The situation in Gaza is reaching catastrophic levels as Israel continues its relentless assault on the territory. Reports indicate that at least 68 Palestinians were killed and 77 wounded in the last 24 hours alone, bringing the official death toll to over 40,600. However, many believe the true numbers are significantly higher due to the chaos on the ground. The World Food Programme has been forced to suspend all staff movements after Israeli forces targeted one of its clearly marked vehicles, despite the vehicle receiving multiple clearances from Israeli authorities. This incident underscores the rapidly shrinking humanitarian space in Gaza and the growing risks faced by those attempting to provide aid. -more-

The current actions taken by university administrators regarding free speech and protests, especially in light of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, raise significant concerns. The recent comments by Vanderbilt University's Chancellor, Daniel Diermeier, highlight an unsettling trend among academic institutions: using rules ostensibly designed to protect free speech to actually stifle dissent and legitimate criticism.

By refusing to divest from Israel and banning provocative speakers, universities may be perceived as siding with political and financial interests over the academic freedom and activism that have historically defined university campuses. Such measures risk creating an environment where the fear of repercussions silences legitimate criticism of Israel’s actions, including allegations of genocide against Palestinians. Labeling dissent as antisemitism and restricting protests is a dangerous conflation that undermines the essential democratic principle of free expression.

History shows us the power of protest, as seen in the role college protests played in ending the Vietnam War, saving lives, and significantly reducing American military expenditure. Instead of creating an atmosphere of suppression, universities should encourage open dialogue and debate, recognizing that free expression, even when uncomfortable, is a crucial part of the learning experience. The approach of silencing criticism will only further polarize opinions and stifle the very intellectual growth that universities are meant to foster.

Maintaining order should not come at the expense of freedom. As educational institutions, universities must prioritize protecting the rights of their students to express dissenting views, ensuring that all voices are heard, rather than silenced. -more-

Palestinian-Americans made Gaza an issue at the DNC and Democrat decision-makers floundered

A large gaggle of media was surrounding a large man recently outside Chicago’s United Center. It was the fourth and final day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC). At six feet six inches tall, “uncommitted” Michigan delegate Abbas Alawieh sounded like a gentle giant, but only until he started talking about the “genocide in Gaza.” It’s a press conference and the 30 Uncommitted Democratic party Delegates are the center of attention here tonight, but outside the convention floor. They stand behind Abbas and Leila Al-Abed another cofounder of what they are calling the “Uncommitted Movement.” Many show somber faces, as they all represent thousands of primary voters in their respective states who presumably want a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, but the DNC will not let them speak. Their request seemed simple, address the convention about the unfolding genocide in Gaza and demand a permanent ceasefire. Or, maybe it was too big of an ask? After all, as early as November of 2023 55% of Americans, over 70% identifying as Democrats, supported a ceasefire. So why the snub of uncommitted delegates now? The group had amassed a petition with thousands of signatures asking for a few minutes on the DNC stage to address the convention in which their spokesperson would call for a cease fire and a cessation of military aid to Israel, they were crystal clear on about this. -more-

They still call it the "Gaia" building.

One of Panoramic Interests' earlier proposals in Berkeley claimed to be contributing a new theater space. Patrick Kennedy, the developer, promoted a narrative city leaders loved; that all of his developments included cultural space - because he cared about culture.

But those who know theater, music clubs, movie houses, even commercial kitchens found out project by project that Kennedy was big on his own self-serving narrative but short on green rooms, prop space, space for dishes, employee break rooms, and the real requirements one finds in Berkeley's once plentiful theaters and music halls going back to the 1920's and vaudeville's heyday.

The shapes of the once-promised bookstores, music clubs, movie houses, and theaters are still there in the shadows of his high-end housing. But the impracticality of the spaces, the impossibility of hauling props, costumes, and sound equipment in and out constantly put an end to the short-lived existence of all of them.

