Why Is a California Teachers Union So Anti-Israel?

Teachers unions have historically been formed to protect the rights of faculty members through collective bargaining. So, why would the California Faculty Association, a union from the largest state university system in the country go out of its way to issue an resolution that is decidedly anti-Israel? Additionally, why is a teachers union even spending time discussing, debating and passing a resolution about Israel and the Palestinians? Let’s drill down into the union for more information.
The CFA (the California Faculty Association) claims to be a union which exists to support the teachers California’s colleges and universities. From their own website;
CFA stands for:
- Quality education for our students
- Fairness for those of us who earn our living as teachers
- Policies that ensure access to higher education
That all sounds fairly typical of a teachers union; deliver quality education, get paid a decent salary and push so more people can gain access to the schools (guaranteeing continued employment). No big deal, right?
The union also states;
We are a union of 23,000 professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches who teach in the California State University system. In classrooms on the 23 CSU campuses, CFA members work hard to teach our students the critical-thinking skills, the technical know-how and the cultural insights they need to be thoughtful, productive and artistic participants in our society.
Great! All of that sounds swell. Digging a little deeper into the CFA’s history reveals some surprising ideas.
In 2009 the union adopted a resolution in 2009 titled, “CFA Call for a Halt to Violence Against All Civilians in Palestine and Israel.” The resolution is so patently Anti-Israel, that Leila Beckwith, a former UCLA professor, wrote the following in early 2010 for the American Thinker;
The resolution states seven propositions that form the basis for the actions recommended. The propositions include affirming a moral equivalence between Israel defending its citizens from missile attacks and Hamas firing missiles against Israeli civilians, a misstatement of the conditions in Gaza, an omission of the U.N. Security Council’s condemnation of acts of terrorism, and a false charge against the U.S. of not seeking a just peace agreement.
The suspect resolution was spearheaded by CFA board member Manzar Foroohar, a history professor with an obvious anti-Israel bias. Who is Manzar Foroohar? Lee Kaplan reports for FrontPageMag.com;
Manzar Foroohar, an Iranian immigrant and history professor specializing in the modern Middle East and Latin America at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo—came to the fore. However, the extent of her involvement was never publicly acknowledged. In fact, Foroohar authored and championed the resolution, which was presented by the CFA Peace & Justice Committee (Committee), unanimously adopted by the CFA Board of Directors on February 7, 2009, and passed by the CFA General Assembly in Sacramento on April 4-5 that same year.
Kaplan continues;
A cursory review of Foroohar’s academic work at Cal Poly reveals that she donates a good deal of her time both inside and outside the classroom to demonizing Israel, particularly by promoting boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS). Indeed, Foroohar, along with a number of Middle East studies academics teaching in California, is on the organizing committee for the U.S. Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel, a group that works internationally to promote BDS.
BDS – Boycott, Divestment, & Sanctions. Does that sound like the basic planks of education you might expect a student to be learning in college?
Mr. Kaplan’s research discovered that Ms. Foroohar’s personal bias against Israel has been public for almost a decade, but recently have become more pronounced;
Foroohar gave lectures at California State University, Sacramento, in February 2009 titled, “Occupation of Palestine: The Obstacle to Peace“ and ”Zionism and Peace: Compatible or Contradictory Ideas?” In March 2009, she took part in a panel discussion at the University of Southern California titled, “From la Frontera to Gaza: Chicano-Palestinian Connections.” She presented a slide show and discussion at California State University, Fresno, in October 2002, on “Occupation and Resistance.” In May 2005, Foroohar moderated a discussion session at Cal Poly following a Muslim Student Association co-sponsored screening of several anti-Israel “documentaries,” including Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land.
Based on her continued actions, and the resolution she is alleged to have written and pushed through the CFA, Ms. Foroohar’s personal beliefs on Israel appear to be creeping into the CFA. Again the question should be raised, ‘Why is a teachers union so involved in Middle East politics?’
We looked to the union for answers. Their web page has the following ‘Mission Statement’ (from the CFA’s Peace & Justice Committee);
Our Principles
To protect our members and the lives and livelihoods of working people everywhere, we will advocate, educate and mobilize in the US labor movement for:
• A Just Foreign Policy that will bring genuine security and prosperity to working people. A policy that strengthens international treaties, supports human rights institutions, respects national sovereignty and upholds the right of self-determination for all peoples. $ A foreign policy that solves disputes by diplomacy rather than war. $ A policy that promotes global economic and social justice rather than the race-to-the-bottom, job-destroying, discriminatory practices favored by multinational corporations.
The opening paragraph of the CALIFORNIA Faculty Association says almost nothing about education, instead it focuses on ‘GLOBAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.’ But wait, there’s more. The very next item in the Mission Statement says the following;
• An end to U.S. Occupation of Foreign Countries, replaced by the reconstruction of war-devastated nations with the full support of the international community and the full participation and decision-making power of affected peoples.
Again, nothing about educating students or providing a better working environment for teachers. There must be something about teachers pay and benefits in the next paragraph. Right?
