The American Federation of Teachers Comes Out for Hamas

Destroying the education of a generation wasn't enough for Randi Weingarten.

By Daniel Greenfield

After destroying the education of a generation of students and boosting teenage suicide rates so its members could work from home with its school lockdowns, The American Federation of Teachers was understandably lost for a sequel.

How do you top something so selfish and evil?

The answer is to come out for Hamas.

The leftist campaign to demand an end to Israeli attacks on Hamas under the guise of a ceasefire during which, as before, the Islamic terror group will be able to kill Jews, but Israel won’t be allowed to fight back, has scored with leftist unions.

The new narrowly elected DSA socialist leadership at the UAW got the autoworkers union to demand an end to Israeli attacks on Hamas. SEIU’s inclusion on the list was easy enough. And the AFT teachers’ union is among the most leftist unions around. AFT does have more Jewish members than the other unions on the list, but Jews are still very much a minority.

And the AFT is dominated by Randi Weingarten, a leftist anti-Israel activist whose social media feed is packed with wall-to-wall anti-Israel propaganda. Weingarten’s girlfriend, Sharon Kleinbaum, had a rebellion at her ‘temple’ over saying ‘kaddish’ for Hamas.

Weingarten is of Jewish ancestry, but has a history of advocating against Israel and making antisemitic remarks.

She had previously ranted that “American Jews are now part of the ownership class… who now want to take that ladder of opportunity away from those who do not have it” when asked by a Jewish journalist if unions like hers had too much power.

The Weingarten AFT call for a ceasefire is a world-class example of dishonesty even for a proposal that attempts to spin saving Hamas as a peace movement. The resolution claims to be opposed to Hamas, when its purpose is to give Hamas what it wants, and is packed with assorted nonsense about a non-Hamas government that is a fantasy that is impossible without eliminating Hamas.

Randi Weingarten, a world-class sociopathic liar, has managed to produce a document that makes saving Hamas sound like it’s anti-Hamas, and which begins with the premise that Israel has a right to defend itself in order to oppose exactly that thing.

But who else could manage to deprive children of an education for two years so that her colleagues could lay on the beach before phoning in a zoom class and pretend that she was doing it for the children?

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Weingarten one of the most dangerous figures around. And her pro-Hamas resolution proves him right.

The Public Funding of Campus Hate

The stated purpose of higher education is the search for truth and wisdom, but in recent years, the American college campus has become little more than an echo chamber where radical, far-left, ideology can be refined and then disseminated into the wider national culture. Today’s college campuses are ruled by idealogues who view the world through the Marxist categories of the oppressor and the oppressed and seek to destabilize and dismantle America in the hopes of fomenting a revolution. Backed by millions of dollars in federal and state monies, University administrators and faculty teach impressionable students that America was founded on “systemic racism,” a stain that allegedly lingers to this day. They fund Middle East Studies departments and institutes which openly propagate Jew-hatred and advocate for the destruction of Israel. They promote the racist ideology of Critical Race Theory and the sexist and unscientific doctrine of transgenderism, all while using the iron fist of bureaucracy and speech codes to eliminate all dissent.

It should therefore not be surprising that student organizations and clubs on campus have become little more than vehicles of resentment and hatred directed at our nation, at Jewish students and supporters of Israel, and at the founding principles that are supposed to buttress the universities themselves—open discourse and academic freedom.

The following report names the Top Ten Campus Hate Groups in America. These groups have openly and proudly aimed anti-Semitic libels at Jewish students and organizations. They have praised terrorists and cop-killers as heroes because the ideology of these criminals matches their own. They have endorsed racist policies and principles as a path toward achieving a more just society. They have taken it upon themselves to decide what views are allowable on publicly funded university campuses and which must be shouted down as “hate speech.”

Our aim in publishing this report is twofold. First, we hope to expose and reveal the radical hatred that the Left has woven into the fabric of our universities for all the world to see. Second, we demand that the universities named in this report launch investigations into the student organizations and groups named here, to see if their conduct violates federal and university policies. If the universities named herein refuse to take up that burden, we urge state and federal legislators to do it for them.

Our universities have become the cesspit of American society, where bad ideas and rhetoric stew, unhindered by reason, truth, or common sense, while the stench seeps out into our broader culture. Student organizations on campus play a key role in repackaging and rehabilitating failed philosophies like Marxism, Jew hatred, and racism as the shining path to a better future. We must expose and confront the radical ideologies and hatreds simmering within these collegiate organizations to impede their spread beyond the ivory tower.
