New York law forbids requesting or encouraging any public servant, city employee to engage in political activities

PUBLISHED: 00:50 EDT, 22 May 2021 | UPDATED: 04:25 EDT, 22 May 2021A New York City school principal has come under fire after she sent an email to teachers and admin staff that saw her demand sanctions against Israel.

The email was sent during the middle of last weeks conflict between Israel and Hamas.

'If you have been watching the news in absolute horror, you are not alone,' Principal Amanda Bueno told staffers at MS 136 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

'You can take action today by protesting, attending a vigil, making a public commitment to Palestinian Liberation, signing a petition, or calling your government officials to place sanctions on Isreal (sic),' she wrote on Wednesday.

'The time is now to take a stand for those impacted by state-sanctioned violence and crimes against the humanity of the most vulnerable in our world.'

The email included a series of links that directed those who clicked to a 'Teach Palestine' website and another about US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) who tweeted against the Israeli raid on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem that kicked off this latest round of Hamas rocket attacks.

'I opened the email and I was in shock. I felt very targeted and very attacked by her words. These resources she provided, it's propaganda,' one teacher told the New York Post.

'There was nothing in the email about Hamas rockets targeting innocent Israeli civilians.'

The email has now led to calls for Bueno to face some sort of reprimand.

'New York law forbids requesting or encouraging any public servant, city employee, or subordinate public servant/employee to engage in political activities,' wrote lawyer Inna Vernikov, who also sent a letter to the Department of Education asking for Bueno to be sanctioned.

Vernikov said she knew of teachers at MS 136 with 'close family members who live in Israel.'

Not sure I'll ever understand why people give a fuck.

If a "Palestnian" lives in Israel proper, next to Jewish Israelis, does the Iron Dome protect that Palestian?

These are deep questions for Elon Musk.

Facebook has long come in for criticism for not doing enough to clamp down on misinformation and hate speech

Facebook is refusing to remove an advert from its social media platform which claims Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has links to Hamas.

Omar's office reached out to the company to inform them the message was incorrect, with fears if could incite people to make death threats towards the lawmaker.

The advert was made by a pro-Israeli lobbyist group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

In one ad, Omar's face can be seen superimposed onto a scene of Hamas firing rockets towards Israel. The accompanying text reads: 'When Israel targets Hamas, Rep. Omar calls it an act of terrorism.'

The ad is a twist on a tweet made by the congresswoman in which she said that Israeli airstrikes that kill civilians in Gaza was an act of terrorism.

However, Omar did not say that Israeli airstrikes that target Hamas were terrorist acts.

'Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism. Palestinians deserve protection,' she wrote. 'Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don't exist to protect Palestinian civilians. It's unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid.'

Israel has said it takes precautions to narrowly target Hamas and other militant targets in Gaza, but many civilians have been reported killed there by Israeli airstrikes, including dozens of children. Israel and Hamas on Thursday agreed to a cease-fire.

Omar's aides warned Facebook that previous images that tried to link her to Hamas resulted in her receiving death threats.

Aides told the company the ad 'peddles both hate speech and misinformation.'

'Given the number of threats of death and violence the Congresswoman receives on a near-daily basis, it's not just irresponsible - its incitement. Facebook should immediately remove these ads which blatantly peddle both anti-Muslim hate speech and disinformation, and AIPAC should apologize,' Omar's deputy communications director, Isi Baehr-Breen, said in a statement.
