From Bay Area in Women in Black

We would like to clear up the deliberately created confusion about Women in Black at the Sabeel Conference in Berkeley on August 18, 2007. Bay Area Women in Black held no vigil outside the conference nor did any other known or established Women in Black group. The people in the photo posted on Boston Indymedia's site on August 29, 2007 calling themselves "Oakland Women in Black" are actually members of the San Francisco Voice for Israel, who describe themselves as "a grass roots community based organization that takes to the streets to respond to enemies of Israel in the San Francisco Bay Area." They have counter-demonstrated against Bay Area Women in Black for the last four years and use tactics such as producing flyers intended to look like ours to confuse passersby and create disinformation at our weekly vigils. They also try to intimidate people participating in BAWIB vigils by aggressively taking their photo, breaking into picket lines, verbal harassment, etc.

Their intolerance of views critical of the Israeli Occupation and
their aggressive tactics are intended to confuse, misinform,
deceive, and silence others.

We do vigil weekly in Oakland, CA and would love you join us if you are in the area. Check

Just wondering

"Their intolerance of views critical of the Israeli Occupation and their aggressive tactics are intended to confuse, misinform, deceive, and silence others."

How does a silent vigil "silence others"?
 

Bay area Women in black are pariahs

Bay area Women in black seem despised by the community;perhaps that is why an alternative developed
see:

whole series of youtubes featuring this very odd group
 

"Bay area Women in black seem despised by the community"

Bay area Women in black seem despised by the *racist* community. The rest of us love them.
 

Re: Bay area Women in black are pariahs

I don't know- apparently they called the police on a young rabbi singing songs of peace.

"Help! Police! There's a group of Little kids sing songs of Peace at us!"

They seem wacko-nutsy-cuckoo- or just determined to silence any pro-Israel sentiment in their area. In either case, they are an odd bunch
