Last I checked, the vast majority of the population supported the Israeli government's actions in Gaza, or thought they didn't go far enough. The Israeli government is not going against the will of the people by carrying out a genocide. Same as in Russia. Germans in Nazi Germany did more to oppose Hitler, from the very start, than what Israelis have done in the last 3, or 80, years.
Nothing. She recognized there was no way to fight back. Her principal just felt the need to tell her that if she were to try to defend herself, she would be the one held to be at fault by the principal. The union similarly did nothing. There is no quicker way to radicalize a pro-union liberal than to be told from their union that they will not defend you against threats of sexual assault at work.
Well exactly, and the democratic party is basically a mouthpiece of the teacher's unions. To criticize the teachers union at all would quickly remove you from the democrat party. My mom has shifted rightward a lot but is not a die-hard republican. She is a die-hard never democrat though. She votes straight ticket against the voter's pamphlet issued by the California's teacher's association every year.
I've read some other stories like this commented throughout the post. It's not far-fetched, cause even if a union is really for the teachers, it has to choose its battles.
I don't think you need to go that far but not punishing teachers for defending themselves from violence would be a good start honestly. Defend yourself from a kid hitting you and you're the one in trouble in most places.
