So now Newton has two groups trying to paint Newton public schools as pro-Palestinian

Village 14 reports on how a new group, which claims it has nothing to do with old Newton-school hater Charles Jacobs, is trying to enlist Newton North students for an "essay contest" on Israeli/Palestinian relations in which they have to cite their sources, in a supposed attempt to see just what materials the school is using to teach about the Middle East.

imo
everybody should be pro palestine as well as pro israel, perhaps everybody could just get along
tho america is probably the wrong country to ask about their thoughts on displacing a native population because they feel like it is their destiny to live off of a certain land
It would also be nice
if we could stop giving them billions of dollars in foreign aid to use on military buildup and coordinated attacks on civilian population centers in Palestine, based largely on US evangelicals' insane theological conviction that they're helping bring about the end of days.
Plenty of Blame
It wouldn't hurt to stop lobbing rockets at Israeli civilians and acknowledge their right as a county, too.
Both sides are despicable.

Just the facts
APT showed the material that the Newton Public Schools were distributing. Frankly, they have more credibility with me than universalhub does when it comes to Israel and the Arabs. The left has a real Israel problem, and some of us don't like that, even in Boston.
Uh
You may want to read/watch your own link. They don't show much of anything. The worst thing they can come up with is "Newton is providing students with sources from both camps, rather than showing only the views expressed by peaceandtolerance.org"
Oh the drama

"The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict"
A Play
by Samuel Becket
Palestinian: We will drive you into the sea.
Israeli: We will drive YOU into the sea.
(they do not drive each other into the sea)

Prologue
British guy: I say old chap, what should we do with Palestine now that we've wrested it away from the Turks? Randomly slice it up to create arbitrary weak states?
French guy: Oui, oui!

American State Dept: Wait, what?
