Tel-Chai Nation

Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.


Oregonian teacher's union creates antisemitic education program

While antisemitic indoctrination on college campuses is already well known, there's also antisemitism on the younger school level to beware of, and in Portland, the teacher's union is already brewing a repulsive program for K-12 (Hat tip: The American Thinker):
The Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) promoted and collaborated in the creation of an anti-Israel lesson plan for pre-kindergarten to high school that teaches about Israel as an illegitimate settler-colonial state, anti-Zionism, and participation in protests.

At an information session last Tuesday, PAT and Oregon Educators for Palestine (OEP) presented their document “Know Your Rights: Teaching and Organizing for Palestine Within Portland Public Schools” and their companion “Teach Palestine! Resources for Portland Public Schools” lesson guide.

The Know Your Rights document was created in response to alleged censorship by the Portland Public School District of “teachers and other education workers who are teaching about Palestine, posting pro-Palestine sentiments in schools, and even those wearing pro-Palestine messages.”

Examples of alleged censorship included banning student work on settler colonialism and Zionism, presentations about Palestinians, and wearing clothing with the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

In addition to explaining legal and contractional protections and rights for educators seeking to teach pro-Palestinian perspectives, the document provides definitions for key terms. Antisemitism is described as a European Christian phenomenon, and Zionism as a “settler colonial political ideology and movement.”

[...] Jewish Federation of Greater Portland CEO and founder Marc Blattner wrote in a blog post last Friday that PAT, which represents over 4,500 Portland educators, handed out documents claiming that the October 7 massacre was justified “resistance” and that Israeli intelligence was homophobic because it blackmailed gay Palestinians with threats of outing.

“This is an effort by the teachers’ union to promote what many feel is a biased and historically revisionist curriculum,”
said Blattner. “The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland received numerous complaints from Jewish PPS teachers, parents, and even elected officials about the meeting and the materials. Sadly, the PAT continues to engage in and lead anti-Israel activism.”

Blattner said the Jewish community was meeting to create “K-12 parent advocacy groups.”

South Carolinian Sen. Tim Scott decried the guides as “indoctrination” in a social media post on Thursday.

“The antisemitic hate that is being permitted, and often promoted, at schools across the country is a disgrace,” said Scott. “No Jewish student should ever feel threatened in any classroom or on any campus!”
So Oregon continues to demonstrate why I never want to visit there anymore. Last month, Mosaic brought up similar news. This is just absolutely horrific, and it'll take forever to mend the damage this has already undoubtably led to.
