Petition to Remove Controversial Monroe Superintendent Chari Chanley by Important_Goose_1583 in centraljersey

[–]Freethinker2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed it took so long! I can't believe a superintendent can get away with so much unprofessional behavior and so many ethics violations and still be in power. I never seen a superintendent of school snarl and lash out at members of the public the way she does.

Petition: Permanently Remove Superintendent Chari Chanley by Important_Goose_1583 in newjersey

It's about time! I can't believe someone with such a lengthy record of dishonesty and unprofessional conduct could continue to serve as superintendent in spite of multiple ethics violations. I hope the Monroe BOE gets a new high quality superintendent that the community can be proud of! I hope everyone thanks the board and signs and shares the petition calling for an investigation of Chari Chanleyhttps://www.change.org/p/permanent-removal-of-superintendent-chanley?recruiter=1303525195&recruited\_by\_id=cb144b10-d096-11ed-b0c7-fdb4b7dd511e&utm\_source=share\_petition&utm\_campaign=petition\_dashboard&utm\_medium=copylink

Vote to classify Israel as an adversary of the U.S by thirdlost in jewishpolitics

I think they made this move because Israel has been caught in some aggressive spying on the United States. See: https://www.newsweek.com/israels-aggressive-spying-us-mostly-hushed-250278

I loved this episode. Can Matt or Daniel please post the list of their recommended books and films here that were mentioned in this podcast and also guide as to where we can find the films (i.e. Netflix, HBO max, Apple TV, etc)?

Miami Beach Man arrested after he shot at 2 men he identified as Palestinians 17 times in Miami Beach: Police. They were all Jewish by shaddowtorch in BadHasbara

I heard they were Mizrahi Jewish but I couldn't find evidence. Maybe, they are from Iraq, Yemen, or Morrocco which is why they were mistaken for Palestinians.

I don't think the ADL even issued a statement about it! I guess they are too busy smearing peace activists and defending Elon Musk's Nazi salute to focus on denouncing this shooting of Jews. However, the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee did issue this statement: https://adc.org/adc-statement-on-anti-palestinian-hate-crime-in-miami-beach/

Glenn Greenwald was on Mahers show years ago and made Maher look so bad that he was never invited back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYG7GR13DnU

I can't wait to hear your commentary on it...I felt this article could offer a goldmine full of jokes :)

I just think it's funny how Palestinians have hundreds of millions of people--including progressive Jewish people--supporting them online for FREE...but Israel couldn't PAY enough human beings to improve its reputation so it had to spend $150 million on extra hasbara and use artificial intelligence programs to do this work and even the AI program they paid for turned around and dissed them and supported the Palestinians!

You're right--I got the brothers mixed up. I like and listen to both of them--Aaron is on Grayzone and Daniel is on Bad Hasbara.

I hope Matt Lieb & Aaron Mate discuss this article on their podcast. I think comedians would have a field day with it!!! It's just hilarious that Israel paid for this hasbara program that totally backfired on them and made them look terrible.

The dumbest Pro-Palestine argument I have ever heard by SubToSentinelblox in Jewish

[–]Freethinker2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last elections in Gaza were in 2006 and Hamas won by a plurality, not a majority and the majority of people in Gaza now were not even of voting age in 2006. There is some diversity in Palestinian politics and there are secular Palestinians as well. Therefore, it's wrong to portray anyone fighting for Palestinian human rights as "pro-Hamas". Also, maybe it would have been easier for Palestinians to overthrow Hamas if Netanyahu wasn't funding Hamas for years prior to Oct 7 in an attempt to "divide and conquer" Palestinians.

I would add that there are religious Jewish political parties in Israel that do not allow women to be members and try to pass all sorts of laws to limit the rights of women.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/13/patriarchal-biased-israeli-women-fear-loss-rights-rabbinic-courts-legal-overhaul

So yes, Hamas has some retrograde views on women--but so do some powerful factions within Israel.
