'BLM at School' Releases Pro-Palestinian Toolkit to Teach US Kids About Israel's 'Dismal World Image'
Children in classrooms that use a curriculum with the Black Lives Matter stamp of approval will be taught that Israel is the evil force in the Middle East.
BLM at School shared a “Teaching Palestine” toolkit on Tuesday.
The wave of death triggered by Hamas when terrorists massacred more than 1,400 people in southern Israel this month “is the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians,” the BLM at School proclaimed.
“Palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not a metaphor or abstraction, but requires real, daily struggle,” it said.
“The ongoing fight to #TeachTruth in the U.S. must include Palestinian existence, resistance, culture, global contributions, and the ongoing struggle to realize a free Palestine,” BLM at school said.
“It also must directly name the ways that U.S. imperialism has fueled and supported apartheid and war crimes,” it said.

The toolkit includes links to a number of pro-Palestinian websites.
The first resource listed is Decolonize Palestine, a website run by Palestinians in Ramallah. Among other things, it warns of “the myriad ways in which Israel seeks to improve its dismal world image.”
It also says apartheid is too kind a word to describe Israel.
“The Palestinian cause is a cause for decolonization and freedom, not for acquiring privileges in a colonial state. Consequently, we argue that the term Apartheid is not a sufficient descriptor for the status quo, but merely one of the many crimes committed by Israel,” the site says.
“After all, even if Israel stopped practicing Apartheid, without true decolonization and the right of return, the Palestinian struggle for liberation would be incomplete,” it says.
Hamas has funded & pushed propaganda within the U.S. to gain support for their attacks on Israel.
Groups like BLM have helped them.
That’s why @CPAC sent a letter to every Attorney General urging them to review BLM affiliated groups & their activity to uncover any terrors… pic.twitter.com/KuEBA6dkIC

The site is in line with other Black Lives Matter commentary on Israel’s response to the terrorist attack.
In an Instagram post, BLM leader Melina Abdullah called Israel’s response “a blatant attempt to collectively punish the Palestinian people for exercising their right to resist their oppressors as they march toward liberation.”

Black Lives Matter and Hamas-supporting groups are linked by an “oppressed-oppressor narrative that helps them destroy society,” the Heritage Foundation’s Mike Gonzalez said, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
“They see Israel as a kind of mini-me of the West and America. They hate the West. Jerusalem is one of the founding blocks of Western thought, so if they’re going to hate the West they have to hate Israel,” Gonzalez said.
A news release last year from Parents Defending Education said BLM at School was used by 12 school districts across the nation.
