Why is the Qatari Foundation spending $8 million annually to peddle anti-Israel propaganda in classrooms across America
By JNS.org, United With Israel, October 5 2018
For seven years, the terrorist-sympathizing Qatari government has been spending $8 million to influence content in classrooms across the United States, including in the heavily Jewish-populated town of Newton, Mass., according to The Wall Street Journal .
As previously reported by JNS , the school district in the area is facing a lawsuit in Massachusetts Superior Court by a community group called Education Without Indoctrination (EWI), claiming numerous violations of the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law “stemming from the school committee’s handling of a burgeoning scandal over anti-Semitic lessons and the promotion of Islamic religious beliefs as objective facts in the public school district’s history classes.”
“Newton public-school students are propagandized with materials that slander Israel and the Jewish people , and that falsify history to promote the Islamic religion in public schools,” according to a statement from the Boston-based organization Americans for Peace and Tolerance. “Just this past May, Newton North High School invited an anti-Semitic group to screen Palestinian propaganda films to its students. For this, NPS Superintendent David Fleishman earned a rebuke from the New England branch of the Anti-Defamation League and Boston’s Jewish Community Relations Council.”
Qatar Foundation International (QFI), part of the Qatari ruling Al-Thani family’s Qatar Foundation, sponsored a training course attended by Newton history teacher David Bedar, who has plotted with fellow teachers through email to “harass, bully, and ‘call out’ conservative students in the classroom, admitting to acting as a ‘liberal propagandist’ in the classroom,” according to The Federalist .
The Middle East Forum’s Sam Westrop told JNS about the specific course material funded by QFI.
“Al Masdar, QFI’s flagship curriculum project, is heavily promoted in American schools. The courses include lessons such as ‘Express Your Loyalty to Qatar,’ and another that teaches about the ‘greed’ of the corporations ostensibly responsible for the Iraq war in the wake of the Bush administration’s ‘lies’ about 9/11,” he said.
“Another promoted course encourages students to discuss ‘Israeli soldiers taunting and shooting children in Palestinian refugee camps, with the assistance of U.S. military aid,’ ” continued Westrop. “Maggie Salem, the head of its U.S. branch, Qatar Foundation International, is a prominent supporter of BDS measures against Israel.”
Moreover, added Westrop, “the foundation bestows awards upon Hamas leaders, employs some of the world’s most prominent Islamist ideologues at its institutions in Doha and works with charities in the region that the Israeli government has accused of funding terrorism.”

It's no wonder antisemitism is increasing. But just say ONE word about Islamic terrorism and you're called an Islamophobe. The increase in antisemitism is worse in Europe than in the USA, so it is not necessarily the fault of the present administration of the USA, and this article indicates that there are foreign elements that provoke it.
Antisemitism has increased drastically, recently, because the President of the United States gives support and comfort to Nazis and White Supremacists.
Some very fine people are saying "Jews will not replace us!"
Is it your opinion that the schools being infected by this antisemitic programming are run by neo-Nazis and white supremacists? It seems to me from everything I've read that the educational system in the USA leans rather heavily to the "left".
Don't know about 'left.' But I do know that The Russian Federation under the leadership of Vladimir Putin is using his own INTEL and Arab Allies to undermine the US and weaken our power and influence in Europe and the Mid East. To create a universal distrust of Israel within the US population would be of great benefit to those interested in weakening American economic, military and political power. But the greatest damage would be the fracturing of American cohesiveness and resolve. It is very interesting that the GOP congress will not act on cyber security. Very interesting.
And Trump seems to have an 'affinity' for strongmen and autocrats. If you can dispute this, please do.
