It is great time to negociate the two-Stes Solution on the basis of the Geneva Statement by Abbo / Beilin.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Sep 18, 2007First and Last Name: Tony Marks-BlockCity and State/Country: San Francisco/CAComments: As a Jew who grew up in the Mission, H.O.M.E.Y's mural should be saved as it is. Its representation of the egregious wall that the Israeli government has built is a beautiful one that reflects resistance by both Israeli and Palestinian communities. Many Jews do not condone the wall in the occupied territories, and it cannot be assumed that a few Jewish organizations speak for all Jews. It must be realized that their interests are political and align with the Zionist political project that wishes for a Jewish nationalist and exclusive state. In a mural about breaking down barriers, one can see how exclusivity and occupation may be critiqued. Please respect the art of Mission youth. As a person who grew up in the Mission, I love the variety of political messages on all of the murals. If you choose to censor this one, you may as well white wall all of the rest as well, since all have political messages that certain peoples may disagree with (take the myriad murals that reflect latino resistance to immigration laws, do we prevent those from being painted because the minute men disagree with them). Thank you.Flag

Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians betrays and mocks the best traditions of the Jewish people, who in recent history have participated in progressive and humanitarian movements far out of proportion to their presence in the population, certainly the case in the U.S. The horror of the Holocaust has been exploited to justify another Holocaust, that of the Palestinian people. Were Arab nations responsible for the slaughter of 6 million Jews Did the governments of Poland, France, Sweden, Italy, etc. colloborate with Hitler Did the U.S. refrain from bombing the railroads that brought children, women and men to the death camps Does the U.S. government support Israel with billions because the care about Jews or because they care about power and OILFlag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 14, 2007First and Last Name: Arnold WarshawCity and State/Country: San Francisco, CAComments: I am signing this petition after a compromise has been reached and an altered version of Palestinian resistance has been painted in the HOMEY mural. Perhaps this particular story is over. Unfortunately, though, this kind of censorship is almost guaranteed to rear its head again. I am grateful to my Jewish brothers and sisters for fighting against the very real and all too current dangers of anti-Semitism. As a Jew I benefit from their resistance. But at the same time, I am upset and disturbed at an unwillingness by many mainstream Jewish institutions and organizations to see the horror and brutality the Israeli government commits almost daily against Palestinians. Equating criticism of the government of Israel with anti-Semitism, they react all too quickly with their power and influence to attack the kind of symbolism that was in the original HOMEY mural. I am not here to defend suicide bombings or any other kind of violence in the name of resistance. But Israel is a country with a powerfully armed military backed by the most militarily potent nation in the worldthe U.S. For every horrible act of violence committed against Israelis, the number committed by Israeli armed forces against Palestinianswho have no true nation-state to defend themare far more numerous, deadly, and destructive. (Imagine your neighborhood in the sights of helicopter gunships and tanks.) This isnt about spin. A half hour of objective internet searching will sadly prove the imbalance in victims of violence and daily indignities. What amounts to blind support of Israel is something that many "liberal" Jews would never dream of giving the U.S. government, particularly during this Bush-Cheney era. But in the name of fighting anti-Semitism, Israel is repeatedly defended while Palestinian resistance is denigrated and taken out of context. I believe it is time for a kind of post-Holocaust realization and acceptance that we as Jews, like any other group of people on the planet, are as capable of being perpetrators of state oppression as we are of being its victims. The best way to learn the lessons of the Holocaust is to take the blinders off and face the sad and tragic facts about the way Israel treats Palestine and Palestinians. Only then will there be true peace and justice for both peoples.Flag
