A pair of University of Arizona education professors was recorded telling a “Cultural Pluralism for Young Children” class that Hamas is not comprised of terrorists, but is a “resistance” group merely opposed to Zionism.
Rebecca Lopez and Rebecca Zapien (pictured above), both of whom teach “teaching, learning & sociocultural studies,” initially appear to differ somewhat in their views in the audio obtained by the X account Israel War Room.
But not for long.
One of them concedes that Hamas representatives appear to be “like, speaking, like very antisemitic,” but is countered by her peer who says “they’re probably anti-Zionist, which, again, is about the Israeli state.”
“Antisemitism,” the second professor continues, “is different than being anti-Zionist.”
The first professor then claims the Hamas “movement” is about how Israel and the Zionists “have been taking away and taking away and blockading [Palestinians] so that they’re not allowed to leave, and they’re tired of that.”
She goes on to say it is “so exhausting” for Palestinians “to be constantly treated like crap, like you don’t matter,” and that Hamas is merely “responding” to this — much like the Black Panthers did in the U.S. during the civil rights struggle of 60-plus years ago.
This professor then states Hamas “doesn’t represent the Palestinian people” as they are “not elected officials.”
(In fact, they are.)
She says she “thinks [she] thought [Hamas] was a terrorist group” because people “just say” so, and her peer notes that “language matters.”
Despite having the ability to target its weapons, Israel puts “churches, shelters, schools [and] hospitals” in its crosshairs, the first professor continues. The targeting “seems to be very intentional and deliberate,” she says.
After a student in the class says Zionists are “almost as cruel as Nazis” and another student objects, one professor jumps in to say “genocide is awful” and that the “part that’s really brutal to think about is that there have been many holocausts” … but “we’re only taught about World War II.”
One professor eventually informs the class what they can do to support the Palestinian cause: engage in boycotts (she specifically mentions the BDS — Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions — movement), contact various representatives and organizations, and participate in marches.
In an education class at @uarizona, these professors chose to discuss the current Israel-Gaza war and the broader Israeli/Palestinian conflict. What was shared was an entirely BIASED, ANTISEMITIC, BLATANTLY FALSE, and TERRORISM-SUPPORTING narrative. Listen for yourself. 🧵

According to Ballotpedia, Zapien last year ran unsuccessfully for an at-large Tucson Unified School District school board seat. In 2020 she penned an op-ed blasting the district for having police, aka School Resource Officers, in its schools.
“Stop funding the false and dangerous narrative that SROs are safe for our brown and black youth,” she wrote.
“Stop participating in the school-to-prison pipeline and start practicing transformative justice.”
On her personal website, Lopez includes the “Mahatma Ghandi” [sic] quote “If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.”
Their language skills are at elementary school level and yet they are “university professors”.
Unbelievable and shameful.
But typical.
Say the two freaks who teach at the Audrey Hale School of Terrorism.
Watch this short video of young school children being turned into terrorists in their own words. Unbelievable hate for someone so young. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OFKVI2CrllA
The fun will begin while the ditzy professor broads are trying to explain to the Hammies that they are with Hamas in spirit.
A few hours later, we'll see them getting a free ride in the back of a Hammie pickup truck...
Maybe those weirdos need some resistance practiced on them
These people are human garbage.
Well then: long live the Empire!
A couple of ditzy “Karen” terrorism experts. That’s some funny stuff. Where are their Bimbo Burkas?
The taxpayers picked up the tuition student loan deadbeat tabs for these idiots to teach the empty school of mush “Karen” crap. No wonder they all ran out and saw Barbie as soon as it hit the big screen. The Zero Gravity man bun boyz are full sissified.
school = skulls
Thank God I had Nuns, who believed in TEACHING, who taught me.
I would exit the classroom if ever presented with the likes of these two coocoos
Also in my college days at Temple...NONE of the “Professors”
could touch the hem of my High School teachers.
“University of Arizona education professors”
Traitors who need to be adjudicated as such.
Professors Rebecca Lopez and Rebecca Zapien are typical of the deluded propaganda illusions the Islamic savages have spewed. I have one for therm: Why don’t they take a walk down the Santa Monica Pier and catch the mothership awaiting them?
Stupid smart people
With the exception of very few subjects in the sciences the U. of Arizona is a glorified junior college.
Two spinal columns can be seen in the scan. The pair were likely embracing as they burned
In an attempt to bring more women into academia, they have let the standards drop. These two clowns are so stupid they don’t even realize how stupid they are.
