San Diego Teachers' Union Passes Resolution That Rejects Israel's Legitimacy
[Free Beacon] The San Diego chapter of the American Federation of Teachers passed a resolution this month rejecting Israel’s legitimacy as a country and accusing the Israeli government of carrying out ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and war crimes against Palestinians.

In the resolution, AFT Guild Local 1931, which represents community college teachers in San Diego, refers to Israel as "historic Palestine" and calls on the Biden administration to "hold Israel accountable for its complete disregard of international law" and implement a "prompt reassessment of military aid to Israel."

The statement does not mention Palestinian terrorism. It argues that Israel’s "indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip has claimed a significantly greater and disproportionate number of Palestinian lives and destroyed essential infrastructure in the already oppressed occupied territories."

The resolution comes as hate crimes against Jewish Americans are on the rise and progressives across the United States ramp up a campaign of delegitimization and economic pressure against Israel. On Tuesday, House Democratic leadership removed funding for Israel’s missile defense shield from its spending bill, in response to protests from progressive lawmakers.

#2 The Union clearly has delusions of grandeur to think their opinion matters.

#3 iirc after SCOTUS, no one is forced to join the unions or forced to pay dues. If that is so, then what you are seeing is the remains of said organization after the departures. They no longer have 'cover' for their political existence.

#4 Odd that the union local considers itself a 'Guild'. That would imply that they're actually competent.

#5 Its cute how they think anyone is interested in their opinions on the matter. Hell, we barely pay any attention to their opinions on teaching, their alleged area of expertise.

#6  iirc after SCOTUS, no one is forced to join the unions or forced to pay dues.

I thought hat to be a matter for the state courts to decide, but I could be wrong.

#7 Do we see a pattern here? Marxism is the FBI, DHS, FAA, unions.

#8 I wish I could share your belief that teachers' opinions don't matter. Teachers and their unions are an extremely destructive force in this state.

#9 This guild represents community college teachers? They waste two years for everybody who attends because nobody learns anything useful there. It's like another two years of high school which is pretty much a waste of time as well. Students attend community college because they need the credits to go on to upper division courses at the four-year colleges where they believe they might finally learn something useful. But the time is worse than wasted if this is the kind of crap they're teaching. Communist brainwashing is more like it.

#11 hold Israel accountable for its complete disregard of international law

Apparently, the only two nations that can violate international law are Israel and the US. Funny how that works.

#13 #12 Our local officials have bragged how we are in great shape with water supply for next few years because we raised San Vincie Dam and increased our water supply.
