A PSA from one teacher to others. Stop posting about how great you are and remember that it is all about the Ss. It’s not about you. Let’s keep the focus where it belongs and help our Ss build an excellent future. #onted
The new antisemitism includes individuals and organizations using “Jews of convenience” in order to promote a distorted view of Jewish voice. Sometimes if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it’s really a large pile of bull. #jewhate#endjewhatred#antisemitism
Sweden takes over the IHRA Presidency today, honoring a commitment to counter the forces that threaten democracy and human rights, says @SwedishPM Magdalena Andersson.
Let’s be clear. If you think that you represent the voice of the Jewish people against antisemitism because you learned a few catchphrases, you don’t. It’s a fight for our rights, not a popularity contest. #jewhate#endjewhatred#antisemitism
@VidyaShah6 @YRDSB@CIJAinfo@bnaibrithcanada@CanadianFSWC@jaimekr@nshack@LevittMichael@Studentz1st You’re right. There won’t be a shared understanding because my understanding is based on first hand experience. The Palestinian people deserve to the right to live in freedom. Someone should share that with their dictatorial terrorist government.
@VidyaShah6 @YRDSB It’s quite telling that you presume to tell me what is & isn’t antisemitism while you present a false narrative of Israel as colonists. If you’re interested in engaging in honest conversation, let me know. @CIJAinfo@bnaibrithcanada@CanadianFSWC@jaimekr@nshack@LevittMichael
6/ Most dangerously, those who are against Judaism use these individuals as “experts” to justify antisemitic policies and behaviours. It seems that the new aphorism should be “The only good Jew is a compliant Jew.”
1/ Antisemitism is on the rise and we need to address it immediately and decisively. We are seeing manifestations in classrooms as we recently saw through acknowledgements by TDSB and we are not seeing incidents hidden by other school boards.
5/ Instead of speaking out against Antisemitism, they prioritize the interests of other faiths, cultures, etc. in fear of not being part of the social justice movement and they manipulate the teachings of Judaism to justify their actions.
@VidyaShah6 @YRDSB You forgot grandstanding, what you’re doing. You’re using a photo to imply a trustee’s racist when there’s no indication of such. It’s not like she’s endorsing calls for terrorist acts against Jews or promoting racist reports calling for the destruction of the Jewish homeland.

Dealing with my own PTSD is nothing to be ashamed about. Anyone who has a mental health issue and is afraid to seek treatment due to stigmatism, remember that you have to take care of yourself first. If others don't approve or seek to understand, well (you can get creative here).
