships were now in
Israeli custody, including reporters who were traveling with the
convoy, and had had their transmission equipment confiscated by the
boarding Israeli forces, further information from the organizers of
the convoy had been minimal since this morning. We have no independent
information on what transpired;" and,


WHEREAS, As reported on Democracy Now on June 4, 2010, the Israel
Defense Forces issued a press release two days after the assault
saying that approximately forty flotilla passengers "are mercenaries
belonging to the Al Qaeda terror organization;" and,


WHEREAS, Despite inquiries by independent journalist Max Blumenthal
and other press colleagues to the Israeli military press office to
substantiate these claims, no evidence was provided to back up these
statements and the IDF has since modified their original headline
"Attackers of the IDF Soldiers Found to be Al Qaeda Mercenaries" to
"Attackers of the IDF Soldiers Found Without Identification Papers;"
and,


WHEREAS, United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chair of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, has called for an impartial inquiry on the
Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla and the easing of the Gaza
blockade; and,


WHEREAS, At least 50 countries have officially condemned or protested
Israel's actions against the Freedom Flotilla; several countries,
including South Africa, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Turkey, have recalled
their Ambassadors in protest; and international organizations,
including the UN Human Rights Commission and the European Union, have
condemned Israel's attack; and,


WHEREAS, On June 7, 2010, Egypt announced that it would leave its
border with Gaza open for humanitarian aid and restricted travel, thus
ending Egypt's part in the blockade of Gaza; and


WHEREAS, 50 members of Congress have signed a letter authored by
Congressman Keith Ellison, on file with the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors in, which is hereby declared to be a part of this
resolution as if set forth fully herein, to President Obama expressing
concern about the conditions in Gaza and urging his leadership in
addressing the situation; now, therefore, be it


RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco denounces all
forms of violence against civilians and encourages nonviolent
solutions to humanitarian crises in the aforementioned region, and
globally; and urges all San Francisco residents to engage in full and
open communication and education about this issue; and therefore


FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco hereby
joins the global community including international human rights
organizations, The Elders, over 50 nations, and thousands of Bay Area
residents in condemning the Israeli Defense Forces' military attack on
the Freedom Flotilla on May 31, 2010 that resulted in the death of at
least nine people including a United States citizen; and, be it


FURTHER RESOLVED, The City and County of San Francisco expresses our
condolences for families of those killed in the raid on the Flotilla
and wishes a speedy recovery for those injured; and, be it


FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco urges
President Barack Obama and Congress to strengthen their ongoing
diplomatic efforts to create lasting Supervisors , peace in the region
and call for an independent investigation into the events surrounding
the raid on the Freedom Flotilla and, in particular, into the raid
itself, the use of force and rules of engagement by the Israeli
Defense Forces; and, be it


FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco urges
President Barack Obama and Congress to continue their work addressing
the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, actively seek an end to the blockade,
and work towards genuine peace and security for all peoples in the
region.

My comment:

I favor passing this resolution as-is at present, despite its flaws,
as a step in the right direction.

Those flaws: "FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San
Francisco urges President Barack Obama and Congress to continue their
work addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza." This language
appears twice in the statement.

In reality, however, President Obama and more than 95% of the US
Congress have committed war crimes for which they deserve to spend the
rest of their lives in prison. To urge this gang of lickspittles and
jootools to "continue their work" means to doom the people of Gaza
and, by implication, many other nations as well to continued bloody
criminal aggression by the Pentagon-Israeli Axis & its stooges. The
entire delegation ostensibly representing San Francisco at the
national level --namely Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi* and the two
Jewess Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer-- are certainly
among those who belong behind bars.

At present I have only a few minutes for this point before myself
MUNIng over to City Hall to join the demonstration for world justice
and for Palestine which has already been going on for several hours.

