Uri Pilicowski opined in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.timesofisrael.com\/the-danger-of-a-palestinian-state\/\">The Times of Israel<\/a> in May 2020, \u201cAs it\u2019s currently managed, a Palestinian Authority administered Palestinian State would pose a danger to Israel\u2019s security. A government that promotes and turns a blind eye to terror can not be entrusted to run a state. A Palestinian government would have to include Hamas, a terrorist entity that vows to destroy Israel. This would make a Palestinian state a terror organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Business Item #29 <a href=\"https:\/\/ra.nea.org\/business-item\/2021-nbi-029\/\">states<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p><em>The NEA will publicize its support for the Palestinian struggle for justice and call on the United States government to stop arming and supporting Israel and Saudi Arabia. \u2026 The Arab population of Palestine has again risen up in a heroic struggle against military repression and \u201cethnic cleansing\u201d by the Israeli state and extreme nationalist forces in Israeli society.

The NEA\u2019s inflammatory and divisive fixation on political issues is further proof that the education of America\u2019s students isn\u2019t a priority for the union. My heart goes out to the Jewish members of the NEA whose union dues are being used to promote anti-Semitic lies about Jews and Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeachers\u2019 unions across the country have come out against Israel and Jews in recent months. Three local unions affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, the country\u2019s second-largest teachers\u2019 union, passed statements in June condemning Israel as an apartheid state. Federation president Randi Weingarten criticized&nbsp;Jews as being \u2018part of the ownership class\u2019 dedicated to denying opportunities to others in an interview earlier this year,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/nations-largest-teachers-union-will-debate-resolution-accusing-israel-of-ethnic-cleansing\/\">The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jta.org\/2021\/04\/01\/opinion\/randi-weingarten-has-a-vision-to-get-kids-back-to-school-and-strong-words-for-jews-who-say-unions-are-the-obstacle\">Jewish Telegraphic Agency<\/a> in April, Weingarten ripped into Jews who criticized teachers\u2019 unions for impeding the return of children to public schools. She snapped:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p><em>American Jews are now part of the ownership class. Jews were immigrants from somewhere else. And they needed the right to have public education. And they needed power to have enough income and wealth for their families that they could put their kids through college and their kids could do better than they have done. Both economic opportunity through the labor movement and an educational opportunity through public education were key for Jews to go from the working class to the ownership class.&nbsp;What I hear when I hear that question is that those who are in the ownership class now want to take that ladder of opportunity away from those who do not have it.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
