Muslim parents who spoke to The Rover say that when they questioned the EMSB’s apparent support for Israel in conversations with elected commissioners or staff, they were either ignored or told they supported terrorism.
“I wasn’t called antisemitic, but an elected councillor at the EMSB told people I’m a supporter of (deceased Hamas leader) Yahya Sinwar,” said one parent and volunteer at the school board. She did not want her name published for fear of reprisals. “Technically, he didn’t attack my character. He could easily say he was joking.”
Councillor Julien Feldman was suspended by the school board’s ethics commissioner last month for falsely associating a mother of three EMSB students with antisemitism and derisively referring to her as “Ms. Gaza.” Without consulting parents or teachers, the elected council voted to absolve Feldman of wrongdoing last month in a vote that wasn’t included on the agenda circulated to the community ahead of the meeting.
“There appears to be, at the very least, some sort of anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian bias at the EMSB,” said another Muslim parent. “The treatment reserved for people who support Palestine versus those who support Israel, it’s like there are two sets of rules.”
Israel is treating the Palestinian people the way hitler treated them and it is not any more OK than it was then.
Fuck israel
Isreal can suck a pigs dick.
Nah, it’s the pig sucking Israel’s dick at the moment
I truly cannot understand why Israel make people lose their minds. Replace “Israel” with “China”, for example, and no one would beat an eye.
It’s historical, mostly. They’re still capitalizing on the treatment of European Jews by the Nazis during WWII, even as the generation old enough to have been direct victims of those atrocities dies off (the youngest would be in their 80s now).
Powerful lobbying across the global diaspora. China is desperately trying to do the same, but it’s primary focus is on negative transnational repression and not “positive” lobbying by Hollywood, Wall St and countless other domestic industries.
First time hearing The Rover. That article is packed with information while not inciting hatred or disgust. That was an enjoyable read!
Fuck Israel. Holy shit.
“Technically, he didn’t attack my character. He could easily say he was joking"
Every time one if these fuckers says something that they say is “just a joke” need to have it used on them. Call them pedos, or rapists, or Trump sucker. Its just a joke right?
