Tomorrow, the "Wheels of Justice" tour (see: The anti-Semites on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...) will be arriving at Andover High School, otherwise known as Hamas High, thanks to and courtesy of, physics teacher Ron Francis. I think we have a pretty good idea as to who'll be in to propagandize the kiddies by taking a look at who the named speakers are for the following day's event at College Ave Methodist Church in Somerville (Francis's other stalking-ground):
Dr. Hassan Fouda is an independent science consultant and former Assistant Director at Global Research and Development, Pfizer, Inc. He was also a member of the Board of Directors of Tandem Lab, a Contract Research Organization based in Salt Lake City Utah. Currently, Hassan, serves on the Board of Directors of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolition (ICAHD-USA: www.ICAHD.org). He was a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Right to Return Coalition [Al Awda] and served as the Connecticut chair. He is also active in several educational and interfaith peace advocacy groups including the Council for National Interest (CNIonline .org), If Americans Knew (IfAmericansKnew.org) and the Connecticut based We Refuse to be Enemies (Jews, Moslems and Christians in Coalition for Peace)...
Joe Carr is an anti-oppression activist and performance artist from Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated with a BA from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington in 2004, having organized with direct-action movements such as Earth First, Food Not Bombs, and Arts in Activism. In the last three years, he’s worked with the International Solidarity Movement in Palestine where he witnessed Israeli soldiers murder international activists Rachel Corrie and Tom Hurndall, and with the Christian Peacemaker Teams in Palestine and Iraq, he is friends with those currently held hostage. This is his third national speaking tour, he's appeared in several documentaries, has had his writing published in major media outlets, and just released his second album of music and poetry.
Lovely crew. I didn't know you could pack as many anti-Semitic, anti-Israel organizations into one person as are packed into Dr. Fouda, and as for the presence of Joe Carr...is Ron Francis hoping to create more Rachel Corries from the fertile ground of Andover High? The ISM is a group that intentionally puts young peoples' lives at risk with the hope of manufacturing a propaganda incident. Where are the parents in Andover?
Update 10/27: As of this moment, it's my understanding the appearance has been cancelled.
