What do you think she is teaching her students? Yes, the same hatred and bloodlust.
“‘We Only Want One Side to Stop Fighting’: Meet the Minneapolis Public School Teacher Who Called For Israel’s Eradication at Socialist Rally,” by Jessica Costescu, Washington Free Beacon, November 1, 2023:
A Minneapolis public school teacher called for the eradication of the Jewish state during an event commemorating “past socialist revolutions,” stating that she does not support a “complete ceasefire” in Israel because she “only want[s] one side to stop fighting.”
Meredith Aby-Keirstead—a social studies teacher at Kennedy High School in suburban Minneapolis—spoke at an Oct. 21 Freedom Road Socialist Organization panel, which aimed to contrast “China’s socialist policies to the imperialist agenda of the United States.” During her speech, however, Aby-Keirstead steered the conversation away from China, opting instead to praise the “wins of Palestinian freedom fighters” and advocate for terrorism against Israelis.
“When I hear people calling for a complete ceasefire, I think, ‘No, that’s not quite right,'” Aby-Keirstead said. “Because we only want one side to stop fighting.” The social studies teacher went on to chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a rallying cry for the Jewish state’s destruction….
Aby-Keirstead, who has worked as a Bloomington Public Schools teacher since 1997, is an active member of a number of far-left activist groups, including the Freedom Road Socialist Organization’s Twin Cities chapter and the Anti-War Committee….
Aby-Keirstead’s pro-Hamas speech at the Oct. 21 panel was revealed by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization’s blog, Fight Back! News. That blog in 2015 expressed support for convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who was involved in the 1969 bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket. The organization itself works to create “a new Communist Party based on Marxism-Leninism” and on Oct. 9 praised Hamas’s attack on Israel as a “good turn of events.”
“Israel, the U.S. government, and much of the media promotes [sic] the idea that the Palestinian resistance is somehow ‘terrorist.’ Nothing could be further from the truth,” the organization said in a statement. “The Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and so many others represent the aspirations of a free people, Palestinians who insist on the end to occupation.”

I think the free world should agree that resistance to the occupation is the goal of free people. Therefore, we must, as a civilized race, declare the occupation of Judea and Samaria by the Arab invaders 1400 years ago to be null and void, they should return to Arabia immediately.

““From the river to the sea, Palestine will cleanse the land of Jews and make them extinct,” a rallying cry for the obliteration of the Jewish state. October 7th was a nod to the German Nazis when Hamas introduced the first use of ovens to burn live Jewish babies to death. Hamas’ visceral hatred of Jews knows no bounds.

Have you heard of muslims opening food stores selling baked jewish babies for muslims to eat for dinner. Eating baked jewish babies also gives them the thrill of the pedophilian nature in that it follows mohammeds actions with children. God should act and destroy the muslims.

What lies behind every Socialist is a Communist wanting to take over.After the 1917 Revolution many devout idealistic Socialists ended up in the Gulags because,laughably,they were a problem for the Communists like Stalin.The Socialists are idealists but the Communists are pragmatists who want to run the show and don’t have time for the type of cosy Socialists we have in the West”s universities..
I never met a hungry socialist in the west.
No marxist economy ever works.
See how the socialists thrive so well off and benefit from our freedoms just like the muslims do.
It is not surprising islam and communism are attracted{but are also at odds}:mass murdering folk,controlling thought,enslaving people is common.

It won’t stop at Israel! The Islamic ultimate goal is to kill & destroy all non-Islamic states – kafirs. According to Islam, all non-Muslims are Satans, wicked, evil people! We in India, know this too well. Time after time in history Hindus have been victims of that type of Brutality faced by Israel – only far worse! & it is still on! Recently there was a spate of beheadings in India on flimsy pretexts. It can happen to any Hindu any time. Worse! politicians maintain a diplomatic silence – fear & reluctance to disturb the vote bank!
Jews are a decent civilized, cultured people – who unfortunately have been victims, of hatred & injustice down the centuries! Muslims are filled with a poisonous hatred for people in general. Look at the injustice to their own womenfolk!
ISRAEL IS THE VICTIM – PALESTINIANS ARE THE AGGRESSORS!! There are 56/57 Islamic states but none of them are willing to take in Palestinians. They are shedding crocodile tears. They want annihilation of Israel – not any benefit for Palestinians!
Palestinians have taken support of the savage Hamas – so by extension, they are
terrorists too! When Hamas uses them as human shields and uses Hospitals & schools to launch rockets Palestinians don’t protest – not ONE! Wrong to differentiate the two! They have rejected peace/settlement every time it was offered!
The huge processions in support of Hamas is shocking & worrying! what is the world coming to? Have we lost our reason? The Arabs are calling for the killing of Jews everywhere! Yet these are the same who are claiming to be victims of hate – Islamophobia they call it – Nothing can be more ironic or more absurd! The left is as hate-filled and blinded by their evil beliefs as Muslims!
UN SHOULD BE DISMANTLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! They have lost their relevance! just a bunch of spineless incompetents! Imagine not having the guts to call out Hamas by name! Cowardice or compromised?!
Anyway let it be clear – ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY! ISRAEL IS FOREVER! ISRAELIS ARE HUMANITARIANS – ISLAM IS A RELIGION THAT VIOLATES THE NATURAL GOODNESS AND NATURAL INCLINATIONS IN A HUMAN BEING – IT IS SURE TO PERISH!!

