San Fransisco is full of loony lefty nuts, so it doesn't ever surprise me when they do stupid things...
San Fransisco has a bunch of far-right Israel nuts that slander and threaten decent honest Jews, as can be seen in this video. Surely it would be stupid not to condemn the Israeli's government's incessant and egregious violations of human rights and international law after witnessing that madness in your own city, eh?

Wait... so condemning a specific military action that resulted in the death of people is now "showing solidarity toward Hamas a terrorist jew hating organization and the people who voted them into power".

Yes. Yes it is. Because the entire purpose of the flotilla was to become martyrs, to fool useful idiots like yourself into supporting Hamas. And when you are already a closet anti-semite, it doesn't require a big excuse to blame Israel for everything wrong with the world.

Earth the Duca, earth to Ducamonster, I can understand that you are offended, shocked, stunned, and not amused that people in San Fransisco collectively come to some conclusion vastly different than you do in this Issue regarding the Gaza blockade. But they still are your fellow Americans, their views are every bit as valid as yours, and it also shows you that not everyone in America shares your views.

But at the end of the day, if you think your views are shared by everyone in America or that you speak for America, its time to tell you that you speak for yourself and no one else. And if your delicate sensibilities are offended by that reality, many of us will be glad to call for a whamalance to pick you up if your fellow ilk do not arrive first to dry your tears with words of their undying solidarity.

But at the end of the day nothing will change the fact that San Fransisco has taken that non binding resolution step. Even if it means nothing in terms of predicting or driving overall USA policy.

we interrupt this attack on San Francisco and its wacky politicians to bring you this important announcement:
"After more than four hours of public testimony that lasted until nearly midnight, the Board of Supervisors didn't vote on the resolution. Instead, the supervisors sent it to committee, where critics hoped it would die."

Now back to the regularly schedule liberal bashing.

Maybe the lesson from the Kylebisme Video is that we have almost two totally different sides advocating two diametrically opposed views.

But who says we must have only two possible binary views when simple human logic tells us that such Issues are never totally black or totally white.

What we have here is a failure to communicate, maybe many of of in the USA would like to support Israel but that Israeli support should never be unconditional or the only options be delimited to only two sides.

Worse yet for Israel, beyond a doubt, the USA is almost the most pro Israeli nation on earth, meaning the rest of the larger than the US 5% of the international community is far far more critical of Israel.

Goes to show you how widespread anti-semitism is. If Israel hadn't armed itself we would likely be talking about another Holocaust.

so did they condemn the rocket attacks by hamas when they happened as well?
Yeah, unlike you and your ilk, decent honest people condemn the terrorism committed by both the Hamas and the Israeli governments.

Send everyone in the USA to live in Gaza for even a half an hour and any Us support of Israel would vanish faster than a snowflake on a hot griddle.

Rather, we just put more effort into condemning the terrorism committed by the Israeli government because our government defends it, with the support of much of our population. On the other hand, our government already condemns the terrorism committed by the Hamas government, so that situation i already squared away. If only people like yourself could agree that the terrorist governments on both sides describe condemnation, then there would be no argument and we could finally start working towards a peaceful resolution.

I'd have no problem with that, so long as we also toured several other less developed areas of the world so that we'd have something to compare it to. If that was actually what happened, I doubt the outcome would be what you assume.

anyways its a bullsh*t argument, i could tell him to spend some time in dresden while the brits were bombing it to hell in an effort to convince him that the nazi's were right:p omg at the suffering of the german civilians!! those evil british! fundamentally its dishonest and lacks context.

Yep, same situation, which is why I recently posted this.

One more reason to avoid SF at all costs. It's a miserable, dirty, disgusting shit hole of a city, run by foolish idiots.

Who cares what some CITY in America says? They need to focus their attention on all their budget problems instead of some worthless terrorists dying on the other side of the planet.

No, they're morally developed unlike you. YOu dehumanize people, you turn a blind eye to people being hurt - much as the world did little for Jews in the Holocaust.