Patrick Kennedy is now promoting simply allowing the preservation of the facade of the UA Theater as a benefit to the city, asking for an exemption to CEQA's simple requirement that the UA's historic worth be evaluated on behalf of the public and the historic record. -more-

Endorsing Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin for State Senate (August 18) the Chronicle’s editorial board calls him progressive? Jesse became mayor with that moniker, but many Berkeley citizens know he’s not.

The endorsement conveniently ignores: despite the County Board of Supervisors making clear they were phasing out former Sheriff Ahern’s Urban Shield program (which provided military training and free military hardware to police departments) Jesse kept Berkeley supportive of the program, claiming we needed a military armored vehicle.

Years before the October, 2023 Hamas raid into Israel proper, in the midst of Israel then bombing the bejeezus out of Gaza, Jesse accepted a free junket to Israel to get “educated” in Zionist justifications for apartheid. Now, unsurprisingly (unlike progressive Hayward, Richmond, San Francisco) Jesse refused to even allow a Council vote on a ceasefire resolution in Gaza.

On housing: while the Friends of Adeline and other progressive organizations have demanded that new housing at the Ashby BART station include 50% low income apartments, Jesse hasn’t shown up. Our numerous apartment developments in downtown Berkeley are geared toward exorbitant market rates. Failure to provide affordable housing engenders greater homelessness. -more-

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels of horror, as evidenced by the recent bombing of the al-Tabin school, where over 100 Palestinians were killed. This tragedy, which claimed the lives of innocent civilians, many of whom were praying in a mosque at the time of the attack, has left us grappling with the stark reality of war's brutality. -more-

The current Historical Society exhibit running until September 21, 2024 is “Berkeley and the Movies”. It is fitting that this exhibit at this time is sponsored by the Historical Society as the once vibrant center of filmmaking and film viewing in Berkeley is fading into the past, falling victim to the steady erosion of theaters demolished for housing, and creative space for collaboration turned over to more profitable tenants. -more-

City Council began and ended with the arts on Tuesday, July 30, in an eight hour and twenty-minute session of two back to back meetings, one at 3 pm and a second scheduled for 6 pm that didn’t start until 7:27 pm. -more-

Ralph E. Stone died August 18th, 2024, peacefully at his home in San Francisco, California, at age 85. Born August 3, 1939 in Worcester, Massachusetts, he was the oldest of four children of the late Paul J. Stone, an electoral engineer, and Helen G. Stone (née Thomas), a school librarian. -more-

This week my sister and brother-in-law celebrated their sixtieth anniversary. Remembering their wedding was especially meaningful for me because it coincided with another meaningful anniversary I remember from 1964, a Democratic convention quite different from the one we just watched which was a brilliantly produced television spectacle.

The 1964 convention was held in Atlantic City New Jersey. Lyndon Johnson was the incumbent president and his candidacy was locked up. Hubert Humphrey, a textbook exponent of what we called the SLP (standard liberal position), was slated to become the Democratic candidate for vice-president.

The wedding was in New Jersey too, at my parents’ home about an hour away from Atlantic City. My husband and I were allies of the civil rights struggle, and had been active in the fight for a fair housing law in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where we lived at the time. We took advantage of the opportunity to leave our not-quite-two-year-old daughter with her grandparents for the day so that we could make a trip to the convention, where the principal controversy was going to be the attempt of members of the multi-racial Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party to be seated as delegates in place of the traditional southern Democrats, the segregationists who officially represented Mississippi for close to a century.

As I watched the 2024 convention from home 60 years later, I was struck by the similarities and contrasts between the two events.

In 1964 we had no credentials whatsoever, but walked right in a side entrance and wandered at will through the spectator seats of the hall. Security did not seem to be a concern, despite the fact that John Kennedy had been assassinated just the year before. The Freedom Democrats were offered a couple of seats among the delegates in the Atlantic City auditorium, though without convention voting rights. (They weren’t satisfied.)

