Comments on: Gaza and a Shooting in Oakland http://blog.z-word.com/2009/01/gaza-and-a-shooting-in-oakland/ Commentary about Zionism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism and the conflict in the Middle East Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:45:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5-RC1.1 By: Charlotte Wagner http://blog.z-word.com/2009/01/gaza-and-a-shooting-in-oakland/#comment-3250 Charlotte Wagner Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:27:53 +0000 http://blog.z-word.com/?p=855#comment-3250 My colleague heard part of Forum this morning, KQED Radio’s morning call-in radio show. KQED is the Bay Area's very popular public radio station/NPR affiliate. Forum is likewise very popular. The show focused on the BART shooting and the murder charges against the former BART police officer. A caller who sounded African-American (I mention this only due to the relevance of race in this case, and how the outrage of the local African-American community over the shooting seems to be getting manipulated here) asked about the background of the former officer. She said she was unfamiliar with his name (Johannes Mehserle) and asked whether it was Israeli or South African. The host and assembled guests simply replied that they didn’t know anything about his background. Wonderful. My colleague heard part of Forum this morning, KQED Radio’s morning call-in radio show.

This is from Saturday's anti-Israel march in San Francisco. Towards the bottom are several photos related to the shooting in Oakland and linking it with Gaza - including the ones that have been discussed and linked to in this thread already. http://zombietime.com/gaza_war_protest/ I don’t normally read the commentary from this site, but s/he does get lots of photos - pretty much all of them are disturbing.

Both the poster you blogged about and one perhaps even more repugnant were designed by some artist/s calling him/her or themselves 'Third World' and The East Side Alliance published these along with several others Go to: http://www.eastsideartsalliance.com/ Hi Charlotte
