An organization is facing major backlash across the U.S. for blaming Israel for the Hamas terrorist invasion.
School districts across the country are supporting Black Lives Matter in their schools to provide teaching resources in the wake of the rising tension in the Middle East.
Parents Defending Education’s Investigative Reporter Alex Nester joined The National Desk’s Jan Jeffcoat to discuss the issue. “First of all, just want to say the statement is absolutely horrendous. This statement follows what was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust and this was their response. Parents need to remember this when their school hosts a Black Lives Matter Week of Action next year, or when their kids are taught in schools that Zionists are colonizer opressors,” she said. “In terms of how you know BLM was even qualified to be in schools. I mean, short stories they're not.
BLM sent a statement that said, “The ongoing fight to teach truth in the U.S. must include Palestinian existence, resistance, culture, global contributions, and the ongoing struggle to realize a free Palestine.” This comes after their Chicago chapter was forced to delete a picture on acts of a Hamas terrorist paragliding into a music concert in Israel and killing hundreds of innocent people with the caption, I stand with Palestine.
“Secondly, you know, you have teachers who go to to get their master's degrees at colleges and universities that push similar narratives on them. You also have districts seeking to do some sort of Black Lives Matter Week of Action,” Nester said. “We'll look for resources like what they have on their website and this is how you get hordes of American college students who are rallying in support of Hamas and against Israel and the Jewish people.
