I'd settle for Charlie at least once in a while saying that the vast majority of us do our jobs the right way and get a hell of a lot of positive outcomes for the many students who look to us to help prepare them for a successful future.

I'd settle for Charlie at least once in a while saying that the vast majority of us do our jobs the right way and get a hell of a lot of positive outcomes for the many students who look to us to help prepare them for a successful future. Sadly, that seems not to be a part of his arsenal as he defaults into personal biases and settles for the intellectually lazy approach of painting us all with a very broad brush ("colossal moral failure").
We are being asked consistently to put ourselves in Israeli & Jewish shoes; but no-one at the Bulwark is asking us, or themselves, to imagine the Palestinian side. Why is that?
Charlie, bless him, continues to deliberately conflate being pro-Palestine with being anti-Hamas, although he for once didn't mention the beheaded babies that are at best dubious and are still, after two months, not verified. Yes, Palestinians did elect Hamas more than 15 years ago and if your entire family had just been obliterated by an American-built bomb fired deliberately on your apartment building by the IDF, you would quite possibly express support for Hamas. That doesn't mean that all Palestinians support the Hamas raid of 10/7 which was and should be condemned as utterly wrong. However, that doesn't make Israel right in its campaign to obliterate Hamas by bombing the entire Gaza Strip into nothing but rubble, killing many, many thousands of people and creating a humanitarian disaster for those still alive.

You are right there. I know many fine teachers who teach critical thinking and don't pontificate as if they had all the answers.