Spot on, Chandana Chowdhury, a very good summary of the situation with evil, barbaric islam. The human race would be so much better without evil islam poisoning the minds of so many people. If only far more people would wake up to truth about islam then Muslims would be dealt with in the way they deserve to dealt with. Do you think that India might, one day, throw the Muslims out after becoming fed up with the evil actions of the Muslims? My solution is for all non-Muslim countries to slam the door shut on letting the Muslim enemy in, and throw out as many of the Muslim enemy in the way that Burma did a few years ago.
somehistory says
“Anti-War Committee” That, in itself, is a lie. If they only want one side to stop fighting, they still want war…war that won’t end until every non-mozlum is dead. Including all of the people like this foul and ugly creature who are not mozlum.
This ugly snake should be nowhere near any children. Perhaps she would like to go and live in pakistan or afghanistan…uncovered.
tim gallagher says
Good idea, somehistory. Send this evil creature to live out her life in some Muslim country. What an evil idea. Eradicate Israel, the only decent, civilised country in that area of the world. The world would be better without evil creatures like this vile woman who spend their time supporting the barbaric Muslims. I agree with you. She shouldn’t be allowed near any young people. She would only poison their minds with her evil ideas…

Fruken Aby Keirstead, som en annen norsk-amerikaner (riktignok blandet med andre ting), beklager jeg å si at du har bevist at det eneste dummere enn en dum svenske er en smart nordmann.
Another HS Social Studies Teacher says
Alas. Were I not part Norwegian myself, I’d say that back in the 1870’s, we imported too many blockheads from countries where the sun doesn’t shine for a good chunk of the year and many people are blonde. Then again, we needed replacements for those 300,000 Yankees dead in Southern dust and a more damaging number of Sothrons who met their fates in that same conflict.
James Lincoln says
Another HS Social Studies Teacher,
I’m confused.
So who should we have imported back in the 1870s?
Another HS Social Studies Teacher says
I confess. It’s an in-group ethnic joke. The Scandinavians are often portrayed as a big thick in the head, ignorant, and stubborn in Un-PC jokes (ever hear of Ole, Sven, and Lena?)
Of course I’m grateful for the open door the USA gave my North European ancestors. Further, I do not see all of the Scandinavian portion of my very mixed heritage as “blockheads”. It’s just that seeing my Minnesota colleague Ms. Aby-Keirstead apparently admiring China’s socialist policies and praising Hamas,I thought her an insult to my ethnic heritage (one of those last names looks Norwegian) and profession.
Scotsman48 says
Correct me if Im wrong but Im guessing this Butt ugly fat Ass ”Lesbian Teacher” has never traveled outside America, certainly never lived in an Socialist Nation let alone an islamic one so it maybe good for her to go live in Gaza, or Saudi, maybe Kuwait, and teach over there, later she can spend lots of time in Cuba and teach there.
I have been in 6 islamic countries, lived in one, I once lived in West Berlin where the Wall was outside my Kitchen Window… I could walk into East Berlin any day of the Week, and return to the West but the folks in the East side had to stay where they were.
I always noticed that Communists march through the streets of a Capitalist Nation telling everybody how wonderful Communism is but I never see anybody in a Communist Nation marching down the streets telling everybody how wonderful Capitalism is…
I guess that must be because everybody in a Communist Nation is happy and free… right???… LOL…
Kepha says
You are probably right.
I teach HS social studies myself, and weep over what American public education has become.
OLD GUY says
Whats really scary here is that this person is teaching our children.
James Lincoln says
OLD GUY,
At this point, in the USA, parents should either find a conservative private school – or homeschool.
