UDL is not a pedagogy - it's a way of life. If you see value in every human being, you universally design your life... to include all.

WHAT WE GIVE ISRAEL

The standard US military aid package is $3.8 billion per year $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing plus $500 million for joint missile defense programs. Israel must spend most of this on US-made products and services, and by 2028 essentially all of it must be spent in America.

WHAT ISRAEL GIVES BACK

1. F-35 R&D Savings: 55 billion
Israel resolved multiple technical issues during the F-35’s early development, reducing US R&D costs by an estimated $55 billion and accelerating deployment timelines.  The total F-35 program cost was $55 billion in R&D Israel’s combat testing effectively saved the US from having to discover and fix those problems on their own dime.

2. Intelligence Value: equivalent to 5 CIAs (75 billion/year)

General George Keegan, former Chief of US Air Force Intelligence, stated that Israel’s intel value equals “5 CIAs” providing a 400% return on investment on the $3.8 billion aid package. One CIA budget runs approximately $15 billion.  Five times that equals roughly $75 billion worth of intelligence annually for $3.8 billion in aid.

3. Strategic Base Value: $15–20 billion/year

As stated by Admiral Elmo Zumwalt and General Alexander Haig, Israel is the largest US aircraft carrier that does not require US military personnel on board, cannot be sunk, and is deployed in a critical region sparing the US the need to manufacture, deploy, and maintain real aircraft carriers with ground divisions, which would cost the US $15–20 billion annually. 

4. F-35 Export Multiplier: $40 billion in sales, $173 billion backlog
Israel’s battle-tested performance and upgrades to the F-35 contribute to $40 billion in US exports and a $173 billion backlog for US industry.  Israel essentially serves as the world’s most credible advertisement for American weapons.

5. Jobs and Economic Output: 255,000 jobs, $72 billion annually
The F-35 economic engine alone supports 290,000 US employees and $72 billion in annual economic output.  Israeli stakeholders hold contracts with over 1,000 American companies across 48 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.

Why do people need to lie about this?

Because they have nefarious reasons.

There’s no other reason to lie about this stuff.

@MarkJCarney Canada is LOSING good people because of Mark Carney.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

Reminder: Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad openly vowed to violate any future ceasefire and repeat the October 7 massacre over and over until Israel is wiped off the map and the Jews disappear.

British PM Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian PM Mark Carney, and Australian PM Anthony Albanese rewarded Hamas by recognizing “Palestine.” They motivated the Muslim terrorists in Gaza to continue raping and murdering Jews.

The globalist leaders of Western nations did not recognize Palestine for peace. These demonic politicians exploited the war in the Middle East to win Muslim votes.

[Educators for Israel (JewTLA) @JewTLA]

Last night, at an official UTLA House of Representatives meeting, 160 credentialed teachers — the people who teach your children — spent thirty minutes denouncing me by name, declared that Zionism is racism, and then voted to expel me. I never said a single word the entire meeting.

For two hours I sat silently as an observer, which is my right as a union member in good standing. Then someone noticed I was there. What followed was half an hour of teachers explaining how terrible I am, how Zionism is racism, and how I had personally tried to get them fired — stories I don’t recognize and that anyone who knows how schools work would find laughable.

Then they voted out the only Orthodox Jew in the room.

No charges. No process. No hearing. Just organized hostility, a vote, and a gavel.

I’ve been doing antisemitism accountability work in K-12 education for years. I file complaints. I document. I publish. I name names. Apparently my silent presence on a Zoom call is a five-alarm emergency.

I want to be clear about what happened: a union used official meeting time to conduct a public denunciation of a Jewish advocate, then expelled her for the crime of showing up and saying nothing.

I’ve been kicked out of better places.

But I’ve never been more certain the work is landing.

Karina Pritika dreamed of competing in the Olympics.

On October 7, she was forced to her knees, begged for her life, and was executed at point-blank range by a Palestinian civilian with an AK-47.

3. Property and Pillage: Covers large-scale destruction and appropriation of property without military necessity, as well as looting.
- Hamas destroyed the kibbutzim, and have fired more than 40,000 rockets at Israeli civilian targets before Oct. 7th, never mind since. They booby trapped buildings, built tunnels under schools and hospitals, and fired rockets from residential areas knowing Israel would target the source of the rockets. Who committed war crimes?

[Jennifer Katz @3BlockModelUDL]

2. Conduct of Hostilities: Involves attacks on civilians, protected sites (hospitals, monuments), using poisoned or forbidden weapons, killing surrendered soldiers (perfidy), and recruiting child soldiers.
-it is well documented Hamas uses child soldiers and children as shields. They attacked the Kibbutzim, which are communes of peace lovers, and a music festival of kids dancing. They slaughtered babies, people with disabilities, and the elderly. Who committed war crimes?

[Jennifer Katz @3BlockModelUDL]

1. Who are you accusing of being war criminals?

Are there a few IDF soldiers who have committed crimes? undoubtedly - there are in every army.

Has Israel's gov't, and the IDF in general? No.