IMHO we San Franciscans should return PDQ to City Hall to promote the
passage of a stronger resolution directed to the following parties,
rather to the lamentable colored felon & con man in the White House:

a) To existing world leaders of good character, for example:
General Vo Nguyen Giap of Hanoi; Turkish PM Erdogan; Lebanese
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah; President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela;
President Evo Morales of Bolivia; President Rafael Correa of Ecuador;
President Hu Jintao of China; the writer Arundhati Roy; the writer
Gabriel Garcia Marquez; the painter Fernando Botero; former Assistant
Secretaries-General of the United Nations Denis Halliday (who was a
passenger on the recently hijacked S.S. RACHEL CORRIE) & Han von
Sponeck; ex-cons Fidel Castro & Nelson Mandela in retirement and
Cynthia McKinney with a CC to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

b) To all our fellow Earthlings of good character and specifically to
our U.S. compatriots and even more particularly to our fellow
residents of the State and of the City.

We should establish City policy to fly the U.S. national flag
upside down in the traditional distress signal of ships at sea under
urgent threat to life or to property until such time as we, the law-
abiding and -enforcing members of the Human Race, have arrested the
principal war criminals of DICTATA aka the D.C. - Tel Aviv Terrorist
Axis and are holding them for trial. In addition to parties already
named above, the Wanted for Murder list includes Kosher King
Kissinger, the Bushez, Clintonz, Sulzbergerz, Shorenstein, Taube,
Koret, Haim Saban, Gen. Petraeus and the Bronfmen (to start with).

"Dawn Over Gaza"

By Hal Womack 3-dan

Morning has broken, like the job market,
Harley has spoken to the leaf blower,
Shit for the collapse, shit for the racket,
Shit for the joolordz grabbing for more.

Swift the drone's coming, gunlit from Heaven,
Strikes the First Mother on the dry sand,
Shit for the slaughter of her four daughters,
Slain the whole family by the joohand.

Ours be the watching, ours be the planning
Born of the heart's cry for the repay.
Sing with elation, praise every morning
Our recreation of the new day!

APPENDIX 1:
Thus plain speech and accurate English, in the same sense that we have
long been wont truly to say that in the 1930's
the Japanese invaded China; on 22 June 1941, the Germans
invaded Russia (then styled the USSR) and in later decades the
Americans have attacked Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the
Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Grenada,
Panama, Serbia, Iraq and and Afghanistan (partial list), murdering
more than ten million people in the last twenty years alone.

Because of the long-noted peculiar nature of the distributed
nationality of world Jewry,
the ins & outs of this most grave accusation against them bear
extended discussion so that we, the normal alias "gentile" rainbow
righteous Seven Billion of Earth, may achieve a clear understanding of
the character of the doomed tyranny --sometimes called, among other
names,
"JAT" for Jewish-American T.-- which presently oppresses us. Despite
the opprobrium of the sister term "self-righteous",
'tis of the greatest importance IMHO for those who do stand for
justice to develop a sense of self-awareness and a firm grasp of the
vital distinction between ourselves vs. the imperial criminals,
addicted as they are to waging aggressive war.
Those last two fatal words mean mass murder, torture, industrial-
strength lies aka "mainstream news media" and
robbery on a planetary scale. Each of us should meditate regularly on
individual cases of our choice --for example,
those of the Rabbo girls in Gaza, of Iman al-Hams, of Akaber Zaid, of
Abir Aramin and of Rachel Corrie-- in order to prepare ourselves for
the intellectual exercise of multiplying by the necessary factor of
millions
the fate of any one given victim. Such preparation will provide us
with the motive for constructing the essential hierarchy
of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Earth.
Many inspiring examples in history remind us that
yagotta have somebody to beat anybody. We Americans (here to speak of
my own nation) have the duty and the opportunity to learn from the
successes of Presidents Hugo Chavez, Nelson Mandela, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, Evo Morales, Rafael Correa, Fernando Lugo and Hizbullah
Secretary-General
Hassan Nasrallah, among others.

Will we learn to save time by using positive grammar to the
max? Thus
to transform a Jewish proverb, she who can endure the evil will live
to see glory. Let our watchwords be: Save life! Live and let live.
Friendly competition. Mercy* to all criminals, even the Bushez,
Clintonz and Obama meaning, of course, that first we put them at our
mercy.
From dissent and protest to popular accord, from tail-chasing
"activism" to vast vision to sound strategy to bold action to
victory!

