Antisemitism and the Teachers Union
Anti-Israel and anti-American radicals have set college campuses afire in the past two years. In too many places, they turned quads into combat zones, harassed Jewish students in dorms, and shut down debate in classrooms. Now we have a new, even more terrifying problem: The radicals are turning their sights on K-12 classrooms. Last week the National Education Association used its annual conference to adopt a measure that effectively prevents the union's members from 'using, endorsing or publicizing' any educational materials created by the Anti-Defamation League, one of the oldest and leading Jewish organizations in America. For decades ADL curricula has been the gold standard for helping students understand and navigate the complex issues of bigotry and prejudice. Our peer-reviewed programs have helped educators instruct pupils about how bias can grow and mutate over time if left unchecked. We developed our Holocaust education offering, 'Echoes and Reflections,' in collaboration with Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and the USC Shoah Foundation. It offers lessons on the Holocaust and its eternal resonance for all people. One of our main educational offerings, 'No Place for Hate,' is a student-led program used in more than 2,000 schools across the U.S. every year. Through classroom content and extracurricular activities, the program offers a message of inclusion that is entirely apolitical. It's designed solely to bring students together to better understand the differences that too often divide us. Against this backdrop, the NEA's move is both insidious and vindictive. This wasn't about the ADL. It was a clear and unambiguous statement to Jewish educators, parents and children: You don't count. And it perversely takes this stance at a time when anti-Jewish hate is skyrocketing.

Trump hits back with tariff warning
JOHANNESBURG - US President Donald Trump has come up with a whole new policy regarding tariffs. He said in a post on truth social that the US would impose an additional 10% tariff on any countries aligning themselves with the BRICS group of nations and what he calls its Anti American policies. President Cyril Ramaphosa is among leaders attending the BRICS summit that kicked off in Brazil yesterday. South Africa is already facing tariffs of up to 30% on exports to the US if a deal is not struck. Trump's deadline arrives in two days time. The US President announced retaliatory tariffs earlier in the year but then said they were suspended for most countries until 9 July. In the meantime several nations have signed trade deals with America which reduces their tariffs in relation to those first announced, but there's been no news of such a deal with South Africa.

Trump warns countries with ‘anti-American policies' will see tariffs rise
Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional 10 per cent tariff on any nation aligning with the 'Anti-American policies' of the Brics group. The threat was issued via a Truth Social post during the Brics annual gathering in Brazil, where leaders had warned against rising tariffs and protectionism. The Brics group, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has expanded its membership and represents over half the world's population and 40 per cent of its economic output. China responded by stating it opposes tariffs as a tool of coercion, while South Africa argued it is not anti-American and is seeking a trade deal with the US. Trump's administration is reportedly aiming to finalise numerous trade deals before a 9 July deadline for imposing significant 'retaliatory tariffs'.
