Insist that school link Hamas’ terror against Israel to that democracy’s ‘genocide’ in Gaza
Muslim activists in Washington state are demanding to control a school’s messaging to students, insisting that officials, when they mention the October 7 terror attack by Hamas thugs on Israeli civilians in which 1,200 were slaughtered and hundreds more kidnapped, the tragedy be linked to Israel’s so-called “genocide” against Gaza residents.
In fact, Israel’s military responded to the war-like attack by Hamas three year ago and strategically took out terror threats throughout Gaza, including those coming from bunkers hidden underneath schools and residential areas.
It is the RAIR Foundation that has reported on the agenda of the Washington chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose national organization has been designated a terror group by several states.
The report cited the preparations by Kelly Aramaki, superintendent of the Bellevue School District, as this year’s third anniversary of the Hamas terrorism approached.
She said that the district would follow the law in allowing speech to be expressed on campus, but it also would maintain a safe environment for students and employees.
She cited a reported “walkout” by students and said those leaving without permission would get unexcused absences and explained, “We remain steadfast in our commitment to confronting antisemitism in all its forms, responding promptly when it occurs, and ensuring that Jewish students, staff, and families experience safety, belonging, and respect. By honoring our students’ deeply held perspectives while encouraging them to consider how their words and actions may affect others, we can uphold the dignity of every member of our community and ensure all students are valued and supported.”
