You can't deny what you see... Israel is acting just like Hitler did.

I am a former AFT member. My membership ended in 2019 when my position with a local ISD was outsourced to an education contract company.
I support the demand that the United States end all military aid to Israel.

All military and humanitarian charity to israel should have ended before it started as in way back in 1947 when the allies gave land to the Khazarians deadly viral strain strands who are not descendents of Abraham have no covenant to be kept and no right to any part of the land of Canaan.

That's great! Hope the local signs onto this open letter, which places responsibility for making this policy change in the hands of the Executive Council, where our constitution says it belongs. Several people on the Exec Council now lead locals that are pledged to social justice. I think they need to represent their locals in what they say and do on the Executive Council. Yes to an arms embargo now!

The number of deaths in Gaza is much higher according to the Lancet. Estimate is close to 300,000.

The Boston Teachers Union (AFT Local 66) passed a resolution in November 2024 that adds the BTU to Labor Network for Ceasefire's letter to President Biden calling on him to halt the shipment of arms to Israel. The resolution also calls on AFT National to do the same. Our membership passed this resolution overwhelmingly. Our membership is sickened by the ongoing genocide, scholasticide, medicide, and ecocide that Israel is committing on Gaza with US tax dollars. We need an arms embargo now!

It's past time that the AFT speaks out against genocide! This is the least we can do!

How can an organization dedicated to providing learning opportunities stand by while a genocide is taking place? What kind of lesson is being taught?
