Was it something we said?
Alameda County's supervisors have "pulled" their proclamation on Palestinian Cultural Day in response to criticism from people they term "racists". Pro-Israel Bay Bloggers has the report.

"We would like to update you on the status of Palestinian Proclamation Day in Alameda County, scheduled for tomorrow June 5th, 2012. We have been informed as of late this Monday morning that the issuing of the proclamation was pulled from the Board of Supervisors’ agenda by President Nate Miley.Supervisors were heavily lobbied by the racist rhetoric that is perpetuated through internet blogging, and specifically politicized the event on the following link:http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2012/06/oppose-palestinian-proclamation-day-in-alameda-county-calif-tuesday.html. Please be advised that this proclamation was and remains a statement to promote Palestinian culture and heritage. We plan to be there to share concerns during public input time. Barbara Lee and Pete Stark’s office have issued a certificate of special congressional recognition and Supervisor Wilma Chan is issuing a commendation for Palestinian cultural day"
Ah, shucky darn. I was so looking forward to celebrating the day of events.
Rachel Roberts of JVP, the ISM and CAIR came to the rescue, with an op-ed in the oakland tribune, whining about victimhood. You might remember Rachel from the infantile disruption of Prime minister Netanyahu in New Orleans a few years back
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteWho can forget Rachel Roberts? She came to UC Irvine last year with matan Cohen and some actress babe. She got very angry at me during the q and a when I told Cohen off. Roberts is a hysterical woman.
