Jihad Against U.S. High School Students

On Dec. 4th, 2003 the “Wheels of Justice Tour” appeared during school hours on the grounds of Ukiah High School in Northern California. What was this tour? It was the PLO, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and other leftist groups such as International Answer packaged to teach your 15 year-old child that the Israel must be dismantled and the US must get out of Iraq to aid the comeback of Saddam Hussein. Passing themselves off as objective “peace” advocates, the tour group spoke at Ukiah High to three class sessions during school hours and had their bus, as a sort of rolling museum, on school grounds all day for the students to look at.

“The bus is really a mobile classroom”, says Ceylon Mooney, the tour’s national coordinator. “It comes complete with teachers (italics mine) and a wide range of instructional materials: videos, photographs, essays, fact sheets, etc”.[1]

Teachers? Fact sheets? When I first learned of this event I contacted Ukiah High School Principal Phil Gary to ask him if he knew just what he was exposing his students to during school hours. On the school’s website Gary lists as the “greatest single asset” of Ukiah High being its “quality teachers”.[2] Yet Principal Gary expressed total ignorance of the groups sponsoring the tour. When I asked him if he knew the ISM is led by the PLO and openly supports armed resistance and works to aid terrorists in the Middle East, he professed ignorance of his visiting lecturers.3 After I gave him a synopsis of just who was appearing and the usual content of their presentation, the principal called it “freedom of speech”.

Freedom of speech is fine, but not freedom to libel and lie with the intent of spreading sedition among US high school children against the US and its democratic allies. Nor to indoctrinate them with those lies on the taxpayer’s dime.

Voices In The Wilderness, which runs the tour, is yet another leftist front group created by the militant Islamists of the PLO allied with anti-globalists who seek the overthrow of the US government and capitalism. 4 The group really represents the goals of and even accepts donations by checks made out to Al Awda , a.k.a. The Palestine Right To Return Committee (PRRC) and allies itself with International Answer and the International Action Center, Ramsey Clark’s outfits.5 Al Awda means “the Return” in Arabic and is really a front for the PLO that advocates unconditionally that 5 million Palestinians be allowed to move inside Israel displacing the Jewish population and dismantling the Jewish state. The Texas chapter used to have a website extolling the glory of suicide bombers. 6The other groups just want the US out of Iraq to enable the comeback of Saddam Hussein. (Happily, that won’t happen with the announcement of Hussein’s capture as this article went to press). Ramsey Clark was Saddam Hussein’s personal attorney and represented Iraq prior to the war. The PLO has always been the dictator

Hussein’s closest ally in the Middle East.

Rounding out this tour’s sponsors is the Middle East Children’s Alliance in Berkeley, run by Barbara Lubin.7 Her group has yet to provide any aid to Middle East Israeli children maimed for life by suicide bombers and terrorist attacks. She plies her “charity” mainly in Gaza, Hamas country. It never ceases to amaze me how many Arab “charities” have been closed down to date when it was learned they really are fronts for funding terrorism.

Her group advocates the dismantling of Israel also and opposes US forces in Iraq.

Half the presentation was given over to Lauren Anzaldo of the International Solidarity Movement which is “Palestinian-led” per its own admission and whose leadership, despite claiming to be nonviolent, endorses violence as acceptable to destroy Israel “by any means necessary” on its website.8

Which is exactly what this tour did. Ms. Anzaldo, speaking as an experienced ISM volunteer, told various classes of 12th graders that Israeli soldiers shoot into schools of children like themselves as normal procedure. “Soldiers come in the middle of the night and shoot at schools—during the day too”.9 On earlier occasions she has told stories that the Israeli army sprays DDT into Palestinian homes as part of a deliberate Israeli plan to promote Palestinian birth defects.10 Of course, Ms. Anzaldo, who calls herself an “anarcha-feminist” and has no teaching degree or educational qualifications but was allowed to address students as if she was speaking facts, described atrocities that always began with “Somebody told me”… despite her appearing as someone who was relating real experiences as an ISM volunteer in the West Bank. This is usually how the ISM and their affiliates tell stories of made up Israeli and American “abuses” of civilian populations.

Her co-speaker was John Farrell, affiliated with International Answer, who told of how American troops routinely commit atrocities on Iraqi civilians.11 He also related the canard that Iraqi children are experiencing birth defects due to the uranium tipped shells used by the US in the 1991 Gulf War. That propaganda story was put out by Hussein’s propaganda ministries before the current war began, and the real truth is Iraqi children with birth defects are the result of Saddam Hussein gassing their villages.

I interviewed the bus tour on their cellphone where Ms. Anzaldo, who also bills herself as a nonviolent “peace” advocate, told me how she considered suicide bombers as “martyrs”. “This is an armed struggle situation when someone seeks to colonize another country, armed resistance is acceptable”. She continued, “I support the people’s right to armed struggle”. When I asked her if Israelis have a legitimate fear of being murdered she forgot herself for a moment and said, “the Jews have no rights…Oops, I mean the Zionists”.

