[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the immediate assumptions that some of you are making that the 7yo read a poem a out jihad reeks of Islamophobia. You really need to reflect on the way your minds jump to such hateful and ignorant conclusions. It is disgusting and dehumanizing.[/quote]

Well the facts we have are that the kid and parent read from a poem. We are not being told what the poem is. The CAIR official bringing this was punished for her own antisemitic comments [/quote]

What does that have to do with jihad?[/quote] let’s say it isn’t but it is about lamenting the nakba or something like that. Do you think it’s appropriate for an international night that people expressing upset at the existence of another country? What if a parent or child there is from that country?[/quote]

Lamenting the nakba (something that was flat out wrongly denied for a generation) is different from being upset about the existence of a country. [/quote]

+1, and I actually strongly suspect the poem was something along these lines (I'm the PP who said it was likely something about lost olive groves or something). The problem is that Palestinians have been subjected to so much dehumanization that even acknowledging that they, as a group, also suffered a trauma, is experienced by some folks as offensive.

It's a real shame, because at the heart of this story is a very young child who presumably thought he could share his culture with his classmates. I feel for him. [/quote]