The tell-tale sign that a newsgroup author is obsessive compulsive
(i.e. has OCD) is the sheer length of their post. It has so much crap
commentary and unrelated links that it almost always exceeds the
maximum length, which forces a funny little BLUE link at the bottom to
appear that actually says "read more »", and if you click it, it will
actually display MORE! It's like a cruel inside Google Joke or BP oil
disaster, it just never stops. If you've never seen one of these
little blue links before, it's like looking at Chicken Pox, Mumps or

S.F. RESOLUTION ON MEMORIAL DAY MASSACRE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
==================================
http://www.endtheblockade.org/resolution.php
The proposal due to be voted on by the San Francisco Board of
Full Text of the Resolution
Introduced by Supervisors Avalos and Maxwell on June 9, 2010
Resolution joining the global community, including international human
rights organizations, The Elders, over 50 nations, and thousands of
Bay Area residents in condemning the Israeli Defense Forces' military
attack on the Freedom Flotilla on May 31, 2010 that resulted in the
death of at least nine people, including a United States citizen; and
urging President Barack Obama and Congress to continue their work
addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, actively seek an end to
the blockade, and work towards genuine peace and security for all
peoples in the region.
WHEREAS, San Francisco is the birthplace of the United Nations (UN),
an international institution founded on the cooperation of all nations
and dedicated toward lasting world peace; and
WHEREAS, San Francisco's legal status as a City of Refuge is based on
the recognition and understanding of our population's unique
relationship to international struggles and the overall principle that
human life, whether here or abroad, has value and dignity; and,
WHEREAS, The San Francisco Bay Area is home to many people with ties
to Israel and Palestine; and,
WHEREAS, People have a responsibility to speak out against oppression
and historically, the San Francisco Bay Area communities have been at
the forefront of speaking freely against injustice, taking part in
humanitarian actions, and joining in solidarity with global movements
for peace and justice; and,
WHEREAS, Since June 2007, the Israeli government, maintaining the need
to protect its southern region against rocket attacks from Gaza,
instituted a military blockade on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, one
of the most densely populated regions in the world; and, WHEREAS, The
blockade, carried out by Israel and Egypt, collectively deprives the
entire population of Gaza of adequate provisions of food, medicine and
medical equipment, fuel, building material, and other supplies
necessary for basic necessities and free mobility into and outside of
the Gaza Strip; and,
WHEREAS, According to Amnesty International "rather than targeting
armed groups, the blockade mainly hits the most vulnerable, such as
children, who make up more than half of the population in Gaza, the
elderly, the sick and the Gaza Strip's large refugee population;" and,
WHEREAS, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) states
that the number of refugees living in abject poverty in the Gaza Strip
has tripled since the blockade began; and,
WHEREAS, The UNRWA further states that these families lack the means
to purchase even the most basic items, including soap, school
materials, and clean drinking water and, according to the UN, more
than 60 percent of households are currently "food insecure; " and,
WHEREAS, on January 8, 2009, the United Nations Security Council at
its 6063rd meeting adopted Resolution 1860, on file with the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors in File No. , which is hereby declared to be
a part of this resolution as if set forth fully herein, which
emphasized "the need to ensure sustained and regular flow of goods and
people through the Gaza crossings" and "calls for the unimpeded
provision and distribution throughout Gaza of humanitarian assistance,
including of food, fuel and medical treatment" and "welcomes the
initiatives aimed at creating and opening humanitarian corridors and
other mechanisms for the sustained delivery of humanitarian aid;" and,
WHEREAS, John Ging, the Director of the UNRWA Operations in Gaza in an
interview with Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, called on the
international community to take responsibility of the blockade and
pursue "practical ways to break the siege" and Director Ging urged the
world to send ships to the shores of Gaza, stating "We believe that
Israel will not intercept these vessels because the sea is open, and
human rights organizations have been successful in similar previous
operations proving that breaking the siege of Gaza is possible;" and,
WHEREAS, The international human rights community headed by the Free
Gaza Movement and The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and
Humanitarian Relief (IHH), a Turkish nongovernment organization,
organized the Freedom Flotilla consisting of six ships, including the
MV Mavi Marmara, in an attempt to bring much needed aid to Gaza and
provide pressure to break the blockade; and,
WHEREAS, The Freedom Flotilla carried approximately 800 international
civilians from 40 different countries, five of whom were San Francisco
Bay Area residents, representing all ages, genders, and religions.
Notable people aboard the flotilla included an elected member of the
Israeli Parliament, the Knesset Haneen Zoubi; internationally renowned
Swedish novelist Henning Mankell; a number of parliamentarians from
European and Arab national Supervisors , legislatures; Nobel Peace
Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan; and former UN Assistant Secretary-
General Denis Halliday, who were aboard the MV Rachel Corrie; and,
WHEREAS, The Freedom Flotilla is the ninth vessel voyage of its kind
to make its way to the blockaded Gaza Strip since 2008; and,
WHEREAS, The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) operating from warships and
attack helicopters in the vicinity forcibly boarded the Freedom
Flotilla in international waters on May 31, 2010, resulting in the
loss of at least nine lives and injuries to over 50 other civilians;
and,
WHEREAS, International law prohibits the interdiction of vessels in
international waters and a violation of this may be considered an act
of war; and,
WHEREAS, On Friday, June 4, 2010, The Guardian (UK) reported nine
Turkish men aboard the MV Mavi Marmara were shot a total of 30 times
