WATCH: School Board Member Calls Iwo Jima ‘Evil,’ Referencing WWII Battle

Amy Furr 26 Feb 2023

A Virginia school board member recently claimed that Iwo Jima, when the United States military claimed victory over the Japanese enemy during World War II, was “evil.”

Abrar Omeish was elected to the Fairfax County school board in 2019, and made her comments during a meeting on Thursday, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

According to video footage shared by the Fairfax County Parents Association, Omeish said:

    There’s also a lot of history in February. A number of community members reach out to me, and just a few days ago was Japanese Remembrance, something for us to certainly reflect on as we learn our history and think about it. The days when Iwo Jima unfortunately happened, and set a record for really what, I hate to say, human evil is capable of. And so that’s something to remember, especially actually in advance of Holocaust Remembrance Day which is coming up, and just so many moments for us to think about what human beings are capable of, and how we can turn the tide, and turn the trajectory to make sure that we’re building better.

Thirty years ago, Fairfax County boasted some of the best public schools in the nation.  Then, Democrats took over.

Yup.  That was why my Mom moved to Fairfax back in the early ‘80s.  It has definitely fallen far since then.

The only evil present at Iwo Jima were the Japanese.

Now, now, we aren't supposed to call the Japanese evil, it's not like they enslaved people, forced them to labor until they died, raped and forced women to be sex workers, performed vile experiments and torture including starvation on those they enslaved and prisoners of war like the Germa.....oh wait
