Canada’s largest private high school recently organized a genocide solidarity trip in which students cooked for Israeli soldiers. In a sane world, the school’s charitable status would be revoked.
At the start of March, 36 TanenbaumCHAT students traveled to a state that has slaughtered 15,000 children over the past seven months. The Toronto high school described it as a “Solidarity Mission to Israel”. In its description of the trip the school reports that students were “BBQ-ing for soldiers on an army base”.
The group also met privately with Israeli President Isaac Herzog who reportedly told them, “You are here — the first school since 7/10 — standing with us, and we stand with you. There are many voices against us, but I say to you all, be proud, stand strong. Together we will prevail.”
The students that participated in the “Solidarity Mission” reported back to the entire school about visiting a state committing genocide.
In another pro-war extracurricular, TanenbaumCHAT sent “almost 700” students on fifteen buses to the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs December 4 pro-genocide rally in Ottawa. The school also sent 150 students to a November 15 rally in Washington, D.C. promoting Israel’s killing in Gaza.
As Israel has unleashed a holocaust in Gaza, the school has repeatedly posted to its Facebook about initiatives it has organized to support that country. They recently hosted a “FUNDfair to raise money for Israel” and all grade 12s were given a copy of Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and the Delegitimization of Israel Noa Tishby’s book Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth. The head of the colonial Jewish Agency and a mother of a captive in Gaza have also spoken at the school. An April 18 Passover message by the school’s head, Jonathan Levy, focused on the genocide in Gaza, describing “the centrality of Israel” to TanenbaumCHAT. (more...)
