Anti-Semitism in San Francisco

by Socialist
Anti-Semitism is alive and growing in San Francisco, thanks to the declining economy and the perpetration by the US capitalist class and their Zionist lackeys of the US military base to protect US oil interests, commonly known as Israel.
Anti-Semitism is alive and growing in San Francisco, thanks to the declining economy and the perpetration by the US capitalist class and their Zionist lackeys of the US military base to protect US oil interests, commonly known as Israel.

In an elevator of an office building in the Financial District of San Francisco today, this writer was alone with a young, six-foot tall, blondish, athletic man in his late 20s or early 30s, who, instead of keeping his mouth shut as most people do, said to me, a very short, middle-aged woman, "Don't I know you from somewhere?" This was obviously the usual opening line of a man who was trying to be fresh with a woman, so I said nothing. He tried to shake my hand, but I refused. When he saw that I would not fall for this rapist line, he stated, "I thought I saw you at some synagogue." He then got off the elevator. I realized then that the hatemongering, perpetrated by George War Bush, his Nazi friends, and the Zionists, has escalated, and it is time we all tell each other about the incidents we experience and provide suggestions on how to cope.

Keep in mind that I said nothing to him in the elevator, so he could only be making such a statement on the basis of his image of what a Jewish person is supposed to be. It may interest the reader that Jews look like all other people of Mediterranean descent, including but not limited to Arabs, Italians, Spaniards, Latin Americans, Greeks, Yugoslavs and others. And since Jews can be all colors from very dark brown to very fair, white skin; have very dark hair to very light blonde or red hair, have very curly to very straight hair, and be any height and any weight, the stereotype of Jewish could easily be misapplied. Thus, everyone should listen up.

If you are alone in the elevator, it is best to say nothing and certainly do not shake this anti-Semite's hand. If you do indeed feel threatened, press a button to get the door to open to a floor, scream rape, or if you think no one will respond to that, then scream fire. If you are out on the street where there are other people around, and are the same height as the anti-Semite, you can slap him so that his face has the red imprint of your hand on his face. I am sure you will have no trouble whipping out such a hard slap as you will be at least as angry as I was. My blood pressure went up to 200 when it is normally 120/70. If you are with a group and the anti-Semites pull this kind of stunt, and you are a similar height, take off a shoe and whack him with your shoe. I am sure the other women in your group will be glad to join with you in the fun lesson to the anti-Semite to never harass women. This is precisely what the drag queens at Stonewall did in 1969 when the police invaded their bar. We commemorate Stonewall every year with the Gay Pride Parade. Anti-Semitic thugs think that gays, women and Jews do not fight back. I have news for all the anti-Semites: We do fight back. Do not ever harass any woman!

It is time everyone get their facts straight on Israel, Zionists and anti-Semitism. Israel exists as a US military base in the Middle East to protect US oil profits. It is paid for with US tax dollars to the tune of $4 billion annually above the table and $4 billion annually below the table. It is a racist, theocratic, militaristic, anti-women, anti-gay, anti-labor capitalist puppet of the United States. Thus, it is the US government that is the Israel Lobby. The twin parties of capitalism, the Democrats & Republicans, that constitute the US government thus have a vested interest in promoting Israel as it exists to promote US imperialism, which they both support. If you do not belong to the Democrat-Republican parties, you can and should speak against Israel. You cannot lose your funding because you never received funding from capitalist organizations in the first place if you spoke out against Israel. As our movement for a secular, socialist state of Palestine grows, we will elect people who do not support US oil imperialism and its lackey, the Zionist state of Israel.

The Zionists in the US are the loyal, anti-communist, anti-labor stooges of the United States government. They have a long history of collaboration with the Nazis and now with the US government in promoting Israel. They do nothing to oppose anti-Semitism in the US and by refusing to enforce the church/state separation mandate of the US Constitution, actively promote anti-Semitism. They refuse to oppose the illegal and despicable loyalty oath, the Pledge of Allegiance; they allow Christmas trees and Christmas parties on government property, and they allow crosses on public property, as is the case with the cross on Mt. Davidson, San Francisco. It is now supposedly on "private" land as an illegal initiative was promoted by all of the good Democrats of San Francisco, and supported by the Zionists, to privatize a piece of public park land so as to circumvent a good Church/State separation ruling by the US Supreme Court, to allow the cross to stay on Mt. Davidson. They cooperated with the anti-communist witchhunts of the 1950s, whose victims were often Jewish, and included Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Morton Sobel, falsely accused of conspiring to commit atomic espionage. As the labor lawyer, Clarence Darrow stated, conspiracy charges should have been thrown out with the thumbscrew and the rack as they exact a maximum penalty without proving an overt act.

George War Bush, the grandson of a Nazi collaborator, and his Nazi friends are vicious anti-Semites. They do not give a damn about Jews. They only care about profits, as do all capitalists, and in the case of the Middle East, that means oil profits.

Thus, it is the Zionists who are not only anti-Semites (both Jews and Arabs are Semites) but it is they, not the anti-Zionist Jews, who are self-hating Jews. So, when you are called a self-hating Jew by a Zionist, you scream the same epithet in that hoodlum's face loudly and clearly, over and over again, preferably as you point your finger at him. I also suggest that from now on, whenever it seems possible, you tell every supporter of the Zionist state of Israel loudly and clearly that they are a stinking piece of shit. And above all, stop voting for all politicians who support Israel. If you do not know a politician's position, ask. If you cannot find a suitable candidate for a given position, skip that position. That is the only way the message will be received that we do not want any of our representatives at the local, state or federal level to support the Zionist state of Israel and we want the tax dollars going to Israel to be spent right here at home on all of our urgent social needs.

The Zionist organizations receive most of their funding from religious American Jews because anti-Semitism exists in the US, and every single person of Jewish descent, whether we are atheists (the majority of American Jews are atheists) or not, whether we oppose or support Israel, have all experienced anti-Semitism. The Zionists use this 2,000-year history of anti-Semitism as an excuse to promote Israel, but in fact, the existence of Israel as a Zionist, racist state only makes the anti-Semitism worse. One Zionist organization, the Anti-Defamation League, has used a historically correct listing of anti-Semitic false generalities, and thus demonstrates why all anti-Zionists must emphasize the US as the primary perpetrator of the crimes against humanity against the Palestinians. It is not the Jews, it is US oil imperialism, or simply the United States government, that is the problem. That list is as follows:

1) Jews stick together more than other Americans.
2) Jews always like to be at the head of things.
3) Jews are more loyal to Israel than America.
4) Jews have too much power in the U.S. today.
5) Jews have too much control and influence on Wall Street.
6) Jews have too much power in the business world.
7) Jews have a lot of irritating faults.
8) Jews are more willing than others to use shady practices to get what they want.
9) Jewish businesspeople are so shrewd that others don’t have a fair chance at competition.
10) Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind.
11) Jews are not just as honest as other businesspeople.