and five were killed by gunshot wounds to the head, according to Dr.
Haluk Ince the vice-chairman of the Turkish Council of Forensic
Medicine, which carried out the autopsies for the Turkish Ministry of
Justice, and among those killed was a 19 year old United States
citizen;" and,
WHEREAS, Members of the Freedom Flotilla included five San Francisco
Bay Area activists, Iara Lee, a filmmaker from San Francisco;
Katherine Ellipt Sheetz, a registered nurse from Richmond; Gene St.
Onge, a civil engineer, and Janet Kobren, a retired school teacher,
both of Oakland; and Paul Larudee of Richmond, co-founder of the Free
Palestine Movement who told the Associated Press that he was beaten
six times by the Israeli Defense Forces, receiving multiple bruises
and a black eye; and,
WHEREAS, The Elders, a group started in 2007 by Nelson Mandela
including six Nobel peace prize winners, former UN Secretary General
Kofi Annan, former Finnish Supervisors, President Martti Ahtisaari,
former US President Jimmy Carter, detained Burmese leader Aung San Suu
Kyi, and former Archbishop Desmond Tutu, released a statement
condemning the attacks as "completely inexcusable" further stating,
"this tragic incident should draw the world's attention to the
terrible suffering of Gaza's 1.5 million people, half of whom are
children under the age of 18," and describing the treatment of the
people of Gaza as "one of the world's greatest human rights
violations" and that the blockade is not only "illegal, it is
counterproductive" because it empowers extremists in the Palestinian
territories; and,
WHEREAS, In a statement by the President of the United Nations
Security Council, on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
in, which is hereby declared to be a part of this resolution as if set
forth fully herein, released after the attack on the Freedom Flotilla,
he "stresses that the situation in Gaza is not sustainable... In that
context, it reiterates its grave concern at the humanitarian situation
in Gaza and stressed the need for sustained and regular flow of goods
and people to Gaza as well as unimpeded provision and distribution of
humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza;" and,
WHEREAS, The Israeli government has attempted to control the
information about the IDF attack on the Freedom Flotilla in such a way
that a thorough and accurate accounting is extremely difficult; and,
WHEREAS, The IDF's claims that they were the victims of an attack even
though it was the IDF who forcibly boarded the Flotilla ships from
attack helicopters and warships in international waters at 4:30 a.m.;
and,
WHEREAS, The United Nations Security Council has also referenced the
IDF's handling of the media surrounding the event as follows: "Given
that those who had been on- Supervisors, board the ships were now in
Israeli custody, including reporters who were traveling with the
convoy, and had had their transmission equipment confiscated by the
boarding Israeli forces, further information from the organizers of
the convoy had been minimal since this morning. We have no independent
information on what transpired;" and,
WHEREAS, As reported on Democracy Now on June 4, 2010, the Israel
Defense Forces issued a press release two days after the assault
saying that approximately forty flotilla passengers "are mercenaries
belonging to the Al Qaeda terror organization;" and,
WHEREAS, Despite inquiries by independent journalist Max Blumenthal
and other press colleagues to the Israeli military press office to
substantiate these claims, no evidence was provided to back up these
statements and the IDF has since modified their original headline
"Attackers of the IDF Soldiers Found to be Al Qaeda Mercenaries" to
"Attackers of the IDF Soldiers Found Without Identification Papers;"
and,
WHEREAS, United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chair of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, has called for an impartial inquiry on the
Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla and the easing of the Gaza
blockade; and,
WHEREAS, At least 50 countries have officially condemned or protested
Israel's actions against the Freedom Flotilla; several countries,
including South Africa, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Turkey, have recalled
their Ambassadors in protest; and international organizations,
including the UN Human Rights Commission and the European Union, have
condemned Israel's attack; and,
WHEREAS, On June 7, 2010, Egypt announced that it would leave its
border with Gaza open for humanitarian aid and restricted travel, thus
ending Egypt's part in the blockade of Gaza; and
WHEREAS, 50 members of Congress have signed a letter authored by
Congressman Keith Ellison, on file with the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors in, which is hereby declared to be a part of this
resolution as if set forth fully herein, to President Obama expressing
concern about the conditions in Gaza and urging his leadership in
addressing the situation; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco denounces all
forms of violence against civilians and encourages nonviolent
solutions to humanitarian crises in the aforementioned region, and
globally; and urges all San Francisco residents to engage in full and
open communication and education about this issue; and therefore
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco hereby
joins the global community including international human rights
organizations, The Elders, over 50 nations, and thousands of Bay Area
residents in condemning the Israeli Defense Forces' military attack on
the Freedom Flotilla on May 31, 2010 that resulted in the death of at
least nine people including a United States citizen; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, The City and County of San Francisco expresses our
condolences for families of those killed in the raid on the Flotilla
and wishes a speedy recovery for those injured; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco urges
President Barack Obama and Congress to strengthen their ongoing
diplomatic efforts to create lasting Supervisors , peace in the region
and call for an independent investigation into the events surrounding
the raid on the Freedom Flotilla and, in particular, into the raid
itself, the use of force and rules of engagement by the Israeli
Defense Forces; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San Francisco urges
President Barack Obama and Congress to continue their work addressing
the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, actively seek an end to the blockade,
and work towards genuine peace and security for all peoples in the
region.

