Washington Democrats Add ‘Hamas Amendment’ to Holocaust Education Bill
Let’s make Holocaust education less about the Jews and more about others, today’s ‘true’ victims.
Pro-Palestinian and antisemitic activists in Washington State have added an amendment to that state’s Holocaust Education Bill, the so-called “Hamas Amendment,” that requires it to include the study of what the Palestinians have supposedly suffered as victims of their own Holocaust, carried out by the “genocidal” Israelis:
“Washington Democrats slap surprise ‘Hamas amendment’ on Holocaust education bill,” by Ari Hoffman, Post Millennial, February 13, 2024:
…After the bill came out of committee with unanimous approval, Seattle Democratic Rep. Emily Alvarado, in a move attempting to pacify her far-left base, slapped what legislators have dubbed the “Hamas amendment” on the legislation that would open the door for the Holocaust curriculum to include the false Hamas narrative in an attempt to offset addressing pro-Israel “bias” in the material.
Alvarado’s amendment added that the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must work with organizations with “expertise in teaching lessons on genocide and crimes against humanity in different regions of the world and at various points in history, particularly including diasporic communities with lived experiences of surviving, being made refugee by, or otherwise being directly impacted by genocide,” in an effort to include Palestinians.
It’s obvious what Alvarado had in mind.
She wanted to please her far-left base, all those “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” shouters, who will not rest as long as Israel exists and the Palestinians have not yet destroyed the tiny Jewish state and replaced it with a twenty-third Arab one.
The “diasporic community with lived experiences of surviving, being made refugee [sic] by, or otherwise being directly impacted by genocide” is clearly meant by Alvarado to refer to the “Palestinians,” a “diasporic community” spread out across the Middle East, and found not just in Gaza, Israel, and the West Bank, but also still cooped up in UNRWA-run refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq.
As noted above, there has been no ”genocide” in Gaza.
Nor has there been any in Israel within the 1949 armistice lines. In 1948 there were 156,000 Arabs in Israel, while today there are two million.
Finally, in Judea and Samaria (a/k/a the West Bank), the Palestinian population has gone from 900,000 in 1967, when Israel took it over, to 3 million today, a more than tripling of the population.
Genocide? What genocide?
Alvarado claimed on the House floor, when she introduced the surprise amendment without informing the Republican author of the bill, that it was being brought forward to make the proposed Holocaust education more “inclusive” and “accountable.”
Of course. Let’s make Holocaust education less about the Jews and more about others, today’s true victims.
My goodness, the Jews get quite enough sympathy already, don’t they? I mean, just look at all the votes in their favor at the UN. Holocaust education has to be more “inclusive.” And more equitable. And more diverse.
House Democrats realized they wouldn’t have the votes to pass the Holocaust education bill without the amendment due to their radical members and instead of having the antisemitic rhetoric from their caucus be live-streamed, they adjourned for the night.
The next day they came back united on including the “Hamas amendment,” forcing the GOP to either pass the legislation or appear as if they opposed Holocaust education….
The radical, anti-Israel Democrats are now in control of their party in Washington State.
They forced the old-style centrist Democrats to accept the “Hamas amendment” to the Holocaust Education bill, and then presented it to the House as the final, non-negotiable, version.
It was a take-it-or-leave-it challenge to the Republicans.
If the Republicans refused to approve it, because of the “Hamas amendment,” they might be perceived as being against “Holocaust education.”
If they accepted it, they would be acquiescing to a sinister bill that, as amended, intends to deny the uniqueness of the Holocaust against the Jews, and to promote “education” about a so-called “Holocaust of the Palestinians” by the Jews, in their role as the new Nazis.
Enough Republicans decided it was better to pass the Holocaust Education bill, despite the “Hamas amendment,” likely hoping that once it became law, individual instructors would have the good sense and decency to concentrate on the Holocaust of the Jews, and to avoid falling into the trap of teaching about a non-existent “Holocaust of the Palestinians.”
What’s next? A Palestinian Yad Vashem, to display the cruelty and brutality of the Israelis, and the millions upon millions of their Palestinian victims?
It could be made part of the Museum of the Palestinian People, in Washington, D.C., where government officials, ambassadors, and members of the media will have convenient access.
Will American schoolchildren on their visits to the nation’s capital now see not just the White House, the National Gallery, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, but soon as well, if CAIR has its way, this new wing of the Museum of the Palestinian People, showing the Palestinian victims of the storm-trooping and genocidal Jews?
Anything is possible. Nothing is too preposterous.

