The Oakland Education Association created a massive rift after putting out what many see as an inflammatory anti-Israel statement that angered teachers who didn't agree with the message and made many Jewish community members feel upset and scared.

A teacher at Montera Middle School in Oakland, for example, had a poster hanging in the classroom that reads: "From the River to the Sea. Palestine Will be Set Free."


Odd that Jewish Americans have been so long leaders in leftist politics

“We should be focused on keeping our students and staff safe and providing an excellent education for all students.”

For those wondering what ‘safe’ means in this context, it means cutting the balls off of little boys and only telling their parents later.

Do people expect statements from schools and local governments for that matter? I certainly don’t. I really don’t give a crap what teachers feel. They need to stop their damn grooming and political indoctrination and teach the three R’s.

To ALL, let’s get this Freepathon over before Thanksgiving and double the contributions. Robinson family needs help due to health issues.

They have a brain.

Half of the left identifies with the Jews, the other half hates Jews. It’s gonna make for an interesting dynamic heading into 2024. Personally, I think there will be two kinds of fallout from the conflict in Israel:

1) The aforementioned Jewish love-hate relationship in the progressive left is going to rip its fabric wide open

2) Wokism (cultural marxism) will be exposed for the insane “luxury ideology” that it is; it will progressively (no pun intended) fall into disfavor. Reality is rearing its ugly head!

But that’s just my 2c. Your mileage may vary.

Not odd. True to nature, and it would be odd if it weren’t so.

Figured out politics when I was in the 7th grade when I was watching William F. Buckley on Firing Line.

Was watching him on the basement TV.

My Dad came down one night and said “What and the heck are you watching?”

After that he sat with me to watch Buckley for years.

The Progressive Left is fully behind and supporting the Islamic extermination of the Jewish people. In reality, much of this has been part of prophecy. All the world will be against Israel in a final conflict. The US is being undermined, and the federal government is controlled by the Left. It’s only a matter of time before the Feds back down and give in to the Fascism of the progressive Left. We are in the Last Days, folks, make no mistake about it. The religion of the Anti-Christ is Islam. They are going to force Russia into the Middle East, and a nuclear exchange is only months away. I am the bearer of bad news, I am sorry

MARXIST Oakland! What did you expect from them, sanity?

Just look at who their officials have been for the past 60 years, including in Congress, and you’ll understand what is going on there.

“The Israeli government created an apartheid state”

The whites running South Africa eventually surrendered to the ANC (communists) after being excluded from the world for its apartheid state. The left hopes Israel will commit suicide by being labeled an apartheid state too.

“Palestine will be free from the river to the sea”

only rhymes in English, so it’s racist. Oh, wait. It rhymes in Arabic, too.

فلسطين ستتحرر من النهر إلى البحر

I guess they really are series.

Have you noticed that the precious, thumb sucking college snowflakes who feared microaggressions, needed a special, stress-free room, coloring books and trigger counseling are suddenly rioting for Hamas.
