The Women in Black held a silent vigil this weekend at the Sabeel Conference. The conference was targeted because it provided a one-sided account of the Middle East conflict, distorted history and featured documented anti-Semites as lecturers.
Women in Black stand in solidarity and in hallmark silence against war, violence and racism. We urge all Women in Black to stand with us against the lies and demonization of Israel presented at Sabeel.

Boycott the Sabeel Conference
by Boycott the Sabeel Conference Monday, Aug. 27, 2007 at 1:29 PM

There are some interesting comments regarding the racist policies the Sabeel conference at another Indymedia site:

https://israel.indymedia.org/newswire/rate/7357/index.php#Article-7357

I am sure other Christians were not aware of Sabeel's call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel, for example.
This is a dispicable group- and the fact that they are using the church to call for incitement to racism is even more abhorrent

Controversy at sabeel
by from the blog of a participant Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2007 at 12:41 PM

This is from the blog of a participant in this conference: Apparently, it was not without controversy:


"A singular bright spot was seeing the Oakland Women In Black silently protesting in front, as people were entering the grounds. At some point, a livid troll ran past screaming that he needed a felt-tip pen, he was going to make a sign warning people about the Oakland Women In Black, because they weren't REAL Women in Black (correct, some of them had beards), they..... were..... EVIL ZIONISTS!!!

He never did get his warning-sign made. I wonder what he would've put on it. Perhaps "warning, may cause awareness of reality"."

Its worthwhile reading the whole entry- the conference, as Women in Black anticipated, was a racist hate-fest

false flag

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 out http://www.bayareawomeninblack.org for more information

Not a false flag
by see their website Sunday, Apr. 06, 2008 at 2:32 PM

There are more photos at their website.

" We wear black and stand in public space to use the symbolism of mourning for the dead into war into a powerful refusal of the logic of war and acceptance of injustice. Together we educate bear witness to a better future for all peoples, not just the few declared deserving by the power structure."

and they specially distance themselves from other local groups

Oakland Women in Black has no affiliation with Bay Area Women In Black due to their rejection of
universal self determination and their use of methods that run contrary to the ethos of the international Women In Black movement.


good for them