I favor passing this resolution as-is at present, despite its flaws,
as a step in the right direction.
Those flaws: "FURTHER RESOLVED, That the City and County of San
Francisco urges President Barack Obama and Congress to continue their
work addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza." This language
appears twice in the statement.
In reality, however, President Obama and more than 95% of the US
Congress have committed war crimes for which they deserve to spend the
rest of their lives in prison. To urge this gang of lickspittles and
jootools to "continue their work" means to doom the people of Gaza
and, by implication, many other nations as well to continued bloody
criminal aggression by the Pentagon-Israeli Axis& its stooges. The
entire delegation ostensibly representing San Francisco at the
national level --namely Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi* and the two
Jewess Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer-- are certainly
among those who belong behind bars.
At present I have only a few minutes for this point before myself
MUNIng over to City Hall to join the demonstration for world justice
and for Palestine which has already been going on for several hours.
IMHO we San Franciscans should return PDQ to City Hall to promote the
passage of a stronger resolution directed to the following parties,
General Vo Nguyen Giap of Hanoi; Turkish PM Erdogan; Lebanese
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah; President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela;
President Evo Morales of Bolivia; President Rafael Correa of Ecuador;
President Hu Jintao of China; the writer Arundhati Roy; the writer
Gabriel Garcia Marquez; the painter Fernando Botero; former Assistant
Secretaries-General of the United Nations Denis Halliday (who was a
passenger on the recently hijacked S.S. RACHEL CORRIE)& Han von
Sponeck; ex-cons Fidel Castro& Nelson Mandela in retirement and
Cynthia McKinney with a CC to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
b) To all our fellow Earthlings of good character and specifically to
our U.S. compatriots and even more particularly to our fellow
residents of the State and of the City.
We should establish City policy to fly the U.S. national flag
upside down in the traditional distress signal of ships at sea under
urgent threat to life or to property until such time as we, the law-
abiding and -enforcing members of the Human Race, have arrested the
principal war criminals of DICTATA aka the D.C. - Tel Aviv Terrorist
Axis and are holding them for trial. In addition to parties already
named above, the Wanted for Murder list includes Kosher King
Kissinger, the Bushez, Clintonz, Sulzbergerz, Shorenstein, Taube,
Koret, Haim Saban, Gen. Petraeus and the Bronfmen (to start with).