• Redirecting the Nation’s Resources from inflated military spending to meeting the needs of working families for health care, education, a clean environment, housing and a decent standard of living based on principles of equality and democracy.
This one at least mentions the word ‘education’ – even if it is buried among what sounds like the basic promises of most Socialist organizations.
The CFA mission statement wraps up with three final goals;
• Supporting Our Troops and their Families by bringing the troops home now, by not recklessly putting them in harm’s way and by providing decent compensation, veterans’ benefits and domestic policies administered without discrimination that prioritize the needs of working people who make up the bulk of the military.
• Protecting Workers’ Rights, Civil Rights, Civil Liberties and the Rights of Immigrants by promoting democracy, not subverting it. Ethnic, racial and religious profiling and stereotyping must be replaced by policies that promote dignity, economic justice and respect for all working people.
• Solidarity With Workers and their Organizations Around the World who are struggling for their own labor and human rights, and with those in the U.S. who want US foreign and domestic policies to reflect our nation’s highest ideals.
It might be of interest to know that the CFA is also connected to SEIU, the large and powerful union that President Obama told, ‘SEIU’s agenda is MY agenda.‘ Let’s not forget that SEIU reportedly spent $60 million dollars to get Barack Obama elected in 2008.
The CFA is SEIU Local 1983.
Any questions?
H/T to the tireless members of the 9-12Project for bringing this to our attention.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 3:06amCommunists have always worn the union label as their mask. Remember the American labor movement of the early 1900′s? Anyone would be hard pressed to argue against the fact that most labor leaders of that time were communists. The fact that communism has failed in Russia, Easteran Europe, Cuba and many other places will not stop the left wing in America from trying to follow the same path. I understand why the American Left would like to see America communistic, I don’t understand their love affair with Islam and hatefulness of Isreal.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 3:37amYou know, that most of far-left crazies do not believe in any kind of God. It’s more of a statement to the political right, saying “why should your God be more important than Allah?”. They don’t believe in Allah or the Christian God, so it really doesn’t matter to them at all.
The thing is that, our Constitution and all of the Laws of our Land, are based on Judea-Christian concepts. None of the Laws of the USA came from the Islamic religion.
The Judea-Christian religious Laws are all good, like thy shall not kill; thy shall not steal; thy shall not commit adultery; and thy shall not covet thy neighbors wealth. The Jewish and Christian religions, both have these ideals. Islam also has these ideals, but they subjugate females in their religion.
Islam, also has the position that their religion is superior to all other religions. The far-left people haven’t got it yet, but Muslims intend everyone to be Muslim, or dead.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 2:29amWhile I’m a staunch supporter of Israel’s right to exist I do see how (if you take away all purely Biblical arguments) Israel’s heavy-handed methods in some (say again – in some) areas do bring some self inflicted disdain & scrutiny. They certainly need a better public awareness & outreach program if they are going to survive the growing discontent from the world & from within. & teachers’ unions should definitely worry about public education in their jurisdiction & stay out of international politics.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 9:28am“All pro-Israel (or all sane) teachers”
You cannot both be pro-Israel and sane.
You have the internet at your command. You have the largest collection of information and data in the history of mankind at your fingertips. USE IT. Israel is not interested in peace with Palestine and would wipe it off the map if it could sell it. It is aggressively pushing a colonization effort and displacing people who have lived there for a long, long time.
Please note that I am not for the death of every single Jew or the destruction of Israel or whatever you numbskulls will probably type in the response to this post. Both Israel and Palestine are at fault, but while Palestine has tried to actually negotiate for peace (See. The Palestine Papers in which Palestine basically offered Israel EVERYTHING IT WANTED yet Israel still declined this almost self-destructive peace offering) Israel is not in any way interested in that.
Also note that I have no problem with the Israelis or Jews but with the acts of the Israeli government and their government only.
There will be peace in Israel if Israel actually works for peace which has not, to this point, happened. All that happens is Israel intruding more and more into Palestine, the world condemning those actions, America condemning those actions (besides, demanding 1967 borders has been the official policy of American presidents since probably Nixon) and Israel continuing with whatever it wants to do. Some consent needs to be found.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 9:21pm@ROSE-ELLEN
You are woefully ignorant of world history. The land from the Red Sea to Lebanon was all a part of Judea the original homeland of the Jewish race. The Romans destroyed the temple in 70AD and scattered the Jewish people. They then renamed the area “Palestine” the Roman name for Philistia, home of the Phlistines, the Judeans most mortal enemies. The renaming was meant as an insult to the Jews.
If you will read Mark Twain’s description of the area in the late 1800s, he described it as a barren land where almost no one could be found. It wasn’t until Isreal was created that the land began to blossom again.
The UN gave the Jewish people just a part of what was historically theirs for centuries prior to the roman Invasion. It took 2000 years for them to return to THEIR homeland. The Palestinians, listening to the likes of Ahminijad of Iran, are trying to recerate the Holocost all over again. I suggest that you read Grant Jefferies book,” Everlasting Hatred, The Roots of Jihad” to better understand why the Arabs hate Isreal. It is a Satanic hatred, fueled by lunatics just like Hitler, Lenin and Trotsky along with many other anti Semitic rulers of the past.
GOD will protect HIS people.

