This new Critical Race Theory Unit introduced all over the USA, is
supposed to help students be more tolerant of each other, I was led
to believe, but it is now just creating more anti-
Semitism in California.
California, a group dedicated to the tenets of critical race theory—
and especially its most vile component, antisemitic opposition to
the Jewish state—are marketing a curriculum that viciously
maligns Israel and attacks Israel’s very reason for
being."
This statement comes from FLAME. FLAME (Facts and Logic
About the Middle East) has for over 25 years brought the
truth about Israel and the Middle East conflict to the attention
of an American public that is mostly uninformed and
misinformed about these matters. The media — both print and
broadcast — are with few exceptions biased against Israel.
Theodor Herzl was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish lawyer, journalist, playwright, political activist, and writer who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state.
The law raises a fundamental question as to whether Zionism—a
belief supporting the self-determination of the Jewish people to a
state in their indigenous homeland—is protected by the laws of our
land.
Middle East (FLAME) is a non-profit pro-Israel organization
based in San Francisco, California. It was founded by Gerardo
Joffe and began as a local chapter of the pro-Israel media
watchdog group CAMERA. By 1987 the ads, which had
appeared using the CAMERA name were now sponsored
by FLAME, an independent organization. Its stated purpose
is "the research and publication of the facts regarding
developments in the Middle East and exposing false
propaganda that might harm the interests of the United States
and its allies in that area of the world." CAMERA specialized
in monitoring and attaining corrections. Its
stated purpose is "the research and publication of the facts
regarding developments in the Middle East and exposing false
propaganda that might harm the interests of the United States
and its allies in that area of the world."
California recently passed AB 101, a statute requiring that graduates
of high school must have taken a class in ethnic studies.
After years of wrangling between citizen groups, teachers’ unions
and legislators aimed at eliminating racial bias in any such ethnic
studies curriculum, the bill was passed, which included a model
ethnic studies curriculum that assuaged most of the interest groups.
Unfortunately, the model was only offered as an example of an
acceptable curriculum—not mandated.
Unfortunately, too, one of the leading developers of ethnic
studies curricula in California—Liberated Ethnic Studies
Model Curriculum Consortium (LESMCC)—
believes the proposed model is woefully unacceptable and is
marketing a curriculum steeped in racially biased principles,
including utter disdain for Zionism and
the modern state of Israel.
An attack on Jewish diners outside a Beverly Grove restaurant by members of a pro-Palestinian caravan Tuesday night is being investigated by police as a possible hate crime. The incident, which Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Nicolas Prange said was originally reported as a large group fight, occurred shortly before 10 p.m. outside the Sushi Fumi restaurant in the 300 block of North La Cienega Boulevard. The incident was captured on video and shared with KTLA by a viewer who wished to remain anonymous. I'm using a Jewish restaurant picture.
3% of California are Jewish with 1,187,993 Jews in 2020. California has had an 82% increase of attacks on Jews according to ADL.
New York Jewish victim: 9.1% Jewish population with 1,772,420.
An Orthodox Jewish man, Josef Neumann of New York City, hacked viciously by a machete-swinging anti-Semite will likely remain brain-damaged and paralyzed for life — even if he somehow regains consciousness, his heartbroken family said Wednesday. New York is at an all time high in Jews being attacked.
Conspicuously absent from this list are Jewish
Americans and Middle Eastern Jews living in
California, especially since Jews are the targets
of more hate crimes than any other ethnic group in
California.
Even more telling, Palestinian Arabs have been—against all
geographic logic—squeezed into the AA/PI category, (Asian/Pacific American or Asian/Pacific Islander or Asian American and Pacific Islanders or Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander is a term sometimes used in the United States when including both Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.)
while Jews, the indigenous people of the same Middle
East region, are excluded.
Most egregiously, according to LESMCC’s website, its model
curriculum shamelessly asserts that “Zionism is a nationalist,
colonial ideology.” (LIBERATED ETHNIC STUDIES MODEL CURRICULUM CONSORTIUM - LESMCC)
But LESMCC’s vision is not just anti-Zionist. It is fundamentally
based in critical race theory—CRT—
which holds that race and ethnicity should be the primary distinctions in social organization and that the focus of all political action
should be on power struggles among racial, ethnic
and “marginalized” groups.
Somebody should inform LESMCC that they are
hurting Jews, who are the very people who first
helped Blacks in their rights as citizens.