"Dawn Over Gaza"
By Hal Womack 3-dan
Morning has broken, like the job market,
Harley has spoken to the leaf blower,
Shit for the collapse, shit for the racket,
Shit for the joolordz grabbing for more.
Swift the drone's coming, gunlit from Heaven,
Strikes the First Mother on the dry sand,
Shit for the slaughter of her four daughters,
Slain the whole family by the joohand.
Ours be the watching, ours be the planning
Born of the heart's cry for the repay.
Sing with elation, praise every morning
Our recreation of the new day!

Thus plain speech and accurate English, in the same sense that we have
long been wont truly to say that in the 1930's
the Japanese invaded China; on 22 June 1941, the Germans
invaded Russia (then styled the USSR) and in later decades the
Americans have attacked Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the
Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Grenada,
Panama, Serbia, Iraq and and Afghanistan (partial list), murdering
more than ten million people in the last twenty years alone.
Because of the long-noted peculiar nature of the distributed
nationality of world Jewry,
the ins& outs of this most grave accusation against them bear
extended discussion so that we, the normal alias "gentile" rainbow
righteous Seven Billion of Earth, may achieve a clear understanding of
the character of the doomed tyranny --sometimes called, among other
names,
"JAT" for Jewish-American T.-- which presently oppresses us. Despite
the opprobrium of the sister term "self-righteous",
'tis of the greatest importance IMHO for those who do stand for
justice to develop a sense of self-awareness and a firm grasp of the
vital distinction between ourselves vs. the imperial criminals,
addicted as they are to waging aggressive war.
Those last two fatal words mean mass murder, torture, industrial-
strength lies aka "mainstream news media" and
robbery on a planetary scale. Each of us should meditate regularly on
individual cases of our choice --for example,
those of the Rabbo girls in Gaza, of Iman al-Hams, of Akaber Zaid, of
Abir Aramin and of Rachel Corrie-- in order to prepare ourselves for
the intellectual exercise of multiplying by the necessary factor of
millions
the fate of any one given victim. Such preparation will provide us
with the motive for constructing the essential hierarchy
of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Earth.
Many inspiring examples in history remind us that
yagotta have somebody to beat anybody. We Americans (here to speak of
my own nation) have the duty and the opportunity to learn from the
successes of Presidents Hugo Chavez, Nelson Mandela, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, Evo Morales, Rafael Correa, Fernando Lugo and Hizbullah
Secretary-General
Hassan Nasrallah, among others.
Will we learn to save time by using positive grammar to the
max? Thus
to transform a Jewish proverb, she who can endure the evil will live
to see glory. Let our watchwords be: Save life! Live and let live.
Friendly competition. Mercy* to all criminals, even the Bushez,
Clintonz and Obama meaning, of course, that first we put them at our
mercy.
From dissent and protest to popular accord, from tail-chasing
"activism" to vast vision to sound strategy to bold action to
victory!

Post by David Kaye
It's good that nobody is forcing you to live here.
And since you don't, why do you care what resolutions
the SF BoS passes?
Oh, where to begin?

Your response raises a couple of questions, David.

First, where is it written that someone must have a
personal stake in something in order to hold (and
voice) an opinion on it?

