Wrt 1, teachers buy out of pocket and request classroom supplies such as tissues, chalk, pencils, erasers, notebook paper, art supplies, graph paper, compasses, protractors, safety scissors, glue, , hand sanitizer, etc
This is a class issue, not a political persuasion issue. Billary balanced the budget how? _Neo_liberalism means what? Liberalism in the real world working definition (not the US populace colloquial meaning) means what?
Google playing both sides.
I should be doing any number of things else, but this topic is bothering me. From what I've found on a quick search, pograms seemed stubbornly persistent, despite the revolutionary stance against, and discouragement of racist sentiment. I'll post links, and if there are refutations, look at them in due course.

And from a Zionist perspective,
I've merely quickly skimmed these myself, but post here to return to read later, and for your perusal, at your leisure.
I feel like if we started a thread discussing this it would be like two AI's hallucinating against eachother.
I certainly can understand that, while also wanting to get to the bottom of this! I'll probably start a new thread about it, but not right now.
Regarding his back story, I find it immensely interesting in that he was racist all around.
Herzl himself also was a very rich dude from a rich family and he certainly didn't face any of the suffering or antisemtism which other Jews faced at the time.
Oh wow! You writing that struck like lightning! Maybe his racism against Jews and Palestinians boils down to classism.
Yes, would you be interested in starting a separate thread for further discussion? I'd also like to clear up my fuzziness. As a US-ian educated before education was quite as bad as it is now, I wouldn't have known about Herzl's attitudes that influenced his work, nor the Balfour agreement, had it not come up for an online discussion that came up with regard to Israel and Palestine in the late nineties or early aughts.
We have on record Biden claiming to encourage ceasefire, and four? of his aids on record saying it never happened.

Theodor Herzl[a] (2 May 1860 – 3 July 1904)[3] was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and lawyer who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state. Due to his Zionist work, he is known in Hebrew as Chozeh HaMedinah (חוֹזֵה הַמְדִינָה), lit. 'Visionary of the State'.[4][5] He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State".[6]

What you're experiencing is cognitive dissonance, and I experienced it, too, when I came to these magazines. Sometimes I still do. I think walking away, getting proper rest, nutrition, and a long walk, other quiet time to sit with yourself and let the competing thoughts quiet, then rereading the thread before making further argument or further asking questions will be helpful to you. You can jot your questions down to ask later.
I think we read into art what we think it means. I love the song, and think it's pretty deep.
