StandWithUs Mobilizes Pro-Israel Rally Against NEA Resolutions in Philadelphia

StandWithUs Organizes Pro-Israel Rally in Philadelphia

StandWithUs organized a significant rally in Philadelphia, drawing over 150 supporters in opposition to resolutions being considered at the National Education Association's Representative Assembly (RA). The RA, hosting more than 6,000 delegates, is deliberating on several resolutions, notably one asserting that anti-Zionism does not equate to antisemitism and another endorsing BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) against Israel.

The rally served to enlighten delegates about the implications of these resolutions, highlighting StandWithUs' stance against what they perceive as divisive and harmful measures. David Smokler, StandWithUs' Director of K-12 Educator Outreach, expressed gratitude towards the participants, emphasizing their role in preserving cultural heritage and historical truth. He confidently stated, "We showed that our culture and our history will not be erased. We are confident that the vast majority of delegates will vote against these harmful and divisive resolutions.”

The event underscored a robust response from pro-Israel advocates, aiming to influence the outcome of the RA's deliberations. It marked a concerted effort by StandWithUs to defend Israel's reputation and to challenge perspectives that they argue misrepresent antisemitism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As debates continue within the NEA assembly, the rally stands as a testament to the active engagement and advocacy efforts of pro-Israel supporters in shaping public discourse and policy decisions.