As someone who worked in greenline programs bringing Palestinian and Israeli children together, taught Palestinian teachers special education, and have lost friends in both Gaza and Israel, I am not anti-Palestinian, and I protested Netanyahu and the settlements in the 90's, before most people even knew they existed.
But your beliefs about war crimes are nonsense. War crimes include:
1. Offenses Against Persons - Includes willful killing, torture, hostage-taking, sexual violence (rape, slavery), outrages on personal dignity, and unlawful confinement or transfer.
- Hamas raped, tortured, and murdered the Israelis who were the biggest peaceniks of all. They burned entire families alive, mutilated women, and have taken sex slaves from Druze and Yazidi communities as well. They held hostages for 2 years and sexually abused them. Who committed war crimes?

You just proved you live in the basement and have never met a Jew. So let's take you to kindergarten:
1. Jews in Canada don't vote in Israeli elections. If you blame them for Gaza, why aren't you harassing Russians for what Putin is doing? How about Nigerians for what Boko Haram is doing?
2. Netanyahu's government is a MINORITY government. More than 50% of Israelis DID NOT vote for him. So even Jews in Israel don't all support him, let alone Jews in Canada.
Jews in Canada have never caused problems for Canadians.
No mass shootings, no bombings, no threats, no violence.
We don't block traffic or try to tell people how to dress. Neither do most Muslims.
At some point you "propal" idiots, who don't actually care about Palestinians, will realize Hamas are their oppressors, and you all got paid by evil for evil.

[Jennifer Katz @3BlockModelUDL]

I'm not dismissing the experience of the 85% - I'm putting the blame where it belongs - on Hamas.

What have you done for the Palestinian people?
I protested Netanyahu and the settlements in the 90s, ran childrens' programs, and taught special ed.

You?

Tell me about all the good you've done, besides spreading hate that does absolutely nothing to help the Palestinian people.

Try imagining being her. Why are ten men dragging a girl into a field and then throwing her on the ground? https://t.co/bChGegZkDQ

If you ask me whether I support the Palestinian people, I would say yes. If you asked me whether I support Israel, I would say yes. They're not mutually exclusive when you realize the real problem is the Jihadi movement, and Hamas in this case. They kill Gazans and Israelis.
The Taliban oppresses Afghans,
Hezbollah oppresses Lebanese Maronite Christians and Druze, Boko Haram kidnaps girls and turns them into sex slaves and slaughters Christians in Nigeria -
and none have been "occupied" or "oppressed."

Hamas is not resistance.

Israel is a tiny piece of land that can be driven across in 45 minutes. It's surrounded by 52 Arab countries, and has been invaded and attacked by multiple armies simultaneously and repeatedly since 1948.

Rockets fly every night.
Israeli children grow up being woken in the middle of the night and rushed to safe rooms.
Israeli parents know their children's reward for graduating from high school will be two years of service in the IDF, where they will stand in a guard shack and have rocks and molotov cocktails thrown at them by kids their own age (17/18), and be condemned for arresting them or fighting back. The IDF ARE KIDS. They are younger than the Hamas fighters they face. They've grown up terrified and told never to go near Gaza or the WB and suddenly they're being sent in there after watching their friends and families slaughtered.

Hamas straps bombs to women and children, so a 17 yr old IDF soldier who sees a woman or child walking towards them has to wonder if they are coming to blow themselves up. Even when their own hostages walked toward them they shot and killed them - they are traumatized kids.

Let's be fair.
Imagine you're the leader of Israel Oct. 8th. Hamas swears they will repeat Oct. 7th 10,000 times. You know Hamas is the only army in the world that puts themselves in the bomb shelters and leaves the women and children above ground. They WANT you to kill them, so they can demonize you. They've convinced the population it's good to be "martyrs." Yaya Sinwar comes out and says he wants 100,000 Gazans to die so the world will hate Israel.

You have a devil's choice. Do nothing, knowing they will come and rape and kill your women and children again, or go after them, knowing you will have to go through their women and children to get to them. So what do you do?

You drop leaflets telling the civilians where you'll bomb and to move, because you want to destroy the tunnels and have to destroy the buildings above in order to do that, but don't want to kill the civilians. Except Hamas orders the residents to stay put, and shoots at them if they try to leave. My friend Sherif was killed because he was sneaking people out of bomb zones during the night. Weeks later, they killed his 87 year old mother.

Parasites?
You don’t get to dehumanize a people and then quietly depend on the world they helped build. If you’re going to be that committed to hate, at least be honest enough to live without the benefits. History doesn’t bend to bigotry.

Go ahead—opt out of what Jewish scientists, engineers, and thinkers helped build.
Skip chemotherapy (Paul Ehrlich), even if YOU get cancer.
Don't take Aspirin, ever (Arthur Eichengrün)
No Google (Page & Brin).
No Facebook/Meta (Zuckerberg).
No handheld cell phone (Martin Cooper).

Skip safe blood transfusions (Karl Landsteiner).
Skip key tuberculosis treatments (Selman Waksman). Skip modern hormone testing (Rosalyn Yalow)
Skip the birth control pill (Gregory Pincus).

And while you’re at it, ignore Einstein—just to stay consistent.

The Trump administration calls this a ceasefire. The Islamic regime in Iran targets Kuwait's civilian airport. Today, Hezbollah in Lebanon rejected the ceasefire and attacked civilians in Israel. NATO, the EU, and Starmer's Britain? Silent. Not a word.
