In the meantime, the Internet’s rumor mill is starting to churn theories about why Pedo Joe has not made a live appearance or even a few words via Twitter and the WH Press secretary seems to have taken a week off during the worse (so far) moment of the Administration.
We are entering a very interesting week.
Update: In case Tweeter deems the video harmful for Children and the current administration and deletes them, I made copies.
Listening to this insanity, I should speak up if I see drivers stop for white people in a crosswalk or white students getting a good education? Shouldn’t I want everyone to be able to get a good education or use a crosswalk without getting run over? Apparently, that makes me a white supremacist.
But it’s on the topic of the Jews that they really go off the rails.
Given the attacks on teaching about Palestine, it’s important for us as educators to understand the nature of the attacks and where they’re coming from. These aren’t spontaneous protests from random individuals; they are led, organized and financed by Zionist organizations in the United States and Israel.
Zionism is a nationalist, colonial ideology that, from the late 19th century on, has called for the creation and expansion of Israel as a Jewish state in historic Palestine by any means necessary. As support for Palestine and criticism of Israel’s apartheid policies have grown in the US and internationally, Zionist organizations have stepped up their efforts to silence discussion of Palestine/Israel in movement circles, on college campuses, and now in K-12 education.
It’s important to be clear:
Critical pedagogy about Israel’s role in Palestine is not antisemitic. Antisemitism is discrimination against, violence towards, or stereotypes of Jews for being Jewish. Criticism of Israel’s policies of apartheid and oppression of Palestinians is not antisemitism.
False accusations of antisemitism that rely on the conflation of the State of Israel with Jewish identity are an explicit strategy of Zionists, who portray Palestinians as motivated by antisemitism or irrational hatred rather than resistance to oppression.
Zionists claim to speak for all Jews, but Zionism is distinct from Judaism. Growing numbers of Jews are critical of Israel’s settler colonialism and support teaching Arab-American studies and Palestine.
Claims that discussion, or even mention, of Palestine makes classrooms “unsafe” for Jewish or Israeli American students are racist, just like claims that discussion of slavery or Jim Crow makes classrooms unsafe for white students. Students are empowered by exploring accurate history, looking beneath right-wing myths to face what’s really going on in the world. Recognizing patterns of continuing colonialism and the long history of resistance and resilience is freeing for all of us. That’s how our youth will be able to build the relationships and strategies necessary to create a better world.
Safety comes through solidarity. Antisemitism— like anti-Asian, anti-Black, anti-Palestinian, and Islamophobic attacks and rhetoric —exists in every community, but it is fostered and exploited by right-wing movements in the US and around the world that gain power by keeping us divided.
This is viciously antisemitic while claiming to be only anti-Zionist, which is a common trope of the radical Left.
They are openly claiming that it’s a conspiracy against them by JOOOOOOSSSS to shut them up when they try to teach that Israel is a colonial apartheid state and the Palestinians are just innocent victims.
This is what the Left is going to do, it will turn every school child in California into an antisemite, filling their heads with the same garbage that Palestinian children are taught in terrorist training camps they call schools in Gaza.
“What does the governor of South Dakota making an appearance at the single largest revenue generating event in her state have to do with the Federal Government fucking up foreign policy and military strategy in another country on the other side of the world?”
But the point is to humiliate you by getting you to nod along with such ridiculous untruths, like blaming the governor of the 5th least populous for the national embarrassment of watching Afghanistan fall to the Taliban in three weeks and capture a US taxpayer-funded arsenal in the process.
This is not a smart point.
This is a point that intends to make you dumber and more compliant.
