On police violence, city council abuses, housing, homeless civil rights, student rights, medical marijuana, D.A. coverups, phony local liberalism, and women's rights, Becky Johnson has done established a significant journalist record.

I believe Becky is misinformed and wrong on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. So do most others who post here. So what?

Suggesting Becky be ostracized, excluded, etc. seems a way of eliminating a good activist from the community. Bad idea.

The kind of debates that go on here are healthy and educational (although heated). But I think it's important to see things in perspective.

Becky is a dear friend of mine, but I think my opinion also reflects a realstic and fair assessment of her work and her worth as an activist.
