Principal forced to resign over T-Shirt

Does it sound absurd to you? It does to me.

But, of course, absurdity is the quintessential characteristic of attacks by the zionist media against anyone they perceive as an ideological enemy of the state of israel.

It's precisely what was used against the principal of a new Arabic Academy scheduled to open in Brooklyn next week, who was forced to resign under intense pressure from New York's zionist media because she refused to condemn a t-shirt that they insist promotes violence.

The Khalil Gibran International Academy––a new bi-lingual school dedicated to teaching children Arabic and instructing students about Middle Eastern history––received a new principal after the abrupt departure of its founder Debbie Almontaser in a flap over a t-shirt.

The new interim principal is Danielle Salzberg, who is an Orthodox Jewish woman that has been working with the Dept. of Education to establish the Khalil Gibran school.

There was no reason for this to happen, except for a highly organized politically motivated media campaign to oust Almontaser.

She's highly qualified, having worked at New York's department of education for years, helping the city educate and guide its youth. And no one ever heard a word against her - before she founded this school.

Suddenly, she's forced to resign over a t-shirt.

The school's founder stepped down last week after she initially refused to renounced the sale of t-shirts marketed by an organization she was associated with that read "Intifada, NYC." Almontaser attempted to describe the message as feminist, but the civil-violence connotations of the word intifada became publicly overwhelming and she submitted her resignation. [snip]

But how can a t-shirt be considered violent - let alone one that's white with pink letters donned by a group of young female activists dedicated to promoting "empowerment, service, [and] civic participation" by Arabs in their communities???

Quite simply - it can't.

The only violence in this picture is the violence perpetrated by these militant media zionists against the meaning of the word intifada which they have usurped from its original roots (which is "to shake off [oppression]") and infused with their own custom tailored zionist propaganda for the express purpose of smearing and ousting Almontasser and killing this school.

In the wreckage of Dhabah Almontaser's forced resignation from the Khalil Gibran International Academy last Friday, a development which these writers had no small role in bringing about, serious questions remain.

Chief among them is that despite the departure of the institution's figurehead, the school's Executive Summary, a template for ideological jihad authored by Almontaser, guarantees that her influence will prevail as long as KGIA exists.

These zionists don't care about the t-shirt.

They're just cooking up an excuse to attack Almontaser for daring to open a school that threatens to bridge the cultural divide that they so painstakingly created through their repeated lies and propaganda against anything that's Muslim or Arab.

The Khalil Gibran International Academy has generated fierce opposition since its proposal. Critics have called it a taxpayer-funded madrassa and a ideological academy for future terrorists.

Nevermind that a similar Hebrew public school, named after a Jewish High priest and run by a Rabbi, where kosher food is served and Hebrew and Jewish "culture" is taught, is slated to open this fall in California.

The media has little if anything to say about it. And when they do, it's limited to the concerns over separation of church and state and pales in comparison to the virulent attacks against the Arabic Academy.

No one accuses Jews of trying to establish "midrash" (a hebrew name for religious study) or blames them for openly supporting the brutal killing and maiming of innocent Palestinians under israel's illegal occupation.

Typical zionist double standards.

A Hebrew public school is kosher and desirable.

An Arab Academy is hateful and cannot be tolerated.

A columnist for The New York Sun suggested that New Yorkers should head to City Hall with pitchforks and torches to protest the school's founding. This was despite Almontaser's insistence that she wanted to found a school dedicated to intercultural understanding.

The New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser called the appointment of a non-Arabic-speaking "Jewess" as the head of a bi-lingual school named after a Christian-American poet a "HEBREW HA-HA" joke.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

They managed to browbeat Almontaser into relinquishing her right to participate and direct a public institution designed to foster a better understanding of the Arabic Middle east - one that does not reek of zionist propaganda.

That ought to give New York zionists some measure of satisfaction - unless of course, the new interim principal turns out to be another "self-hating Jew" that objects to condoning israeli genocide and apartheid.

In any event, we'll see who gets the last laugh.

The zionist media cannot last.

By this time next year, no one in American will believe their lies. And the public will grow to hate their strong-arm zionist tactics.
