#Rohingya muslim fleeing Myanmar’s northern #Rakhine State pay $300 to $500 for documents to get past Arakan Army (AA) checkpoints—to smugglers, to village administrators, or to armed group itself (para. 26). But the costs of being Rohingya in Rakhine are not limited to leaving.

With the military junta enforcing a blockade on all land and water routes into Sittwe, residents seeking to flee intensifying urban combat have been left relying on commercial air travel to leave the city.

Two years after the Arakan Army, an ethnic armed group, killed and wounded hundreds of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine State and burned down their village, the survivors are still denied justice and cannot return to their homes. trib.al/vL768CO

What’s wild is your attempt to conflate the genocidal Israeli government with “Jewish people.” You’re like a double nightmare. Racist against Palestinians and antisemitic.

This doesn't teach to the whole person and is the reason why we've made education into a failing jobs training. If a student is below expectations, you slow down or go back and figure out when it becomes easy and add one more thing.
TheZillenialTeacher@ZillennialApple10h
While I'm on a hot take streak, I don't think children who are below grade level should be taking electives like art, band or choir at school. They should be taking remedial classes until they're scoring proficient on their standardized tests.

My dad taught shop for 16 years. I cannot tell you the number of his former students who have told me, "The only reason I stayed in school was your dad's shop class."

Imagine a school system that‘s so bad it creates illiterate students, then punishes those struggling students by depriving them of participating in beautiful subjects like art and music (where they could actually thrive.)

Kids who need remediation typically don't do well spending twice as much time on subjects they struggle with. Electives/sports are a huge incentive system to get them to do anything. "We're taking away the one thing you look forward to and giving you even more of the thing you hate, please comply"

This makes me think of the dozens of kids I've had who found joy in education through culinary, art, or sports and then turned it into achievement across all subjects. This is the polar opposite of what needs to happen but it also could be parody, lol.

One of the highlights of my time in Jordan was visiting UNWRA archives and examining the index cards and other records of the 750,000 Palestinians kicked off their land at the Nakba in 1948. They used to be kept in Gaza and were airlifted out at the beginning of the genocide- Israel has destroyed all the archives that remained. They form the best evidence for some form of reparations in the future and are now being scanned and digitalised

غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد النهضة (أرض) تنظّم زيارة للمؤرخ ويليام دالريمبل إلى أرشيف الأونروا وحواراً رفيع المستوى حول فلسطين Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After ARDD Organizes William Dalrymple’s Visit to UNRWA Archives and High-Level Dialogue on Palestine نظّمت منظمة النهضة العربية للديمقراطية والتنمية (أرض)، من خلال مركز النهضة الاستراتيجي، وتحت عنوان «غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد»، زيارة إلى أرشيف الصور والأفلام التابع لوكالة الأمم المتحدة لإغاثة وتشغيل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين (الأونروا)، بمشاركة المؤرخ والكاتب البريطاني البارز ويليام دالريمبل، إلى جانب لقاء عمل حواري رفيع المستوى جمع دبلوماسيين وأكاديميين وصنّاع سياسات وخبراء إقليميين، لمناقشة التطورات في غزة وفلسطين ضمن التحولات التاريخية والسياسية الأوسع التي يشهدها الشرق الأوسط. وخلال الزيارة إلى أرشيف الأونروا، التي نُظّمت بالتعاون مع الوكالة، اطّلع دالريمبل على سجلات ووثائق تاريخية توثّق تهجير الفلسطينيين وتجارب اللاجئين وذاكرتهم الجماعية منذ عام 1948. ويُعدّ هذا الأرشيف، المدرج ضمن برنامج ذاكرة العالم التابع لليونسكو، مرجعاً تاريخياً مهماً يبرز ضرورة الحفاظ على التاريخ الفلسطيني والهوية الوطنية وتجارب أجيال متعاقبة من اللاجئين. للمزيد: ardd-jo.org/news/%d8%ba%d8%b… The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), through its Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC), organised, under the theme “Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After,” a visit to the UNRWA Photo and Film Archives with renowned British historian and author William Dalrymple, alongside a high-level working lunch bringing together diplomats, academics, policymakers, and regional experts to reflect on Gaza and Palestine within the broader historical and political transformations shaping the Middle East. During the visit to the UNRWA Archives, facilitated in cooperation with UNRWA, Dalrymple explored historical records documenting Palestinian displacement, refugee experiences, and collective memory since 1948. Recognized by UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, the archives underscore the importance of preserving Palestinian history, identity, and the experiences of generations of refugees. for more: renaissancestrategiccenter.c…

Which is unsurprising when you remember that Emma Lazarus, she of the New Colossus, was a Zionist.
Stanley Cohen@StanleyCohenLaw20h
So if your family came from Latin America or Africa you are presumptively an "illegal" but a European zionist fully covered by the Statue of Liberty exception.

Lazarus' New Colossus was also propaganda. It literally recast the Statue of Liberty - originally created by Bartholdi and Eiffel to celebrate the end of enslavement of Black folks in the U.S. - as a symbol of White immigrants seeking freedom. xitter.cf/transjewtalian/status/…
trans judeo-bolshevik@transjewtalian12 Apr 2025
thinking a lot about the meaning in this very moment about how the poet emma lazarus who wrote in the “new colossus” at the bottom of the statue of liberty “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”….was a zionist
