Can someone explain this LTE to me?
I'm not sure what the writer is trying to say, or imply. He's the former head of the local Republican coalition.

Editor,

It was about 20 years ago when the Women-in-Black protest movement started. It consisted of Palestine women in their black habits protesting the Israeli occupation of the Jordanian "West Bank" territory.

It was about four years ago when the Hollister cell, Hollister-in-Black, first appeared. For the last several months, Hollister-in-Black has moved from corner to corner throughout Hollister.

On Friday, July 14, there was a single Hollister-in-Black individual back on the corner of San Benito Street and Fourth Street. This individual sported the green, white, black, and red Palestine flag.

The May 1 rally for illegal aliens sported mainly American flags with a few Mexican flags. This may be the first demonstration with a Palestine flag in Hollister.

1. He's a jackass who seems not to know--
--or probably is lying, about the fact that Women in Black has been a joint Israeli-Palestinian silent protest for 25+ years.

2. Hollister MO?????
Seems to be trying to equate the Women in Black protest with illegal aliens, which is a reach. Very likely, even in Hollister (wherever, but even the one in MO), that the protestor is very much a legal resident or citizen of the US. Many of the doctors and other medical professionals in the Midwest are from the Mid-East.
