Salinas-area activists going to Gaza

February 23, 2009

A group of Monterey County peace activists will be traveling to the Gaza Strip in early March to provide humanitarian and emotional support to children, women and women's organizations.

Led by Monterey CodePink founder Hanan Sharwar, approximately 25 activists will fly to Cairo and tour the Gaza Strip with former Army colonel and peace activist Ann Wright.

Here is a little about Mz. Wright:

Wright has worked with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on several occasions, most notably by helping organize the Camp Casey demonstration outside George W. Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch in August 2005, and by accompanying the southern leg of the Bring Them Home Now bus tour.

On October 19, 2005, Wright interrupted a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, shouting at Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, "Stop the war! Stop the killing!" Wright was uneventfully escorted out of the hearing room.

On October 3, 2007, Wright and Code Pink activist Medea Benjamin were denied entry to Canada because their names appear on an FBI watchlist due to arrests related to their anti-war activism.

Wright has also recently expressed her dissatisfaction with the current U.S foreign policy toward Palestine as seen on CNN

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

What will they reply when asked to be the first American suicide bombers? Will they strap bombs to themselves, walk into a Jewish pizza restaurant, and blow themselves up?

These people really have no clue what they are getting themselves invoved in.

Has anyone here seen Jodie Evans in person?
At the risk of being virtually shot down, I was only wondering if she was nice looking. She appears to be, in a lot of images I've seen of her. (it must be the hair LOL)

...and no lectures, I am well aware that she is one loco madre!

[VeniVidiVici]

Hello Code Pink! Gaza welcomes you!!!!!

Here's someone else that might turn you on...

Yea, they have been pretty active in the past, but have pretty much been marginalized now.

Even their "followers" have found their tactics not to work so well.

Besides the “dance party,” most of its campus activism before the sit-in had been limited to writing slogans in chalk on the sidewalk and rude behavior at town hall meetings. Given that NYU President John Sexton has shown willingness to compromise whenever it will save the school some embarrassment, there’s no question that TBNYU! would have gotten further with fewer Code Pink-style antics.

Jodie and Traitor Hanoi Jane

Damn I know that mountain in the background. They’re taking that pic from a lettuce farm in between Salinas and Marina.

Marginalized?? The commie left have just taken control of the friggin White House!

[Syncro]

Yep, and codepink helped them quite a bit.

They alienated Hilliary, and now are in the process of alienating Present Obama.

Don't get me wrong, they need to be watched closely.

[jla]

Yeah, you’re right. I think a gal is cute so that must mean I agree with her politics.

[jla]

Evans looks nice there. Never thought much of Fonda, even when she was young.

[Syncro]

She has more teeth than most codepinkers.

Up close in person she is ugly as sin.

But when I was looking into her eyes from a few feet away I could see the filth of her evil soul.

No outwards looks can hide that to the discerning eye.

[jla]

You were near the Code-Pinkers? I always imagine that Medea Benjamin having a tongue like a serpent’s.

[Syncro]

Yes she does, and looks like a midget rodent.

And has less teeth than Jodie, but more than their tattooed little Berkeley dyke mascot.
