" it's amazing to me that you can claim to be a champion of the rights of poor homeless people and against violent police over-reaction here in santa cruz and at the same time be the champion of military violence against poor homeless people in palestine."

What's really amazing, is that people whofoist the banner of peace support the murderous palestinian criminals. Where's the Arab peace movement? It's carrying an AK-47! The palestinians are not "homeless", Israel continues to defend itself against the murder of its citizens...how would you react if someone were blowing up your children and grandparents on a daily basis? Next time you see a man strapped with explosives, run up to him, give him a hug saying "I feel your pain"...
In the end, they won't be able to separate what's left of you from what's left of the tall double skinny latte you've been drinking....
