NYC teachers getting anti-Israel literature in DOE schools

Hateful anti-Israel propaganda has slipped into city Department of Education literature and schools at least five times in the past two months, The Post has learned. In the latest instance, faculty members at a large Brooklyn elementary/middle school received an email Monday with the subject line: 'How Much Jewish Wealth From The Black Slave Trade Was Used To Help Create Israel?' Among a dozen links to inflammatory texts, the email includes several articles branding Jews as former slave owners; a piece by Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakahn claiming 'Jewish behavior has ill-affected Black people and others;' and a Palestinian children's workbook decrying 'bullies called Zionists.' 4 Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos has vowed to crack down on dissemination of 'politically one-sided materials deeply offensive to the Jewish community.' Andrew Schwartz / 'It's clearly an attack,' a Jewish teacher who received the diatribe in her DOE email told The Post. The incident is evidence of rising antisemitism in NYC schools and other educational institutions since the Israeli-Hamas war began on Oct. 7, 2023, experts say. The emails came from think.285@ an encrypted account hiding the sender's identity. The teacher asked that she and her 'amazing' school, which she described as close-knit and harmonious, not be named. 'There was never an issue with antisemitism — not once,' she told The Post, adding she wears a Star of David at work. 'It wouldn't be fair to drop such a stain on the school. I would put my last penny on the fact that I don't think it's a person from the school' who sent the offensive missive. 4 The links to antisemitic literature in an email sent to Brooklyn teachers include a Palestinian children's handbook that refers to 'bullies called Zionists.' Obtained by the New York Post Like many other NYC schools, the Brooklyn school posts its teachers' DOE email addresses on a public website. Two assistant principals were 'horrified' by the cyber stealth, but the teacher has not discussed the emails with the principal — who did not address them with staff. It's the latest in a series of anti-Israel attacks popping up in DOE communications. In early April, schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos apologized after a 17-page 'Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit' was linked in a newsletter sent to teachers and parents. 4 Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos apologized in early April after a 17-page 'Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit' was linked in a newsletter sent to teachers and parents. Weeks later, a 'Teacher Career Pathways' newsletter for master teachers in the city's 1,800 schools called for student voices to be heard on the 'genocide in Gaza.' In a DOE crackdown on 'politically one-sided materials that are deeply offensive to the Jewish community' being disseminated, Aviles-Ramos halted the release of mass communications sent to educators, students and parents without her approval. At the same time, an anti-Israel group, the Labor for Palestine Network, sent an email blast to city teachers on their DOE accounts calling for a May Day strike and other 'civil disobedience' to protest the Gaza war. The DOE said it would investigate. Last month, a flyer distributed in several Manhattan schools urged teachers voting in their union elections to back a campaign to divest pension funds from Israel. 4 Elias Rodriguez, 31 of Chicago, is charged in the May 21 murders of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington, D.C. Katie Kalisher via Storyful The flyers came after the cold-blooded murder of two young Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. by a gunman who yelled, 'Free Palestine.' The United Federation of Teachers disavowed the flyers. The DOE said it removed them from schools. Karen Feldman, a middle-school teacher and Holocaust educator studying the rise of antisemitism in NYC public schools, said the mounting incidents 'point to a systemic issue.' 'We must all demand stronger oversight and safeguards to ensure public institutions do not become platforms for hate,' she said. Asked whether the Brooklyn school had reported the emails, a DOE spokeswoman said, 'We are investigating this matter and will address it as appropriate with disciplinary action, community engagement, and educational intervention.' Officials said the DOE has identified who sent previous anti-Israel emails, but would not elaborate on 'personnel matters.'

Houthis Vow "Hot Summer" As Israel's National Airline Added To Target List

President of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, has warned Israel of a 'hot summer' ahead, as the militant group allied to Iran has refused to halt its missile fire on Israel in relation to the ongoing Gaza war. Israeli airstrikes earlier this week took out the last remaining planes operated by national carrier Yemenia Airways at Sanaa international airport. The airport is completely demolished after multiple rounds of Israeli attacks, and with runways blown to pieces. Israel has stressed this is direct retaliation for Houthi missiles which have repeatedly targeted Ben Gurion International Airport, including a ballistic missile which was sent – and intercepted – on Thursday. 'The upcoming operations will differ in quantity and quality from previous operations carried out deep inside the Israeli entity,' Yemeni sources were quoted in a regional publication as saying. The new statement warned that this 'will include Israeli civilian aircraft on the target list' – meaning that main national carrier El Al Israel Airlines will be targeted, per Lebanon's Al-Akhbar. Thursday night saw the Houthi military spokesman boast that a missile sent against Ben Gurion airport caused 'millions of usurping Zionists to rush to shelters and bringing the airport to a standstill.' Israeli media has described while confirming the intercept over or near Tel Aviv, 'Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 42 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.' One of the Houthis' rare 'successes' was the direct impact of one of the missiles on Ben Gurion airport in early May, which injured several people fleeing the scene. The below is the full translated statement of Ansarallah's Mahdi al-Mashat warning Israel of a 'hot summer' ahead: 'The government of the filthy Netanyahu is unable to protect you, and the coming surprises are painful. To the Zionist herds: You should wait for a hot summer. I say to all companies that continue to arrive at the Ben Gurion Airport … that they are at risk at any moment. I call on all travelers around the world to avoid traveling with companies that continue to fly [there], as they are subject to our sanctions and are not safe,' he said. What's become clear in the wake of Trump's declared 'ceasefire' with the Houthi's in the Red Sea as that the US Navy and CENTCOM have largely pulled back their defense support to Israel in its southern region. There were reports saying that the Pentagon was blowing through costly ammunition at an alarming pace in defense of Israel, and the decision was made to withdraw from the Red Sea theatre.

Women's Organization in Mahabisha holds rally under slogan: 'No Security for Zionist Entity… Gaza & Al-Aqsa under attack' in Hajjah

Hajjah - Saba: The Women's Organization in Mahabisha, Hajjah province, organized a solidarity stand in support of Al-Aqsa and the Palestinian people under the slogan 'No Security for the Zionist Entity… Gaza and Al-Aqsa Under Attack." During the rally held in Al-Shuja'a, participants condemned the genocidal crimes committed by the Zionists in Gaza and their ongoing desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the watch of the world. They denounced the silence of Arab and Islamic regimes and peoples in the face of the genocide and Zionist atrocities against the people of Gaza, as well as the enemy's violations against the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque. The rally reaffirmed its mandate to the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin Al-Houthi, to take appropriate measures in support of the valiant resistance in Gaza. A statement issued during the event renewed the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), declaring that the people of faith and wisdom will not remain silent in the face of repeated Jewish insults against the Noble Prophet and his holy sanctuary, Al-Aqsa. The response, it emphasized, must go beyond condemnation—calling instead for mass mobilization and readiness to confront the enemy. The statement urged the armed forces to continue military operations, missile strikes, drone attacks, and general mobilization, as well as economic boycotts of the enemies, as forms of jihad in the path of Allah. It also called on the peoples of the Ummah to take action within their means, stressing that no one is weaker or in a worse situation than Gaza, which continues to resist the most ruthless empire of evil—backed by America, the infidel West, and global Zionism—without surrender.