In Chicago last week the protestors, opponents of the war on Gaza, were among the elected and voting delegates seated on the floor, some sporting keffiyehs, but no one was allowed to express this opinion as a speech from the podium. Pre-convention credentialling and on-site security were very tight. No unauthorized person was allowed in. -more-

So, the Democratic candidate to be the next president of the United States is a Berkeley girl, and the leading progressive candidate (also a Democrat) for the next mayor of San Francisco is a Berkeley boy. Alums of BUSD are making their mark in the world.

Admittedly, Kamala Harris is often described as a proud Oakland native. Well, yes, she was born in Oakland, but of course that’s just where the nearest Kaiser hospital was located in 1964. I haven’t checked,, but she was probably born at Kaiser Oakland like many Berkeleyans, or possibly at Highland, then a county hospital.

Mirabile dictu, the two future candidates were together in Mrs. Frances Wilson’s first grade at Thousand Oaks School in 1968. San Francisco Supervisor and mayoral hopeful Aaron Peskin has the class photo to prove it, which he shared last week with his email fans.

A key piece of Kamala’s online presence is this video praising the teacher for giving her the idea that she could do anything. It’s thanks to BUSD’s pioneering school busing program that she was in the class.

The family’s apartment on Bancroft is still there, on the corner of Bancroft and Berkeley Way in Berkeley. It’s on the edge of the area available to residents of color in the formerly red-lined district.

Harris’s parents were not wealthy. Her mother and father were typical ‘60s academic gypsies, going wherever they were offered short-term post Ph.D.appointments until they found relatively secure posts. But Kamala was never a Poor Little Black Girl living in a dangerous Oakland neighborhood, as one earnest young woman described her on an NPR talk show last week. She was the proudly mixed-race offspring of well-educated parents who were able to support their daughters in comfortable if not luxurious circumstances in college towns.

Aaron Peskin came from another academic family, living in the Berkeley neighborhood previously served by Thousand Oaks School when it was almost all white, before integration in 1969 which brought kids like Kamala on school buses to Mrs. Wilson’s first grade.

The Harris family moved away from Berkeley when their daughters were still in primary school, and divorced when Kamala was 7. Her public high school, in Montreal near her mother’s research job, was described by another alumnus as unremarkable. Aaron stayed in BUSD through Berkeley High, which was automatically integrated as the city’s single high school.

My own daughters were in the same age cohort as Harris and Peskin. One says that she thinks his political career was stimulated by his participation in Berkeley High’s “Politics and Power”class as taught by Mr. Steve Teel, in which students role-played the legislative process.

A Berkeley High graduate from that era is the first person of color to lead the Court of Appeals, New York state’s highest court., Music, especially jazz, is another area where successive generations of BHS alums have excelled.

One way and another, it’s hard not to conclude that the Berkeley schools must be doing something right. Of course, this does not prevent successive generations of Berkeley parents from complaining vigorously about them, which is probably a good thing for their kids. After all, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, doesn’t it? But it can be hard on the teachers.

Though the system works well for the children of active, engaged parents, some of those whose parents must work hard to support the family continue to fall through the cracks. For every Kamala Harris or Aaron Peskin there are others whose mother or father can’t make sure that homework gets done or provide transport to important extracurricular activities.

And Berkeley is changing. Paradoxically, historically redlining Black families out of the mostly White neighborhoods east of Grove (now Martin Luther King Way) created housing opportunities for people of color in South and West Berkeley. Now, however, gentrification attracts prosperous White buyers to pay big money for modest homes which previously could be owned or rented by Black families. A substantial proportion of Black-owned properties are now owned by seniors, and as they depart their families move to distant and less expensive suburbs like Antioch.

The intentional integration of the late sixties which brought Kamala and Aaron together in Mrs. Wilson’s first grade is more complicated now. Many of the African-American students in BUSD schools are registered from the home of Grandma or a family friend. There’s still a reasonable percentage of the Black upper-middle-class professionals who have lived here for the last 40 years, mostly in the single family neighborhoods which the current Berkeley mayor and council majority seem determined to abolish.

