It’s fear, stoked by Israeli hasbara, amplified by right-wing media, and seasoned with a pinch (or more) of old-fashioned bigotry."

Thank you. It takes great writing to make a story about a hopeless case of extreme injustice make me feel hopeful. It's a a rare occurrence nowadays.

This is shameful and is why I'm proud to have helped start the @mcjewishcollective.bsky.social, to ensure that the full range of Jewish voices can be heard in this county and lifted up alongside our non-Jewish allies in support of Palestinian lives when speaking out can literally be dangerous here.

This guy was shouting at us, filming us, and physically inserting himself into our group, repeatedly trying to turn off our amplification system.

Today was the second time that an aggressive member of the Jewish community (he was wearing a star of David, last time it was people self-identifying as Jewish and/or Israeli) threatened and interrupted an action I was a part of.

Can you send a letter to the State Superintendent and Maryland Board of Education asking them to reverse these revisions and include Arab and Muslim voices in the process?
