17 SELF-HATERS ARRESTED IN SAN FRANCISCO

Jews protesting Israeli actions arrested (JTA)
Seventeen Jews were arrested in front of the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco after they protested Israeli military actions. Citing what they call Israel’s collective punishment of those in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip as reason for their protest, they also called for an end to the 39-year-old “illegal, immoral and unjustified occupation” of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and eastern Jerusalem.

They are members of Jewish Voice for Peace, Jews for a Free Palestine and Break the Silence. The protesters, who ranged in age from 20-something to 70-something, were cited with blocking traffic and released about two hours later.