Changing zoning is not going to solve the problem, since up-zoning simply increases land value, motivating the property owner to build multiple student apartments in place of family homes. In the end Berkeley’s segregation is now economic, not racial, and that’s a harder nut to crack. -more-

Some people support Trump because they remember prices for gas and food were lower four years ago. They were. But so were wages. Then covid happened; the economy collapsed. Trump disparaged medical science and encouraged followers to go maskless, causing 300,000 avoidable deaths out of the one million Americans who died. -more-

Breaking Down The Walz
In the run-up to the Democratic National Convention, the HarrisWalz campaign mass-mailed the following memo, accompanied by several snapshots:
"Get a hold of this: Donald Trump is telling his MAGA base that Tim Walz will 'unleash hell on Earth.' -more-

A crisis state may happen to a person when their environment (external or internal) or their circumstances, cause them to feel that their apple cart has been upended. A crisis could be seen as a threatening and urgent situation in which the solution isn't apparent. What do you do? It may not be the time to sit cross-legged and chant "Om." That may not work because we may feel so far distant from being calm that we could not conceive of being in a contemplative state. When we are in crisis, we want a solution or we want safety, and we want it now. -more-

Will Kamala "Feel the Bern"?
While Candidate Trump is always ready to sling a mouthful of slurs and accusations at his political opponents, the progressive dems at Our Revolution (founded by radical sparkplug Bernie Sanders) have prepared a list of working-class goals that (hopefully) candidate Harris would be ready to launch from a Presidential Debate podium. -more-

My Lords, I speak from a Sikh perspective, which emphasises that we are all equal members of one human family. Seeing others as lesser beings has been a source of conflict throughout history, leading to the horror of the slave trade, empire building and gross economic exploitation. It also led to the absurdity of superior and inferior races. Such talk was common in the 1930s not only in Germany but in this country. I was called a Jew in school by those who wished to hurt me. -more-

During the National Association of Black Journalists' interview of The Former Guy, the criminal candidate's complaining accusations against immigrants became wilder, weirder, and more exaggerated. We could see him making up more and more ominous lies as his hands played an invisible accordion. The fact that crime statistics for immigrants are far lower than for the general population didn't retard his fire-hose of lies. -more-

Affluent people are well connected to some realities but disconnected from others. This dichotomy allows working people to function in their jobs and lives. Bleeding heart compassion would get in the way of being able to pay the mortgage every month. People in general aren't emotionally prepared and don't have time to help every beggar on the street or try to help when they see someone appearing down and out. Affluent people focus their expertise on their jobs so that they and their families will be able to live well and get the best of life. Empathy is fine, but involvement of time and energy would make most people's lives impossible. -more-

Why are we spending our tax dollars defending Israel, a country that has forcibly taken Palestinian land with brute force since 1948 (the Nakba) and has acted in opposition to stated U.S. goals of achieving a ceasefire and releasing hostages? Their actions have escalated conflicts, including targeted killings in Iran. -more-

The recent Democratic National Convention highlights a critical issue that needs immediate attention: the exclusion of Palestinian American voices. Despite days of private negotiations, the Harris campaign refused to allow a Palestinian American to take the stage, sparking frustration among uncommitted delegates and leading to a sit-in outside the United Center. These uncommitted delegates, elected in state primaries, were pushing for an end to the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza and advocating for a U.S. arms embargo. -more-

An Imagined Moment to Savor -more-

While Democrats in the United States were celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris’s nomination and waving flags, 6,300 miles away, American bombs were killing and maiming Palestinian civilians, creating thousands of orphans in Gaza. The war in Gaza has torn families apart, leaving children without parents and parents without children. The scale of this tragedy is so vast that aid groups cannot even begin to count the number of orphans. -more-

A Chicago snow plough, normally used to confront the sometimes vicious snow storms this city routinely receives during its harsh winters, is being used as a go-to security suppression device. It has been one of my most enduring images at this Democratic National Convention (DNC) 2024. -more-
