The Massachusetts Teachers Association is under fire from teachers in the state and Jewish organizations after its board of directors voted in favor of a motion accusing the United States of helping Israel with genocide. A smaller teachers union in the state‚ the Newton Teachers Association (NTA)‚ distanced itself Tuesday from the actions taken by the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA)‚ which represents more than 100‚000 educators in the state. It said the motion passed by the MTA’s board of directors was an example of “antisemitic dog-whistling” and said that it could lead to more Jew-hatred. “Some will defend this motion‚ and deny that to accuse Israel of engaging in a ‘genocidal war on the Palestinian people’ will provoke further antisemitism‚ or deny that the very use of the word ‘genocide’ to characterize the actions of a people who experienced the Holocaust is callous‚” NTA’s statement said.  “However‚ the motion approved by the MTA Board will provoke further antisemitism‚ and it is callous‚” it added‚ demanding that the MTA retract the motion that called for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the American government’s “complicity.” “As an educators’ union‚ we must take a stand with our union siblings‚ and promote peace and justice in the region by calling for an end to our government’s complicity with Israel’s genocidal assault on the people of Gaza and intent to take over their territory‚” the MTA statement reads.  The Massachusetts Teachers Association board of directors voted on a statement accusing the U.S. government of being complicit in genocide in Gaza. “How many deaths‚ how many more children must die‚ before we take a stand? Silence is complicity‚” the MTA statement adds. The union is also facing criticism from Jewish groups in the state. The CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of greater Boston (JCRC) called it “irresponsible” to have ceasefire resolutions that do not “also include an explicit and unconditional condemnation of the Hamas terrorist attack.” “Any such resolution that does not demand a return of the hostages or call for removal of Hamas as a terrorist organization fails to address the reality of the war and further ensures violence without a path for peace‚” Jeremy Burton told The Daily Wire. “The MTA’s ceasefire resolution does not address any of these realities. We expect better from our educational partners.” READ MORE: VIDEO: Inside The Day-Long Terrorist Siege On Israel’s Sderot Police Station NTA‚ which operates under the umbrella of the MTA‚ also criticized MTA for not including mention of Hamas. “The motion and rationale approved by the MTA Board captures how the tragedy impacts many innocent Palestinians in Gaza‚” NTA’s statement says. “But the statement fails completely to hold in mind the atrocities against Israelis on October 7‚ the complexity of the situation‚ and the trauma‚ pain‚ and fallout the Israeli‚ American‚ and international Jewish communities are experiencing.” Newton‚ a Boston suburb‚ is considered one of the most Jewish cities in the United States‚ with Jews making up between 20-30% of the population‚ according to Forward. Andrea Levin‚ the executive director of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) called MTA’s statement “unconscionable” for accusing Israel of genocide.

Congress passed the annual defense policy bill this week‚ authorizing $886 billion for a host of national security programs for the current fiscal year that began on October 1 — about 3% higher than the previous year’s levels. The Democrat-led Senate approved the legislation‚ known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)‚ in a 87-13 vote on Wednesday‚ and the GOP-controlled House followed suit by passing the legislation in a 310-118 vote on Thursday‚ sending the legislation to President Joe Biden for a signature. The final NDAA‚ a compromise of the House and Senate version that came out of the conference process‚ sets national security policies with a heavy focus on boosting the military‚ improving technology development‚ and countering U.S. adversaries such as Russia‚ China‚ Iran‚ and North Korea. “At a time of huge trouble for global security‚ passing the defense authorization bill is more important than ever‚” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “It will ensure America can hold the line against Russia‚ stand firm against the Chinese Communist Party‚ and ensures that America’s military remains state of the art at all times‚ all around the world.” Within its many provisions‚ the NDAA boasts a 5.2% pay raise for members of the military — the largest bump in 20 years — sections that seek to restrain facets of “woke” ideology‚ pared-down UFO disclosure language‚ a four-month extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)‚ the authorization of $600 million to boost a Ukraine security assistance program spread across the next couple years‚ and much more. The NDAA does not provide budget authority‚ which is given in appropriations legislation‚ and it is separate from the supplemental national security package being debated in Congress at the behest of Biden. Democrats are trying to pass more than $100 billion in funds for Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and more‚ but Republicans demand “transformative” border security reforms be included in it. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Counted among the NDAA’s opponents were many Republicans and some Democrats. Some cited objections to the temporary extension of FISA Section 702‚ which has long stirred privacy concerns‚ and the additional funds for Ukraine. Others argued that the NDAA did not do enough to crack down on “woke” initiatives‚ the “radical climate agenda‚” and taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries. “The NDAA is a BAD deal‚” Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) said in a post to X.
