“Darlene and Donna’s presentation is being sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno, along with Peace Fresno and the Center for Nonviolence. Since it serves Hamas, an organization devoted to violent jihad, one wonders if any of them have the slightest idea of what they are doing.”

The question arises: Do the sponsoring organizations have the slightest idea of what they are doing?

As a member and volunteer for Peace Fresno, I can answer that question:

NO.

In general, the majority of membership are good hearted and mean well. That having been said, I was at the meeting wherein they decided to co-sponsor this event. I was incredulous that they could possibly believe that they could promote peace by appearing to take sides on an issue the majority of them are woefully uninformed and/or misinformed about.

For a group which pretends to sufficient political sophistication to set an example for the general public, they are demonstrating their innocence by being malleable to what appears to ME to be blatantly obvious anti-semitic propaganda operations.

My heart is heavy because I did not speak out against this when I had the chance, and that I have had a part in it at all.

Love,

Val
