There’s a lot to unpack here but let’s not get off topic - a high school English class is not the appropriate forum to ask students to respond to this teachers beliefs. If it was any other group being targeted, this would not stand.

She is not targeting a group. She is criticizing the policies of a particular government. Unless you agree with those policies, you would not feel included. Many Jews in Israel are very opposed to what is happening.

Did you read the article? I’m sorry but even if you disagree with what Israel is doing via a vis Gaza, there is literally no place in a public school (or anywhere else for that matter) where one should be allowed to accuse Israelis of playing victim because of the Holocaust. Shame on her, and shame on APS. And shame on any of you who think this is anything but blatant anti-Semetism. The holocaust happened. The victimization of Israelis and Jews as part of the holocaust should not be the topic of any legitimate political discourse. It’s just hate speech, plain and simple.

It didn't say that anywhere in the article!

“ Shayma Al-Hanooti, who works at Washington-Liberty High School in Arlington, gave her students politically charged assignments such as sorting out “logical fallacies” in how Israelis use the “Holocaust to victimize themselves,” new documents reveal.”

Uhm, did she deny with that question that the holocaust happened?

Oh my god stop it. We all see through this. “Ummmm ???” FOH. I hope she gets fired, this is blatantly racist.

-not Jewish or Israeli

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SUGGESTING THAT IT’S ACCEPTABLE TO ACCUSE ISRAELIS OF PLAYING THE VICTIM BECAUSE OF THE HOLOCAUST? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

It’s not “criticizing Israel” that is the issue.
It’s advocating for students to chant anti-Semitic slogans such as “from the river to the sea Palestine will soon be free”….which is a dog-whistle anti-Semitic code for “wipe out the jewwws”

But you know this.

Your disingenuous victim hood is why people don’t support your point of view.
We can agree that Israel needs to be more cautious in its response to the Oct 7 attacked by Hamas without excusing a call for the annihilation of Jewish people in
Israel.

And let’s be clear, while Israelis doesn’t always mean Jews, in this case it does, since Israel didn’t exist at the time of the Holocaust and therefore couldn’t have been victimized by it. So let’s call it what it is—accusing Jews of playing the victim card because they were massacred during the Holocaust. And this is the discourse you want your kids engaging in?

I’m not clicking on that BS link. Post here the exact language where she herself says Israel is “playing the victim” because of the Holocaust or denies that it occurred?

Arlnow? NYPost?

Not PP. So not racist, anti-Semitic.

You can applaud her when she’s protesting on the streets but not in the public school classroom.

The level of anti-semitisn on this board is literally insane.

Imagine trying to defend a high school teacher who asked students to analyze the extent to which black students play the victim card due to their race of people having been subjected to slavery or more recently—Jim Crow laws!
Y’all would be instantly picketing to have that teacher removed. Full stop.
Because the FACT of their victimhood is and was real. And the long lasting effects are real.

Israel is literally the ONLY Jewish state. Period.
So the fact that you want to pretend it’s “just a critique of the government “ is not only insane, but it’s dangerous.

I never said she denied the Holocaust. She denied the victimhood of the Jewish people. You really need to examine your own bias if you think this is even remotely acceptable.
