vengo de verla: debería ser obligatoria para todos los q dicen abogar x "2 estados" (mandatarios, legisladores, diplomáticos), clientes de Ind Rafael. Como Kubrick en La naranja mecánica, encerraría en 1 sala de proyección a los del escudo de las Américas sin derecho al parpadeo
The Bell report on antisemitism in schools is just the latest example of manipulation of statistics to spread alarm and fear. The claim Jewish people are 9x more likely than Muslims to suffer hate crime is also untrue.
My latest for Double Down Newswatch.

I'm not going to name the school, but the @BBC's coverage of the antisemitism in schools report featured interviews with children from a Jewish school.
Here's the rub, though.
The school's own published curriculum explicitly teaches Zionism, celebrates the establishment of Israel and describes preparing pupils to become "positive advocates for Israel" at university.
It even references bringing in organisations such as StandWithUs to prepare pupils for that advocacy.
Now, let me be absolutely clear. There is nothing wrong with teaching Jewish history, culture or identity. And antisemitism must be challenged wherever it exists.
But when children are actively encouraged to advocate for a particular state, rather than critically examine its history, policies and actions, surely we have to question whether this is education or ideological conditioning?
And here's the staggering hypocrisy.
We're being told that schools must exercise political impartiality when discussing Palestine, while a school can openly describe preparing children to advocate for Israel.
Political impartiality cannot be a principle applied selectively, depending on which side of a conflict children are encouraged to support.
And the BBC has a responsibility to scrutinise that distinction, not simply present children's views without examining the educational environment in which those views have developed.
Children deserve an education that teaches them how to think, not what to think.

🚨 PLEASE SHARE!
I've written to both my children's schools following the Government's antisemitism review.
I WILL NOT accept genocide being presented as a two-sided political debate, or Palestinian history and suffering being erased from their education.
I've drafted a template which I'm sharing for other parents to use or adapt.
Political impartiality must NEVER become historical dishonesty.
Please use them. Challenge your schools. Demand answers.

Pep Guardiola @PepTeam is taking his solidarity with Palestine a step further, promoting the BDS Europe Conference in Barcelona and stressing the importance of condemning apartheid and those complicit in it.
Pure commitment to the cause!
La dignidad del pueblo palestino no puede quedar fuera de las puertas de San Lázaro. Como presidente del Grupo de Amistad México-Palestina, rechazo que se utilicen espacios de la @Mx_Diputados para entregar reconocimientos a la Embajada de Israel mientras el pueblo palestino enfrenta devastación y desplazamiento forzado. Quienes promovieron este acto deben explicar sus decisiones: el prestigio del Poder Legislativo no puede ponerse al servicio del blanqueamiento político de las acciones del Gobierno israelí.
Nuestra solidaridad con Palestina exige congruencia y decisiones políticas. Exigimos respeto a los principios que México debe defender frente al mundo: la paz, los derechos humanos y la autodeterminación de los pueblos. Ningún reconocimiento borra el sufrimiento de Palestina ni cancela su derecho a vivir con libertad, soberanía y justicia.
¡Viva Palestina, pero viva Palestina libre!
The commander of the Israeli military unit likely responsible for killing 5-year-old Hind Rajab is currently in the U.S.
As a party to the Genocide Convention and the Geneva Conventions, our government is obligated to arrest and investigate him for these war crimes and acts of genocide. I stand with @HindRFoundation in calling on the DOJ to follow the law and take action.
Since yesterday, Israel brutally murdered four children in Gaza violating the ongoing so-called ceasefire again & again.
2 slaughtered in a drone strike. The other 2 were shot dead by Israeli forces who constantly & arbitrarily fire at homes & tents.