Your fellow leftists go out of their way to treat
the rest of us to their unsolicited opinions on
any number of topics: Israel, "global warming,"
Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, Fox News, offshore
oil drilling, Iraq, Afghanistan, and on and on.

The Left clearly believes that the rest of us are
entitled to *their* opinion.

And yet, when anyone dares to voice a dissenting
point of view, particularly about local issues, the
immediate impulse fromn the Left is often to apply
a litmus test to determine whether that person even
has a right to an opinion at all.

That's obviously done in order to avoid having to
even think about what that person has to say --
which is one safe step removed from having to
give it serious consideration.

Must be that famous liberal openmindedness I've
heard so much about. What are you afraid of?
That you might find the other point of view
compelling, and be lured away from your precious,
fashionable, helps-you-to-fit-in liberalism?

Bill Buckley was spot-on when he observed: "Liberals
claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but
then are shocked and offended to discover that there
*are* other views."

And secondly, why is it that, rather than sinking your
teeth into the meat of the issue and straightforwardly
rebutting opposing ideas -- in this case, whether it's
right and proper for a city to have a foreign policy
-- liberals will try to deflect the exchange to
tangential, ad hominem matters such as residency?

This is the impulse that underlies the Left's obsession
with hypocrisy. If they can accuse an opponent of
hypocrisy, again, they figure they won't have to
consider what he actually has to say.

So what say you, David?

Let's see, the very terms of the resolution sets forth the resolution
is to join: "and thousands of BAY AREA residents"[emphasis added]. The
SF BoS is thousands of miles from Israel. By the U.S Constitution the
province of foreign policy is granted to the federal government. The
job of the SF BofS is to govern as to *local* matters.

Yet, the SF BofS can express an opinion by way of an official
resolution. However, a BAY AREA private citizen living near SF should
not give an opinion of the SF BofS??? That's even more idiotic than
the resolution.

I liken San Francisco to the palace and all of the rest of the Bay Area
is comprised of the surfs, share croppers, and slaves who stepanfetchit
so that San Franciscans can live their idyllic life without having to
put up with having to see the infrastructure that support them.

Those not so blessed live amongst the peasants in the east bay and
peninsula (the south bay doesn't even exist in SF Camelot). The water
system is all handled in diverse northern California counties, with the
major local storage tucked away among the kingdom's subjects in San
Mateo County, which also handles the airport, so that the ladies, lords,
and gentlemen don't have to hear the noisy aircraft or provide other
support.

Since when did the countryside peasants have a say in what happens at
court?

I don't. I also don't care what's going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, North
Korea, or China. We have enough to worry about keeping our own country
together. Our schools, roads, social safety net, health care system and
economic system are falling apart. We should spend our money at home fixing
these things and let the people of other countries determine their own fates.

All we can really do effectively is take care of our own back yard. This has

precisely, the government can't, although it demands that we let it keep
trying.
The U.S. has succeeded more than nearly every other country in innovation both
in the private and public sectors.

The government itself has a remarkably good record of doing things right. We
need look only at the FAA, the Postal Service, the Interstate highway system,
and those other institutions we take for granted. There's a reason why
Netflicks sends its DVDs out via the Postal Service and not by other carriers.
The Postal Service delivers on time and at a reasonable price. Can't get that
in the private sector.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and other billionaires are asking fellow rich folks
to give away 50% of their wealth. According to Bill G, he and his family
benefited from the good works of the government, such as a good
infrastructure, educational system, etc., and that it is only fair that they
should give back.

This is not a new idea for Bill G. About 10 years ago his dad wrote a book
about enacting a 50% inheritance tax for the rich (I believe it was for people
whose estates were worth more than $2 million). Now that idea has begun to
take hold.

Remember that the U.S. has one of the lowest tax rates of any Western
industrialized nations. We get a LOT of value for our money from our
government.

Now, back to radio and TV BROADCASTING, which is where I read this thread.

Not if you consider what the other nations allow to be excluded from
income before arriving at taxable income, as well as deductions we
don't even come close to having. Our *effective* tax rate is NOT one
of the lowest.
