Went to the Hilton yesterday to see what a pro-Israel demonstration in San Francisco looks like. And, disappointingly, it looks very much like an anti-Israel demonstration. There were times when I couldn't tell the sides apart.
One side held signs that were anti-Israel, the other said things that no pro-Israel person should ever (!) frikkin say.
One man, who looked like an evil leprechaun, screamed at the Arabs that they should all go back where they came from, they weren't wanted here, no one liked them, and they were sacrileging his ancestral land because he was one sixty-seventh or some crazy percentage native American.
Oh shut up, you tedious old bitchboy.
That wasn't much of a demonstration, unless we needed lessons in acting stupid.
And we are all from somewhere else.
The pro-Israel group was mostly to the right of the hotel entrance, near Mason Street, the pro-Palestinian side was to the left of the entrance, near Taylor Street. The police stood smiling in the center of the entrance getting shouted at by both sides.
The rowdies of both camps fluttered about across the street, yelling at each other. Expressing hate is not supportive of either position. I wish the people with the Israeli and American flags had just let the other side do that. I'm sure they would've done it very well.

Rather a nasty evening all round. I was there. In future, I will pass on such opportunities - not a few members of our group acted moronic or psychopathic, and I myself was no credit to our side at all times.
Could be the atmosphere and the environment - hatred and sheerly disgusting racist Jew-baiting and murderousness - but we could've and should've known that would be there, and medicated ourselves accordingly.
Ah yes, the religious element among the disbelieving heathen. Charming, and so rational. No wonder they all follow their example.
