While the incidents of hate and harassment are being reported on a daily basis across the country as concern grows over the rise of white nationalism, there are small acts of kindness occurring, too.
One such act occurred this Saturday when Zoe Sokatch, 11, of San Francisco, and her dad, Daniel Sokatch, CEO of the New Israel Fund, delivered Hershey kisses to the San Francisco Muslim Community Center on Mission Street.
Only one man was there, Sokoatch recalled, when he and Zoe dropped off the treats on Saturday during a downpour. They also left a handmade card with hearts that said, "Sending Love, from your Jewish neighbors." He and his daughter envisioned more people entering the Islamic place of worship at some point during the week and feeling warmed that strangers, and from a different faith, had wished them well.
Zoe Sokatch of San Francisco delivered Hershey kisses and a note to a mosque after the election.
This surprise visit came after Sokatch had been feeling a "deep gloom" after Donald Trump was elected president. He, a liberal for both U.S. and Israeli politics, said he feels both countries are growing more conservative and more filled with fear of the "other." Trump’s incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he wouldn’t rule out mandating a Muslim registry, which the Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said he’d sign as a Jew so that Muslims wouldn’t be alone.
With the backdrop of both countries behind him, on the Thursday after the election, inspired by a friend in the Boston area, Sokatch decided to do something, albeit small and symbolic, as well.
After work, he hopped into a CVS and bought a bag of chocolates, which he left at the Masjid Al Tawheed on Sutter Street. One man was there, and he looked "warily" at Sokatch until he saw the candy. Sokatch said to him: "I know this sounds crazy but there are San Franciscans who stand with you and have your back. Please share these sweets with your brothers and sisters. He broke into a super sweet smile when I said 'We have your back.'"
Neither mosque had anyone answering the phones on Monday, so how the Hershey kiss surprise played out wasn't immediately known.
But the Sokatch family knows how they feel. Father and daughter plan to visit two more mosques on the weekend after Thanksgiving.
"We feel it's about doing the right thing for people feeling scared and alone," Sokatch said.
That only will give a false validation of their islam cult of death.
Next time use pork.
They’re not going to like that. They’re going to think they’re being taunted.
But then, what else can one expect from morons who live in that part of California?
I didn’t get past the first paragraph. It mentioned white nationalism. I stopped reading right there. It’s just another hit piece on whites.
Hershey kisses to devils who want to rape his daughter and cut his throat.

This poor child. I feel sorry for her.
Glad they did not leave their heads.
Oh how sweet. Why not book the holidays in Mosul and give your chocolate to the ISIS mosques? Lucky for father and daughter there are tough ,rational people who protect them. Stupidity however is indefensible.
I had never heard of her before your comment so I looked her up. Hideously stupid parents.
Wait. So the Alt-Right White Nationalists don’t get ANY CHOCOLATE????
O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
- Koran [5.51]
Before that the slaughtered over 700 Jews in Medina .
the mohammedans will eat the candy then laugh at the givers behind their backs for being such fools
[Before that the slaughtered over 700 Jews in Medina .]
They killed ALL the Jews in three cities. The Jews had taken them in friendship.
Excellent podcast on the history of Islamic conquest.

Trust me, this incredibly naive girl would have a different kind of “smile” on her if the Muzzlimes had their way. One on her throat.
Must be Sammy Davis type Jews. Or else suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
Yes, these incidents are being REPORTED daily, but are they actually HAPPENING???
And the only people I know who are concerned about "white nationalism" (the new lib talking point; count how many times you see it in the next week) are fiction writers and actors, i.e., journalists and talking heads.
Oh, and these chocolate Santas are mush-headed idiots. Maybe the 'slimes will rape and behead them last.
