School speech pathologist fired for refusing to sign Israel oath

[laughing dog]

Let me get this straight. That Texas School District expects prospective contractors and workers to essentially avoid or not emulate BDS but not the Nazi party.

Huh.

So where are all the Free Speech Warriors complaining about how this woman's freedom of speech has been viola[ent]hellip[/ent]

Oh.

That's right.

For Free Speech Warriors, freedom of speech only counts as freedom of speech when it's used to defend white supremacists, Nazis, and the like. Therefore, this doesn't count as a freedom of speech issue. Only people with certain opinions deserve freedom of speech, I guess. Although they keep throwing that word around, I'm not convinced they actually understand what the word freedom means.

I sincerely apologize for suggesting that everyone deserves freedom of speech, and not just people from approved groups expressing approved opinions. Please don't be sad.

You post a video and then IN THE SAME POST cry foul that people here haven't said curtailing her free speech is wrong?

Curtailing her free speech, if anybody does that, is wrong. I'm sorry I couldn't have posted that before the start and next line of your post.

Nothing antisemitic in protesting decades of Palestinian oppression at the hands of a powerful government that has also been stealing land that whole time.

This is debatable. BDS was widely accused of being antisemitic.

Yes, that is the favorite tactic of people that have been oppressing and stealing from millions for decades.

Accuse anyone or anything that opposes their inhumanity as being antisemitic.

It's total hogwash.

There any many Jews living in Israel that are totally opposed to the actions of their government. They are a minority so they cannot get anything done. They are not antisemitic.

You are so antisemitic that you don't recognize antisemitism when you see it.

So the only possible reason that anyone could possibly have for objecting to Israeli imperialism is hatred of Jews?

In practice most opposition to Israel is antisemitism in disguise.

According to wiki Harry Potter is against BDS, so shut up with your tired mantra.

It is a tactic.

It helped in South Africa.

Worked?

South Africa basically exchanged a fairly benign oppressor for a far from benign oppressor and severely damaged their economy besides.

They are half right.

Why do you think that untermensche hates Jews?

Evidence?

Other than redefining anti-Semitism to include opposition to Israeli imperialism.

Aw, LP's claim has the same validity as the claim that in practice most opposition to affirmative action is racism in disguise.

Benign oppressor?

You never grew a conscience.

 

[repoman]

Isn't pledging loyalty to a foreign nation the definition of treason?

Only in ZOGmerica...

Ditto. Can't see how this is Constitutional as it appears to be viewpoint discrimination. And, perhaps to Underseer's dismay, this is bipartisan.

BDS is not so different from the Nazis.



Anti-Israel rally at Amsterdam Holocaust monument glorifies suicide bomber

Later that day, one activist told a JTA journalist filming the event: “Cancer Jews, you people don’t exist, you’re made up.” But another, a woman from Ireland, insisted that the rally isn’t anti-Semitic, saying “Criticism is not anti-Semitism.”
Amin Abou Rashed, a man identified by Israel and other Western intelligence agencies as a Hamas operative in the Netherlands, was present at the event alongside BDS activist Simon Vrouwe.

Pro-BDS pastor and German Green Party figure speaks at Nazi event

Friedrich Bode, a Protestant pastor and co-founder of the Green Party branch in Bremen, delivered a talk at a neo-Nazi party event in Karlshöfe, Lower Saxony, on Saturday.
Bode supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state.

Oh, and here are some Neo-Nazis waving the Palestinian flags.



The banner reads "The state of Israel is our misfortune" which hearkens back to Nazi slogan "Juden sind unser Unglück" ("Jews are our misfortune").

What's anti-Semitic about opposing the actions of a government that oppresses the Semitic people in Palestine?

What's anti-Semitic about opposing policies that deliberately place Jews in harm's way?

What's anti-Semitic about applying economic pressure to discourage violations of basic human rights?

 

[repoman]

Jews own "Semite" now.

 

[Trausti]

Whether BDS is anti-Semitic is beside the point. The government should not condition public employment/contracts on political viewpoint.

 

[Arctish]

No they don't. But even if they did, putting Jews in harm's way in those West Bank settlements is a lot more anti-Semitic than refusing to buy couscous.

 

[laughing dog]

BDS is not so different from the Nazis.

And yet, this school district appears copasectic with Nazi employees.

I agree.

So, there are a lot military equipment sales from the US to Israel and a lot of that is what people say is our aid to Israel.

So, that may be part of what is going on, insuring more money to US military contractors.

In the Israeli/Palestinian problem the Palestinians are an oppressed people, not Nazi's.

Nazi's what?

Btw, Hitler had a whole division of Muslim Nazis. And yes, it's Nazis, not "Nazi's".

Let's see the "logic".

Hitler, meaning people working in the German government either coerced or bribed some tiny group of Muslims to do something.

Therefore all Muslims are terrorists.

Therefore all Palestinians are Nazi terrorists and do not deserve the rights of autonomous statehood.

The "logic" is clear.
