USA (VINnews)-Leftist Democrat Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), has ignited significant controversy over the weekend with remarks suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shares responsibility for the brutal hamas murder of six hostages, including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who were found brutally executed by Hamas.

Weingarten, a prominent figure known for her stance on school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday to express her views. Her comments came just a day after the discovery of the hostages’ murdered bodies in a tunnel in the Gaza Strip, following an operation by Israeli forces.
“Our hearts are breaking for the families of the hostages Hamas murdered,” Weingarten wrote in her post. However, she went on to assert, “At the same time anger must be placed at Netanyahu’s feet for his refusal to consummate [a] cease fire [sic]/ hostage release deal.”
The post quickly sparked outrage, with many criticizing Weingarten for appearing to place blame on Netanyahu amid a highly sensitive and tragic situation. Critics argue that her comments may shift focus from Hamas’s role as the perpetrators of the violence.
I guess WW2 is the British fault for not surrendering to the natzis and the Americans fault for not surrendering to Japan
It comes as no surprise that the democratic nominee is seen surrounded by these far leftists. Just an observation. BEWARE.
This is the face of our educators in NYC. And a jew to boot…
typical DemocRAT – she goes along with all the other Socialists / DemocRATS
Yet another JINO scum
Typical JINO democrat scum.
May she experience what the hostages and victims of 10/7 experienced. Maybe then she would sing a different tune.
why not blame the real culprits, Iran, Hamas, Biden/Harris. The only mistake Bibi made was not leveling Gaza into a parking lot on Oct 8th. Why not revist history, appeasment never solved anything, not with Wilson, Chamberlin or the anti-semetic FDR.
Have respect for her. She’s a rebitzen.
She changed completely, she wasn’t like this years ago, I met her then.
Today was Labor Day. VP HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN campaigned all day in PA and Ohio in front of UNIONS. Trump and his Project 2025 stayed on the golf course. Harris up 4% everywhere.
