Meet James Whitney Kahn Parker AKA James Parker, Whitney Kahn, James Whitney Kahn, Benjamin Ovitz.
Whitney is yet another pro-Hamas teacher for @SeaPubSchools
He bragged about shutting down I-5 on Sat. for a rally to support terrorists
The "anti Zionist" is a paraeducator at Franklin High School.
After activists were successful in shutting down I-5 for 6 hours, activists like Whitney bragged about their success and not getting arrested thanks to local Democratic politicians lacking the courage to stop them
Whitney also bragged about shutting down the Space Needle and the University Bridge on the last night of Hannukah to support Hamas, a move that snarled traffic for hours
He also appears to have ignored the fact that Hamas terrorists rejected the last 2 ceasefire offers
Days after the Hamas massacre before the IDF operation in Gaza began, Whitney staged a sit in at the office of Democratic Senator Patty Murray
Whitney is no stranger to breaking the law and has a record consistent with activism. He also is active in the defund the police movement.
Whitney claims to be Jewish on social media but seems to only reference the religion when he thinks he can tie it to an activist cause
Whitney is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a radical group that was supporting Hamas the day after the terrorists massacred over 1,200 civilians in Israel and kidnapped over 250 more
He is a devotee of former Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant
Like other members of the teachers' union @SeattleEdAssoc Whitney is a regular at Marxist/socialist protests and was active during the BLM/Antifa riots of 2020.
Hatred of the Jewish state used to be prominently featured on BLM's website

🧵FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY ISN'T FREEDOM TO BLOCK AMBULANCES
Video of the pro-Hamas activists blocking the I-5 freeway in Seattle on Saturday showed an ambulance with its lights on stuck in the 6-mile backup
I found out that it wasn't the only one and no arrests made
The Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) log showed an "AMR incident" was "marked as late" as was the SFD response to another "active incident"
It is unclear if this is the same AMR ambulance or if the log is referencing another incident
it is also unclear what those incidents were
In a statement, an AMR spokesperson said, "AMR did not experience any significant delays during the time I-5 was shut down."
When I asked what an "insignificant" delay was, how many "insignificant" delays there were, and what the incident in question was they did not respond.
Meet Lauren Holloway, a @SeaPubSchools special education teacher at Franklin High School who on Saturday was caught on camera vandalizing a Starbucks with pro Hamas graffiti while wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh
H/T @noaheretz @choeshow
Holloway is a typical leftist activist who was supportive of the George Floyd Riots in 2020 and advocates for socialism/Marxism
She even helped with a project about protest called "Don't Call It A Riot"
Even after schools across the US were reopening following the failure of remote learning during the COVID pandemic, Holloway and @SeattleEdAssoc continued to advocate for schools to remain shuttered. Seattle was one of the last districts to reopen in the US
Meet Aria Ursa. She is an employee of @SoundTransit who is running to be the next Senator from Washington State and her entire platform is about supporting Hamas and hating Jews
Ursa was involved in the failed effort to "Shut Down" the New Year's Eve celebration at the Seattle Space Needle. Instead, activists chanted throughout the event calling for the genocide of Jews
Yesterday, while Seattle crews were clearing a drug & rat infested encampment, despite multiple warnings activists got pepper sprayed for disassembling a fence that was erected for repairs @ Cal Anderson Park
The person getting sprayed was IDed by @choeshow as far-left activist Aidan Carroll a regular at protests who attended @UW & is passionate about "affordable housing, climate action, decolonization, ecological rewilding & horizontally organizing with consensus-based voting"
Carroll & other activists were upset that the remnants of the deadly 2020 Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone which they called a "BLM Garden," were getting cleared so the park could be repaired and cleaned
Pro-Hamas activists are planning "12 Days of a Ceasefire Choir" action events targeting politicians & Christians, the day Hamas rejected yet another ceasefire offer.
These actions aren't about a ceasefire, they're about hating Jews & Christians
In addition to holiday classics such as "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," activists have also ripped off Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to "All I Want for Christmas is For You to Recognize Christian Hegemony"
The lyrics are filled with antisemitism & historically inaccurate claims like Jesus was Palestinian. He was from Judea & the area was renamed Syria-Palestina by the Romans 150 years after he died
Like H*tl*r these appear to be the art school rejects, their lyrics & tempo suck
Jonathan Choe @choeshow obtained video and court docs of the incident.
Bellevue Police were called to Tillicum Middle School last month after parents reported a tall female wearing a hijab causing a disturbance in the drop-off area.
A parent and her sons were holding signs advocating to stop the closure of the school when Gardheere allegedly grabbed the sign from one of the children while screaming “Free Palestine” & "Black Lives Matter”
She walked off to confront a man in his car dropping off his kids.
