Meaningful Black Friday

Image
  Monday I attended a spirited protest at Oakland’s Children’s Hospital.    Healthcare workers mingled with Palestinian-American people, as well as Jews, such as myself and others, many relatively young adults. As it always is for me, it was encouraging to not feel alone. -- Friday, November 24 th – was sunny and pleasant – gradually warming up.    There was a substantial attendance, including a lot of young children with their parents, supporting our local Native Community.    It was the second annual rally and march from one former shell mound site in Berkeley to a remaining part of the shell mound in Emeryville. I was very impressed with the Native leadership of the initial rally.   A variety of Native Women blended noting the colonialism and other oppression of Native People in the United States with the Genocidal assault currently of Palestinians in the Middle East along with the general oppression they face. The drumming, music and Native dancing was most impressiv

The Genocide Continues and Guess Who's Coming?

Image
  As children, caregivers, and families, we are called to do everything we can to stop the genocide in Gaza that is being enabled by our federal officials. On Sunday, November 12, children and families across the country will stand up to stop this violence and defend Palestinian kids’ future. We invite you to join us. Here in the Bay Area, we will gather at 9:30 am at the Oakland Federal Building, 1301 Clay Street.  We will have activities for families and kids of all ages to learn more in an age appropriate way about what is happening and to take meaningful action. There will be art, drumming, interactive activities, and more. All are welcome!  The 35ish year old woman was speaking to an audience of children from perhaps 18 months old  to possibly 4 or 5 years old.   She spoke of how the children of Gaza were being "hurt badly" and how wrong this was.   The children used magic markers to color in 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheets - for the Gazan People - the outlines were on the sheet

So Who are these Scary A-rabs?

PROLOGUE: The title of this writing is deliberately racist and insulting!   ( Presuming that you keep reading) my hope is that you, the reader, will understand the Irony of the Title, and some of both why I've titled this writing as I did, as well as the meaning of this writing. We were having a relaxing time at a small outdoors bar on an island off of Washington State.   The bartender was friendly.  All was well until her fateful words.   The conversation cntered around a second hand store.   B potentially would have bought a pocket bag there.    The bartender said something like:  "They have nice stuff there.   Don't accept the price stated.  You can easily Jew Down the price". B is a Black, Female, Queer Identified Jew.   The bartender probably never understood the impact of her words, nor that anyone could take offense with them.   We were impacted by perceived Anti-Semitism (even if unintended) as B said:   "Let's get the bill and leave right away".
