StandWithUs/ SF Voices for Israel advocates threaten Jewish peace activists

On June 6th, 2010, peace activists including Bay Area Women in Black and Jewish Voice for Peace held a silent vigil outside the main entrance to the San Francisco Jewish Community Federation's annual "Israel in the Gardens" celebration. The peace activists called for an end to Israel's occupation of Palestinian Territories and an end to the siege on Gaza. Their silent, dignified march was greeted by members of StandWithUs and other affiliates who called them "kapos" (concentration camp prisoners who carried out Nazi orders on other prisoners) and suggested that Israel should "sink the next flotilla with you on it." One man made explicit threats against the peace activists and their families. No one from StandWithUs intervened. Rather, they kept up their vicious and abusive chants.
StandWithUs hosted a booth at Israel in the Gardens and is an approved charity at the San Francisco Federation's Jewish Community Endowment Fund. Are their values the values the Federation promotes?

Well done Bay Area Women in Black and Jewish Voice for Peace, what wonderful brave beautiful people you are. You have sent a very encouraging message to many in the world - I hope there are enough good people out there who appreciate what you are doing.

Nothing that happened 70 years ago justifies what Israel is doing in Palestine today! It is a shame that the zionist controlled propaganda media has brain washed all ability of most Americans to think objectively. The truth can smack them in the face, yet they still think Israel is always the victim. And they believe that the modern day Caucasian occupiers of Palestine are the people that wandered around in their bibles and are god's chosen pet's.

A cop walked right by the guy making those threats, apparently because he was standing too close to the peace activists. Why wasn't he arrested?

The serene small elderly woman showing a sign at 1:00 is a symbol that reminds of the spirit of a people that were not broken by pogroms, massacres and Holocausts, who can stand up for what they deem is just no matter what, with the courage of the heroic Warsaw Ghetto defenders. Like those heroes, these activists are proof of the difference between COURAGE and fascist adoration for death and violence.

And the zionists showing how fascist they are, were thus totally overpowered.

You know what I have discovered? If you show others committing hate crimes and they happen to be jewish, then you get your video flagged. YouTube is so backwards. People here are obviously spewing vile hate and racism. But because you expose it, it;s you that is the hater!! I have had this happen too many times for it to be a coincidence.

LOL! This people are crazy.

[Taytaba2]

This video should be reported, threatening with violence.

If a large amount of Jews in Germany were behaving like these people here it's not hard to see how a totalitarian regime could take over w/the promise that they would protect the public from them. 'We will hunt you down, we'll find out where you live'?
