[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][Quote]You read that article and your takeaway was “lol those pushy parents were probably lying because of reasons I will not specify”?? [/Quote]

Oh, but I did specify. One of the commenters, presumably another parent at the school, claims that the parents accosted and harshly spoke to a child they believed was bullying their daughter.

Parents disciplining or bullying a child not their own is unacceptable behavior in most private school cultures. That alone would have been cause to expel the family.

…“Mr. Nysmith replied that he had [b]cancelled the annual Holocaust program speaker[/b] because of his concern that the event might inflame emotions within the Nysmith School community in light of the Israel-Gaza conflict.” [/quote]

No, my heart didn’t break. The annual speaker had died. Having a speaker is not an entitlement.

Suggesting the Holocaust has nothing to do with Israel is disingenuous. Zionist Jews cite the Holocaust as the reason why Israel is justified in taking whatever measures it needs to defend its existence, including bombing and starving civilians.

If Jews don’t want the Holocaust connected to Israel they should stop using it as justification for Israel’s horrific acts of war against civilians.

There are Jews with specific beliefs about Israel’s right to violence, so don’t bother claiming I’m anti-Semitic. I’m anti-war crimes. I believe Israel has the right to exist. I don’t believe Israel has the right to kill indiscriminately.

Not all Jews support Netanyahu’s war crimes. Some see Palestinians as human beings and are doing what they can to stop Netanyahu.

Few would deny that Hamas’ October 7 attacks were horrific and demanded a response. Killing 50,000+ civilians and condemning thousands more to a slow, painful death through starvation is not a proportionate or effective response. [/quote]

Ugh yeah those “entitled” Jews, always insisting on….[checks notes] Holocaust education.

“Don’t bother claiming I’m antisemitic” lol ok bro. If you’re not antisemitic (you 1000% are), you’re dumb as rocks. We shouldn’t educate kids about the holocaust bc “Zionists” “use it as justification”? Pretty sure you just demonstrated succinctly why we DO need Holocaust education. Also, Zionists cite Judaism as part of the founding ethos of the state. Should we ban Judaism too? Just f all Jews everywhere, right? Hamas cites the “Nakba” as justification for their butchery. Should we not teach kids what happened in 1948? ISIS claims to be carrying out the dictates of the Koran. “If Muslims don’t want the Koran connected to terrorism they should stop using it as justification for terrorists horrific acts of murder against civilians.” See how that sounds?

JFC. People feel comfortable saying sh*t about Jews they would NEVER, in a MILLION YEARS dream about saying about other minorities. Disgusting antisemitism on open display and you have the gall to ask people not to call you an antisemite.[/quote]

I haven't been to the Holocaust Museum in years.  However, I recall how depressingly impressive it was.  Everyone should go.
But, I don't know if they still do this, at the end of the tour they had videos of soldiers who liberated the camps.  They gave witness --outside witness--to the horror of the Holocaust.  My DH found it brilliant that they ended the tour with this because it proved how it was real and that it really did happen.

A very few of the soldiers who witnessed this are still alive.  I heard one speak recently.  Through all his experiences of the war--including the Battle of the Bulge, this was the defining moment and what made the war worth fighting.

As for Mr. Nysmith.  he needs a little common sense.  Maybe those parents could use it, too.  I wasn't there and I don't know.  I do know that they might not  have been aware for quite a while because kids do not always share their bullying experiences.[/quote]

Yes, they still have that, along with direct quotations from General Eisenhower.[/quote]
