The Seattle Education Association (SEA) has passed a new resolution endorsing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians.
“The SEA leadership will use all the existing means of communication (email, Facebook, texts, and any other social media the union uses) to encourage all SEA members and community allies to learn about these issues and to encourage people in their communities to stand in solidarity with unions and oppressed people in Palestine,” the resolution declared, adding that it demands ending all collaboration between the Seattle Police Department and the IDF.
Jewish anti-Israel activist and SEA member Emma Klein praised the move, telling the left-wing news outlet Mondoweiss that it was “a bold, vocal stand against injustice.”
However, it was harshly condemned by the antisemitism watchdog NGO the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
“Attention all US teacher union BDSers. Be sure to offload all Israeli technology from your iPhones and computers,” Simon Wiesenthal Center associate dean Abraham Cooper said sarcastically, according to the Algemeiner.
“Don’t forget to tell your health coverage providers to be sure your meds and diagnostics are Jew-state-free.”
Criticism has been levied against Israel regarding the collaboration between US police departments and the IDF, much of which is based on “deadly exchange,” a widely discredited conspiracy theory that Israel teaches US cops to harm and kill minorities. While there is collaboration between Israel and US police departments, it focuses on anti-terrorism tactics, and street arrests have no part in it, according to the Algemeiner.

The beginning of the destruction of the American educational system was when teacher’s unions began to form and politics began to rule over sane education. Disband and outlaw the unions and let local cities control the fates of their own children’s education which used to be diverse labs of social experimentation where those who exceeded set the examples for collective American success, which have now degenerated into unionized political insanity where reason gives way to political passion and collectively destroys the education system’s ability to teach those concepts that work, because of the political pressure to advance social ideology that empowers political parties at the expense of empowering the student’s ability to reason and make proper choices to succeed. Politics and education were never meant to be a marriage of convenience over cooperation. You cannot collectively empower THE PEOPLE of a nation by individually weakening the children of the people in an equity that discourages excellence and encourages the lowest common denominator of submission to a political party.
This is why i have LONG RAILED against teacher unions.. I’d love to just see them ALL ENDED, period…
the whole west coast is dead to me.
Why do you think i keep asking “WHEN will the big one strike’ and SEND the west coast (say up to 25 miles in, which encompases 99% of the libtard ridden areas), INTO THE PACIFIC ocean!!!
It isn’t hard to understand how ill-equipped today’s graduates are when you look at the incomprehensible actions of teachers and school administrators.
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement should be against the communists in Seattle.
And these are the people “teaching” our young children????
Makes you wonder, HOW MANY JEWS still ‘love the dem party whole heartedly”…
What is the result of “progressiveism” AKA Democrat party/liberalism/socialism/COMMUNISM.
I’ll take Democrat platforms for 300…
