[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't condone Hamas' actions.  Israel, however, is an apartheid state.  This also started because Israel tried to evict Palestinians during Ramadan from homes they'd lived in for generations.  Israel is entitled to defend itself, but leveling huge building with no regard to the loss of civilian life is unconscionable.  Hamas is a terrorist organization and Israel violates international human rights laws with impunity.  Hamas being bad doesn't absolve Israel of its own atrocities.  In this country, any criticism of Israel is viewed as antisemetic.  This is largely why Israel continues to do things like evicting Palestinian from their homes, building settlements, and doing other things that make a two state solution difficult to achieve.  This doesn't serve Israelis or Palestinians well.[/quote]

This is entirely beside the point. Omeish’s role on the SB has absolutely nothing to do with Israel/Palestine policy and it’s not an issue that a SB member should be addressing in an official capacity. Anti-Semitic incidents at Robinson or elsewhere are deplorable.

Everyone is entitled to view Israeli policy however they want but that is not a justification for anti-semitism. American Jews are NOT Israelis or representatives of Israel. If you have questions about this I’d be happy to answer them.[/quote]

Omeish did that on her personal social media and her comments were about Israel not about Jews.  Also, where in my post did I equate American Jews to Israel or justify anti-semetism?  Disagreeing with the actions of the Israeli government doesn't make someone anti-Semitic. And, no, I don't need you to answer any questions as you seem to have a problem with reading comprehension.

That is the account she uses for official communication as a school board member.  Up until her antisemitic comments, she had a heading that said it was her school board account.[/quote]
