1 of 3. Accusing educators who teach about Palestine of being antisemitic is part of a pattern, especially in the US, of anti-Palestinian racism. According to The Institute for the Understanding of Anti-Palestinian Racism https://antipalestinianracism.org/, anti-Palestinian racism includes:

• Denying the Nakba;

• Justifying violence against Palestinians;
• Failing to acknowledge Palestinians as an Indigenous people with a collective identity, belonging and rights in relation to occupied and historic Palestine;
• Erasing the human rights and equal dignity and worth of Palestinians;
• Excluding or pressuring others to exclude Palestinian perspectives, Palestinians and their [non-Palestinian] allies;
• Defaming Palestinians and their [non-Palestinian] allies with slander such as being inherently anti-semitic, a terrorist threat/sympathizer or opposed to democratic values.
