Overview

• The National Education Association sent members resources for teaching about Indigenous peoples that linked to a Native Land Digital map labeling Israel as Palestine.
• An NEA spokesperson said the union reviewed the material, condemned the content as falling short of its standards, removed the link, and contacted the host organization.
• The Anti-Defamation League and other groups shared screenshots and criticized the material as erasing Israel and promoting antisemitic tropes.
• The New York Post reported that a Native Land Digital map on the NEA site still labeled Israel as Palestine and described it as indigenous to the land.
• Advocacy group NAVI alleged the email also linked to material defending the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack, while critics called for a full explanation and an apology.
