Good to know, you say you are a human. But if so, it’s weird you don’t seem to know that a well-organized and significant percentage of the opponents of the Zionist genocide are Jews. Jews are organizing and hugely represented in the streets, in direct action, in this historic and unprecedented global outcry against Israel. Jews are among the health care workers this ML article is about. I’m no AI expert, but maybe it hasn’t kept up with this new reality: anti-zionism is not anti-semitism.

In reply to joshmicahs.

Has the UN and the international community suddenly gone all antisemitic, or do they call a war crime a war crime? Why not join the tens of thousands of Jews who condemn the killing on both sides and demand a ceasefire?

In reply to Jonah.

There were plenty of Israeli supporters rallying in SF. Calling for a ceasefire on a population that has so far seen 10,000 killed including 4,000 children is neither antisemitic nor anti-Israeli. Healthcare workers condemn war and violence full stop. They condemn the bombing of hospitals and the cutoff of supplies and electricity full stop. They’re on the very front lines of humanity while you pound away on your keyboard and wage culture war. Where the hell is YOUR humanity?

Hi Gloria. I’m not a bot. I’m a human being. I’m also a Jew who is concerned about the catastrophic surge of antisemitism. I don’t recall seeing these doctors stand for Jewish lives. Huh.

In reply to Gloria.

Bots or maybe a lot of people endorse a different narrative than the progressive ideology. That’s a mind blower for many, I know, but someone disagreeing does not mean there is something wrong. No one is denying the history of the region even in the past century is complex, but one side makes specific targets of innocent non-combatants and one side doesn’t. That’s where it starts and ends for most.
And whomever estimated 50K is having a woke fever dream…

You should save your sleeve card for murders which Israel denies, and to which there aren’t independent journalists as witnesses.

I guess when you have no factual argument, you allege Mission Local posts bots. The editors can tell you they moderate and don’t allow the same IP address to post endlessly. Just accept that not everyone is a Hamas sympathizer. The “I heard” rumor posted from fkj is emblematic of the pro hamas set….the library has a wonderful collection of books you can check out on mid east history. That way you don’t have to rely on “I heard” as a new source.

In reply to fkj.

It’s run by Hamas; people who read all know that. You may want to check out a history book instead of parroting slogans.

These comments by Frank, sayhamas, sfrentier and jonah seem to be written by the same person/bot.
Btw I heard there was a rally and march yesterday, saturday, with tens of thousands— may 50 thousand by some estimates- from civic center down market and mission. It concerns me that Mission Local is silent about it

In reply to Say Hamas.

It is called Gaza’s Health Ministry. That’s just objective fact.

Thank you for your coverage. 50,000 people marched in San Francisco yesterday in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
It’s imperative our news reflects that and all these important demonstrations. These wonderful doctors are thankfully able to see the humanity in their peers and their peers’ patients. They’re humans, too.

These medical professionals are naive and biased. Why do they blame Israel 100% and hamas 0%?? Why isn’t hamas responsible for purposely putting their military operations under hospitals (as well as schools, mosques, residences, etc.)? This fuel crisis is total BS. Israel has shown that there is plenty of fuel stored under Shifa hospital, BUT hamas is controlling it and using it to run their tunnels. Hamas should give it back to the hospital. Also, it’s interesting that these biased advocates totally ignore atrocities committed against Israelis, and focus only on Palestinians. It’s one sided events like these that help promote the antisemitic sentiment going around this country. When it comes to politics (and business) doctors are generally know to be naive dorks. They should stay the fuck out of international politics, which they know nothing about, and focus on providing their domestic healthcare.

Firstly, it’s not the Gaza health ministry – it’s the Hamas-run Health Ministry. Please specify that you’re citing Hamas’s information when you are repeating their talking points, i.e. “information.”

Hope SEIU 1021 knows that SF DHR has an EEO policy prohibiting harassment based on national origin, ancestry & religion. Anti-Semitism is not what dues-paying union members signed up for supporting. If SEIU is going to issue a “stop the killing” letter – surely they’ll send a copy to Hamas. Right? And if SEIU can’t find their mailing address – perhaps they can just use the Health Ministry’s.

(I’d love to know if SEIU leadership can actually define ethnic cleansing, colonialism & apartheid without looking it up – given they’re such fans of parroting these words.)

So when Israel punches back against a regime whose declared purpose is their annihilation, some doctors and nurses with an ideologic bias against them cloak themselves with cries of ‘babies are dying.’ Kind of like Hamas using babies as shields for their military assets. Firing rockets from hospital parking lots into southern Israel never brought such outrage. Spare me the sanctimony. They’re happy to see death, just not their guys’.

Funny, I don’t remember anyone in San Francisco rallying in support of the Israelis who were killed by Hamas’ terrorist attack that started the war!

What could be the difference? Let’s see … hmm … well, the Israelis are Jewish …