____________________
I usually find that those who claim to be such ‘critical thinkers’ are often more critical than thoughtful.
I also noted from the policy statement that CFA has to draw a moral equivalence between an attack and responding to one. That seems the only way they can condemn Israel (as they first intend), while seeming to not support terror against her. It’s like saying a person who defends himself against an assault is just as bad or guilty as the assailant.

Yes, I noted that myself. If I was an American parent, I would be alarmed. Actually, I am alarmed anyway, as these political causes, attitudes, and strategies move from country to country gathering strength as they go (”well, this is what they do in [insert nation's names] so it is clearly a good thing”).
As I dig further into this, I note two things; she is far from alone, and she is actively concealing herself. The second is most curious. Why is she (or her supporters) going to this trouble? What do they fear?
They fear being seen, in my opinion, because their agendas cannot survive public scrutiny. They must operate in the background creating laws and practices that will be hard to unpick when the general public finally wakes up. What she and her fellow travellers need is the scorching heat from the blow torch of publicity applied to their buttocks. This was done to Van Jones, Piven, Soros, the SEIU, and others with quite satisfactory results.

You may note in the student’s comments that these teachers score students highly if they agree with them, and reduce the grade if they use their mind and argue. The old adge remains true: Give me a boy until the age of seven, and I will give you the man.

In my humble opinion, I think the “raising up” of the Tea Party, elections last November of the Consvs., the popularity of people like Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, etc., the exposure of corruption & frauds, death of OBL, spiritual revival among the youth (yes, many don’t know about that), all point to our restoration in a few years – with another big win in 2012. Of course I can’t prove any of it & time will tell, but most leave out the divine intervention (which is needed to win) that may happen if God so deems, if a good many repent & return to Him. However, believe there will also be many judgements that we deserve but will help bring many back to Him bc there still are many who serve Him in this nation & have been praying for decades, plus our godly ancestors that He remembers………..& God bless Israel !!!!!

The position of the Right is simple. Any compromise to achieve peace in the Middle East is unthinkable. Only abject subjection, or the death of Palestenians will result in a final solution.
Sorry, peace in the the Middle East, which would rank among the greatest accomplishments in human history, simply isn’t coming that that way. We need to try something different.
