From the city that defines the American Left, home of your House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Zombie has another photo essay showing how they roll out west: Gaza War Protest and Anti-Israel Rally San Francisco, January 10, 2009

Charles correctly calls this one the "boneheaded hatred" photo of the day:

we find these verses rebuking the transgressions of the Children of Israel in the Book of Jeremiah (3: 8 – 10):

“And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.”

And again, Jeremiah (5: 7 - 8):

“How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses
They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbor's wife”

And now listen to Jesus rebuking the Israelites of his day in Matthew (23: 25-- 33):

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous and say: “If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.”
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”

Can any sensible reader find anti-Semitism here? If not, how can we accuse God of anti-Semitism in the Qur’an where also He rebukes the transgressors among the Children of Israel?

The approach of the Qur’an is clear: God admonishes the People of the Book, those people who were given scriptures, to return to their Books. We find that on many occasions, the doctors of the old religions have distorted the scripture for their own selfish purposes. So God admonishes them and warns them of the impending punishments awaiting them. We read in Jeremiah, chapter 8: 8 –-

“How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.”

Here the Prophet Jeremiah scolds those of the Children of Israel who made the Book of God false even by the use of a pen that distorts.

We see the same idea in the Qur’an too, where God scolds those people of the Book, who wrote their own verses in the Book of God and called them God’s. Can we say that God is being deliberately anti-Semitic here?

Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, a renowned American Muslim scholar, writes on this topic:
“Taking a few passages from the Qur'an out of proper historical and textual context will not give a proper understanding of the religious scripture. This is not only true of the Qur'an but also of the Bible. Many passages from the Bible also criticize the Jews.
Read the Hebrew Bible, particularly Micah (chapter 3:1-12) and Hosea (chapter 8:1-14), in which these prophets condemned the Jews ‘who abhor justice and pervert all equity’ and who ‘build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wrong.’

These prophets cursed Israel as a ‘useless vessel among nations’ and called for the curse of God to ‘send a fire upon [Judah's] cities’ and to make Jerusalem ‘a heap of ruins.’ Prophet Ezekiel called Israel, ‘the house of rebels and a rebellious nation,’ (Ezek, chapter 2).

Similarly, in the Book of Deuteronomy (28:16-68), Moses warns the Jews that God ‘will send upon you curses, confusion, and frustration, in all that you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and perish quickly, on account of the evil of your doings, because you have forsaken me’ (28:20).”

What punishments does God put down for those that are so arrogant and prideful as to think they can speak for Him?

Those that think they know one speck of lint in God's pocket are dangerous.

Those that claim they find justification for the Jews to be subject to rocket attacks are just plain assholes.

nike, you self-righteous, diarrhetic shit, remain anonymous 'cause you're dumber and more noxious than a bag of poop. Run to mommy, you need to be weened.

It's San Francisco, CA... who cares what they think, it's a granola bar there. Whatever isn't fruits and nuts is flakes.

It's a veritable pandemic: San Francisco, Fort Lauderdale, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Washington D.C., Paris, London, Berlin, Milan, Dublin, Resistencia (Brazil), NYC, Hong Kong, Toronto, Amsterdam - to name only some of the more prominent spots and incidents around the globe and to forego mentioning spots in the Sunni and Shi'a Muslim world.

Mark Steyn hi-lights some particularly noteworthy incidents, excerpt:

In Toronto, anti-Israel demonstrators yell “You are the brothers of pigs!”, and a protester complains to his interviewer that “Hitler didn’t do a good job.”

In Fort Lauderdale, Palestinian supporters sneer at Jews, “You need a big oven, that’s what you need!”

In Amsterdam, the crowd shouts, “Hamas, Hamas! Jews to the gas!”

The ultimate pressure point on the majority islamofascist segment of Islam is the knowledge that if the US or India or Israel suffer a nuke attack, the holy cities of Mecca/Macca and the Kabba, Medina and Qom will suffer a retaliatory nuclear bombing that will result in the obliteration of the above mentioned sites - for starters.

I also find it quite shocking that the Left which hates the "opium of the masses" when it comes to Christianity and Judaism, is so accommodating to Islam and the virulent form of Islam, Islamofascism/Islamonaziism.

"Arab nationalism is secular in the sense that it does not derive its political legitimacy from divine revelation, but it is an absolutism nonetheless, enshrining the idea of the eternal and the unchanging not in an omnipotent creator but in the nation."

-Lee Smith, The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations, p.39