“Oops” indeed.

Despite the tour’s claim that they represent all points of view on any type of agreement to seek “peace” in the region, she stated she supports only a one state solution, that pushed by Al Awda, (The Return in Arabic) the front group for the PLO. In other words, the dismantling of Israel to create an Arab-Muslim majority dictatorship by flooding Israel’s 1948 borders with Arabs to displace the Jewish majority demographically is the aim, and packaging it as a “peace” group seeking to promote human rights is just a ploy. Al Awda offers no compromises on its website and clearly is behind the tour.

Ms. Anzaldo, also calls herself an “anarcha-feminist”, which she defines as an “objection to the oppression of women” but doesn’t mind running around lying for the Palestinian Authority where over 40 “honor killings” of women occurred this past year. That’s when a male family member murders a female member for losing her virginity, even if she was raped . She explained it wasn’t her “business to interfere with their religion or culture”.

But interfering with Israelis besieged by suicide bombers or smearing American soldiers in Iraq are another story. She explained, “we should focus on things the American military does such as experiments with poisons on our own people (sic)”.

This is a guest teacher or even a lecturer in the view of Ukiah High School?

She did admit that Yasser Arafat steals from of his own people but hedged her comment by continuing, “ Just like George Bush is an ***hole”. She crowed that the Ukiah High Students “were really taken with what we told them, really shocked with what we said”.

They told her they “never hear such things when they get the mainstream point of view”. Could that be because much of what she “teaches” is not true and professional news sources verify their stories with sources, dates and facts whenever possible?

Thanks for the post. I've forwarded it to neighbors who have kids in the local H.S.

Sounds like Principal Gary needs a personal visit by a few hundred leather clad bikers. I'll start the phones ringing.

This reminds me of why I stopped giving my tourism dollars to California.

Can I guess what his 1st Amendment sentiments would be towards an NRA traveling road show coming to his school to have a "teach-in" about the 2nd Amendment?

When I asked him if he knew the ISM is led by the PLO and openly supports armed resistance and works to aid terrorists in the Middle East, he professed ignorance of his visiting lecturers.3 After I gave him a synopsis of just who was appearing and the usual content of their presentation, the principal called it Òfreedom of speechÓ.

And you can bet if the Boy Scouts held a meeting at that school, all concern with "freedom of speech" would magicaly vanish and the principal would demand they leave immediately. I mean, if there was word of the Boy Scouts planning on having a meeting, you can bet the school would arrange to have armed guards question every car that entered, "Are you with the Boy Scouts? I'll have to ask you to turn around and leave."

As part of our official Curriculum in NY in the early 1980s we had to take "afro-asian cultures" in which the teacher attempted to use our heads as a trashpail. The jist of the course was American culture is not superior to any thrid world sticks and mud culture, in fact western culture was guilty of slavery and exploitation. Islam is peace, colonialism and imperialism is evil etc.

9/11 has a long heritage, and this was part of it, filling kids' heads with mush to make them unwary of terrorist infiltration.

Bring that bus to Indianapolis - I'll see to it that my teenage sons see first-hand what we're fighting against.

BTW, just bought a new Remington .308 rifle and a box of ammo for my 16-year old for Christmas. "Happy shooting, Son!"

Well surprise, surprise!

Once again, the public schools demonstrate that they are at war against American children and against American ideals.

What a lucky kid! That will be a present he'll remember forever!

Mr. Gary is ignorant and Ms. Anzaldo is a lying propagandist. The PLO, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and other leftist groups such as International Answer want to take away all freedoms, not just speech.

The freedom to hate will be allowed, as long as you hate the "right" things.

Exposed: Pelosi's Socialist Ties

Pelosi leader of 'Progressive Caucus'

From those links, these excerpts ...

"DSA/USA, the 'Democratic Socialists of America' are the U.S. arm of the Socialist International. They share the symbol of the fist holding the rose, and they share the tasks to be accomplished — in our case, an altogether different America ...

"Some time ago — the date is missing from the descriptions — 58 members of the U.S. House of Representatives formed a subdivision of the Democratic Socialists of America and called it the Progressive Caucus. Their statement of purpose, as well as their membership list, formed an integral part of the dsausa Web site (www.dsausa.org ). The membership list appeared on the screen with the continuous background of the fist holding the rose, should anyone have missed the connection with the Socialist International."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the likely [she is now] new minority leader in the House of Representatives, serves on the executive committee of the socialist-leaning Progressive Caucus, a bloc of about 60 votes or nearly 30 percent of the minority vote in the lower chamber.

The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans.

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."
