Only morons or leftists would believe this
Oh, their excuse will be that they weren’t slighting the Jews, they were just being inclusive of the others, but only morons or leftists would believe that.
The Holocaust involved the systematic murder of six million Jewish men, women, and children, along with millions of others, by Nazi Germany during World War II. This atrocity was a direct outcome of the Nazi “Final Solution,” which was a plan aimed at the genocide of all European Jews.
The NEA’s omission was clearly intentional. Its 2025 handbook described the founding of the modern Jewish state in an anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian manner.
“The Nakba, meaning ‘catastrophe’ in Arabic, refers to the forced, violent displacement and dispossession of at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948 during the establishment of the state of Israel.”
It emphasizes the importance of NEA members educating others about the Nakba to better understand “the ongoing trauma experienced by our Palestinian American students today.”
So, what has changed? The antisemitism driving Hitler’s Final Solution, which led to the Holocaust, mirrors the Jew-hatred and anti-Israel sentiment we observe today on many prestigious college campuses in America, as well as in the NEA’s handbook.
Antisemitism surged significantly after the attack on October 7, 2023, by Hamas terrorists, who deliberately targeted civilian areas rather than military installations. They invaded a music festival and Israeli neighborhoods where they were the only individuals armed.
Children were murdered in front of their parents, and parents in front of their children. Many of those who were taken as hostages didn't fare any better. Despite these facts, many, including the NEA, blame Israel for what happened on October 7.
The NEA is not only the largest teachers’ union in the United States but also the largest labor union overall, representing nearly three million teachers and support staff. As a result, it holds significant power and influence.
