Education Rot: Massachusetts Teachers Association To Host Anti-Israel Webinar Led By Anti-Zionist Jewish Voice For Peace
The virtual event is another leftist Jew-baiting hate-in, sponsored by the people in charge of educating your children.
On Thursday, March 21, the Anti-Racism Task Force of the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) will host a webinar, “The Struggle Against Anti-Palestinian Racism.” The virtual event, sponsored in honor of the United Nations “International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,” will be co-hosted by Jewish Voice for Peace, which among other things, honored convicted terrorist bomber and murderer Rasmeah Odeh at it’s annual meeting in 2017.
According to the event description, in the wake of the Hamas massacre, more attention needs to be paid to the plight of the Palestinians :
It is often said that the issue of Palestine is ‘complicated.’ For this reason, many teachers do not feel confident to speak about it in their classrooms or with their colleagues. However, the idea that Palestinian history is more complicated than the history of other struggles against oppression means that anti-Palestinian racism too often goes unnoticed.
A team of MTA rank and file members, along with Jewish Voice for Peace, have created a workshop to engage their MTA siblings in a conversation about questions such as: What is anti-Palestinian discrimination? How does Palestine fit into the larger framework of colonialism and imperialism? What are Zionism, anti-Zionism and their histories? Why is anti-Zionism not anti-Semitism?
That this event is sponsored by the MTA in cooperation with JVP in honor of a UN “international day” tells you all you need to know.
The MTA drew fire last year when it joined the United Auto Workers and other labor unions in a lopsided call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. They also opposed US support of “the Netanyahu government’s genocidal war on the Palestinian people in Gaza.” Though they subsequently issued a more balanced statement, you already knew whose side they were on.
Their choice of co-sponsor is another dead giveaway. Jewish Voice for Peace is an anti-Israel, anti-semitic “as-a-Jew” organization that wasted no time condemning the Jewish state for “oppressing” those who raped, pillaged, and murdered their way through southern Israel on October 7:
The Israeli government may have just declared war, but its war on Palestinians started over 75 years ago. Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence.

This event has all the trappings of yet another leftist Jew-baiting hate-in, sponsored by the people in charge of educating your children.
I’m off this week because I was just married, but I do need to bring this to people’s attention:

But we’re Jews, so it can’t be anti-semitic!
Using a worn but true cliche: For people who are Jewish they aren’t very smart.
I’m so glad I moved out of the leftist craphole known as Massachusetts.
“Their choice of co-sponsor is another dead giveaway. Jewish Voice for Peace is an anti-Israel, anti-semitic “as-a-Jew” organization that wasted no time condemning the Jewish state for “oppressing” those who raped, pillaged, and murdered their way through southern Israel on October 7”
Its not really debatable that the current Israeli gov is full of extremists, fundamentalists, and far right nut jobs. The notion that criticising the Jewish state is anti-semitic is moronic. And conflating Hamas with the entirety of the Palestinian population is equally as moronic.
“Its not really debatable” (the classic line by someone who is about to assert something utterly moronic)
“far right nut jobs”
Could you put more effort into revealing what a complete jackass you are?
I have never encountered any of these pro-Palestinian activists.
How do they respond when asked about the 7 October massacre of 1200 civilians, and the kidnapping of 240 more?
What do they say about the responsibility of the Hamas government to at least attempt to feed their own people?
What do they say when asked why Hamas refuses to release the hostages in order to get a ceasefire that would relieve the suffering of their people?
This is what self hating Jews look and sound like
And, there are so many.
“sponsored by the people in charge of educating your children”
Only if you’re foolish enough to send your children to a government school.
Or, due to ever-increasing taxes, costs for rent, mortgage rates, food, utilities, fuel, and clothes, one can’t AFFORD proper schools for their children
With both parents working in order to live, neither parent is available to do home schooling.
How foolish of the common people. Tsk task.
Woke progressive leftists in MA want to ban their own state flag, but fly the palestinian flag??
smh
It has a WEAPON on it!
Plus a motto maintaining that weapons are necessary to pursue peace under liberty.
Whereas the Pali flag is just pretty colors, like the Alphabet People flag.
Disgusting and evil — vile Dhimmi-crats absolving Muslim supremacists, terrorists and Islamofascists of any scintilla of responsibility for their evil acts committed in service of genocidal, Islamic “holy war” and other, innumerable pathologies of their supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent, spiteful and pathology-laden ideology of hate.
All of the alleged blame and responsibility fir this conflict is placed at the feet of Israeli Jews, naturally. Muslims are fallaciously cast as the alleged victims, who can do no wrong.
