Synagogues, Community Groups and israelis in the bay area are banding together to fundraise and build support. Many of them have direct ties, of course, to friends and family in israel who have been killed, taken hostage or injured. Abc seven News ReporterLeslie Brinkley has more on how the war in israel is hitting home in the bay area. Israel is a small country. Everyone knows someone. One rabbi berkowitz is knitting together support in the contra costa Jewish Community in the face of what he called horrific attacks. Yes, im getting news that that people that i know persons we know are no longer with us. They were brutally murdered, brutally slaughtered, and the news just keep coming. This is denying 11 of the israelis. This is the nine over 11 of the israelis. I was raised and grew up in ashkelon. The city that right now is under tremendous attack of missiles. And my parents right now and my mother in law are in the shelters. We are not there. We are here. And we hear all the sadness and all the scary news from our friend and family. Sienna was supposed to fly to israel with her daughters yesterday, but she says her airlines canceled their flight from sfo to tel aviv and she knows people are stranded there as well. Local people are concerned. People are very worried about about security. See, this is locally this isnt in israel. People feel like there is a anti semitic undertone. Of course, were in touch with with law enforcement. Were in touch with Security Companies and so on and so forth for the coming, you know, couple of weeks in the past, i used to say im proud. Im israeli now, im kind of scared to say fundraise users are underway. Support networks are growing exponentially as vigils and rallies get planned. A walk of support for israel is set for tomorrow evening, 5 00, starting here at the walnut creek library. That march will continue down broadway and main street. Organizers are asking people to wear white and carry israeli or american flags in a show of support against terrorism in walnut creek, im leslie brinkly, abc seven news. And we heard from Benjamin Bloom law professor and associate dean for Global Programs at uc law San Francisco, formerly hastings. He spoke to me on our 3 00 show getting answers to give some valuable background on the situation we see now. There was obviously a huge failure on the part of the Israeli Intelligence of not detecting this in advance. My reading of this is that a lot of these attacks and a lot of the hostage taking is purely opportunistic. A Music Festival was was there people were vulnerable and susceptible to being kidnaped. And so thats what thats who they kidnaped. Same with children, elderly or killed or kidnaped simply because because they were there. Bloom says. The difference here is citizens, not soldiers, have been taken hostage. He says targeting citizens has not really happened since the 1960s and 70s, when the plo took Airline Passengers and students hostage. The Israeli Community at uc San Francisco held a vigil this afternoon on campus in mission bay. People came together to mourn and to honor the victims of the hamas attacks. They joined to sing prayers, put up photos and images of those lost and condemn the ongoing violence in the country. The major three us airlines have canceled flights into tel Avivs Ben Gurion airport because of the fighting. American delta and united have all stopped their flights to israel. Delta says flights will not resume until november at the earliest. United has put its nonstop from sfo to tel aviv on hiatus until further notice. Now el al, israels national airline, continues to operate nonstop flights between tel aviv and the United States, including lax.

Governor newsom just signed several bills into law, but its the ones he vetoed that may have people talking. Yeah, as abc7 News Reporter ryan curry found out, some political experts believe this might be a sign that hes preparing to run for president.

You know, its tough to go down the middle in california because the world swerves so much. What we see here is pretty much down the middle. Somebody in ohio is going to say how far to the left can you get . The governor has not formally announced any plans to run for president in 2016. Governor newsom was a strong supporter of the proposition that legalized Recreational Cannabis use. Now he stopped the advanced usage of cannabis in the state. Mahathir says it is about his image outside of california. When gavin newsom does Something Like this, you look at what the impact is on the state , but also what the states image is and his images in terms of the United States as a whole. Lets not be sht the fact that theres a president election around the bend in a statement abt e Psychedelic Drug bill, newsom said california should immediately begin rko set up regular treatment guidelines, replete with dosing information. Unfortunately, this bill wod decriminalize possession prior to these guidelines going into place, and i cannot sign it in regard to the bill on condoms in high schools, the governor says the state doesnt have the funds, as other political experts say.

Seven people suffered minor injuries when a cable car made a sudden stop. This afternoon on washington. And taylor streets on nob hill.

And im pulling my cart and i feel like somebody pushed it. Yeah, i turned around and all my food was on the ground. This video went viral after a group of Community Organizers demanded for the city to intervene. Over the weekend, those same organizers surprised juan carlos with hundreds of people from across the bay area who wanted to meet him and buy hotdogs from him and his family. The video, it was awful. So we decided to plan a buy out for him because pretty much when he pushed his cart, its like he pushed everything he had because thats how he pays the bills. Um, thats how he puts food on the table for his kids. Thats how he pays rent in a matter of hours. Juan carlos sold 250 hot dogs in a parking lot in alameda. Didnt imagine that i had so much support. There was a long line in this video. Hes thanking everyone for supporting his family online. Many have donated over 5,000 on a gofundme page. Juan carlos, when he was there, especially him, he didnt expect that big turnout. He was just super happy. He couldnt believe it.

Today in a joint statement with the city, the Department Said in part, when city staff and for street vending rules, issuing permits upholding health codes and keeping the right of way accessible and safe, were doing this work on behalf of the public to maintain a healthy and safe environment for all. Juan carlos is hoping for other vendors to also get help, saying many have been mistreated by city workers because october would like to see justice because of what he did. Juan carlos says hes hoping to get a permit soon and start a food business. The Public Works Department said their inspections were mandated by the health department.

These things are helpful to restore and heal our community and to heal the generational trauma that weve endured. But it also serves to show that theres still a lot of work to be done, not only here, but in the bay area as a whole. Part of that work is to highlight that these tribe members are still here and the university is using technology to do that. Several Santa Clara University departments partnered with ohlone tribes and once native to the land this campus is on to bring their stories to life with the use of augmented reality on cell phones.