Trump calls Biden a "a vicious and nasty racist!"
COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Former President Donald Trump spoke at the Black Conservative Federation honors gala Friday evening as he ramps up his effort to court black voters away from the Democratic Party.
President Donald J. Trump highlighted Biden’s past ties with segregationists like Mississippi Sen. James Eastland and Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge, a connection Biden admitted to during the 2020 presidential election. Biden was also close friends with Senator Robert Carlyle Byrd.
Byrd started his political life as an Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan. In 1944, Byrd wrote the following in a letter to Senator Theodore Bilbo: "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
Byrd filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 14 hours.
Several polls show President Joe Biden rapidly losing support among black voters due to Biden's policies.

Houthi TV Runs Ad For 'Fire Your Own Missile' Campaign Calling On Yemenis To Sponsor Missile Attacks
Al-Masirah TV (Houthis-Yemen) aired on February 19, 2024 an ad calling on Yemenis to sponsor missiles as part of the "Fire Your Own Missile" campaign. In the ad, an old man and a boy watch Yahya Sare'e, spokesman of the Houthi-Yemeni military forces on TV, and they go to the post office to deposit money on behalf of the campaign. Also in the ad is a man who hears Sare'e on his car radio, who then transfers money on behalf of the campaign using his smartphone. The ad concludes with an excerpt from a February 8, 2024 speech by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Badreddine Al-Houthi: "When a ballistic, winged, or naval missiles is fired, it represents the people in its entirety."
Narrator: "This is an announcement by the Yemeni Armed Forces. In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Allah said [in the Quran]: 'Oh believers, if you support Allah, He will support you, and plant firmly your feet. In support of the oppressed Palestinian people who are subjected to aggression and sledge to this very moment, the Yemeni Missile Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out a military operation – with Allah's help – against specific targets of the Israeli enemy in the Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat] area in the south of occupied Palestine, using a number of ballistic missiles.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces stress that they will continue to fulfill their religious and moral duties towards the oppressed Palestinian people, heeding the call of our free Yemeni people, and the call of the free people in our Arab and Islamic nation."

Israel Tries Pilot Program to Replace Hamas with Local Leaders in Gaza City District
The pilot program in the Zeitoun neighborhood will include ending incitement in the schools • IDF building security road bisecting the Strip.
Israel is preparing to carry out a pilot program that will see local authorities replace the Hamas terrorist group in governing the southern Gaza City neighborhood of Zeitoun,Channel 12reported.
The military began a major aerial and ground offensive in the district on Monday night to clear it of terrorists ahead of the initiative. Led by the 162nd Division, Israeli forces killed and captured dozens of terrorists and confiscated a large amount of ammunition.
According to the report, Israel’s goal is for community leaders to manage the reception and distribution of humanitarian aid to establish an alternative toHamasin the northern Gaza Strip. Security forces will attempt to prevent the terrorist group from interfering with this process.
Gazan representatives recently met with Israeli officials to discuss the plan.
Notably, the plan does not involve a return to the north for the tens of thousands of Gazans who evacuated to a humanitarian zone in the southern Strip at the behest of the Israeli army. Instead, the pilot will be carried out with the residents who remained there.
Additionally, the pilot includes replacing the school curricula with textbooks that do not promote violent rejection of Israel and hatred towards Jews. Israeli leaders have repeatedly stressed the importance of deradicalizing the Gaza population, including moderating the educational system, after Hamas is defeated.
Israeli War Cabinet memberBenny Gantz on Wednesday evening referred to an international pilot in which moderate Arab countries would establish a civil administration to manage the Strip after the war ends, while Israel maintains full security control.
This civil administration would likely include “local Palestinians supported by some sort of regional committee or arrangement,” according to Gantz.
Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahuhas previously said that he wants to see local Palestinian community leaders govern Gaza instead of Hamas or the Palestinian Authority.
“Oslo was the mother of all sins. The difference betweenHamasand the Palestinian Authority is only that Hamas wants to destroy us here and now, and the P.A. wants to do it in stages,” Netanyahu said in December.

Border911: Former ICE Director Tom Homan and Rep Mark Finchem
America is not simply experiencing a rush across the once semi-secure southern Border. America is deliberately under attack. Those in public office, regardless of political party, whose loyalty is elsewhere than America First, are encouraging the onslaught leading to the collapse of this Republic. Make no mistake, a sophisticated plan was launched by Una-party/Globalist elected and related to collapse the United States into the New-World Order. The flood of humanity illegally flowing into America is one example of the plan launched to destroy our sovereignty.
Former Director of ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) Tom Homan and former Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem are my guests. Director Homan is announcing a program he launched called Border911. You will learn the seriousness of this program and where he is taking this over the next ten months. Mark Finchem is wholeheartedly participating given the critical position of Arizona in relation to the border, and as a candidate seeking the Office of State Senator.
I have met Tom Homan previously away from cameras and the public, and his sincerity and patriotism is beyond reproach. His caring heart for the values of America and what we are on course to lose if people do not step up immediately and say, "Enough" are also real and measurable. I urge you to reach out and learn about Border911 now; please don't wait.
