(DCNF)—Activist organizations are developing curricula instructing teachers and students to be skeptical toward claims of antisemitism and sympathetic to pro-Palestinian causes, documents show.
Two pro-Palestinian organizations, Participatory Action Research Center for Organizing (PARCEO) and Project48, orchestrate programs and disseminate materials that blame “white nationalism” for antisemitism and ask participants to consider the “bad habit” of whiteness, documents obtained by Defending Education (DE) and shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation show. The activist programs are already finding their way into schools.
PARCEO “is a research, resource and education center” that partners with groups and institutions focusing on “educational justice; racial justice; workers’ rights; gender justice; challenging Islamophobia; immigrant rights; health and food justice, and more.” Project48 “was created to center Palestinians in the telling of their own history” and works to provide “educational material, eyewitness testimonies, images, videos and artifacts” to teach about “the ongoing Palestinian struggle against colonial erasure and the return of refugees to their ancestral lands.”
Both organizations have benefited from large, direct grants from Soros-linked Open Society foundations.
The two groups joined forces to create the Palestinian Nakba Curriculum, using the Arabic word for “Catastrophe” to refer to “the creation of Israel in 1948” and the following territorial struggle. The curriculum is meant to be used for “individual classes, for semester-long learning, as theme-specific modules, for presentations, and for workshops and webinars” and touches on topics such as “Settler Colonialism, Zionism, Refugees and Right of Return,” according to the Project48 website.
One session of the curriculum, titled “Nakba in Practice,” directs participants to “consider the history and material consequences of the Nakba, including what’s been hidden and erased, what’s been built over, stolen, destroyed, and what remains,” materials obtained by DE show. The section also covers “indigeneity” and “settler colonialism” in relation to Palestine.
Another section decrying Zionism purports to examine the “pervasive Zionist narrative” behind the Nakba, with slideshows on “the enactment and reality of Zionist colonization in Palestine” and Israel’s “intentionality behind the process.”
“The session also addresses the pervasive Zionist narrative that continues to ‘justify’ the Nakba, despite clear and compelling facts, and experiences of Palestinians,” the description explains.
The final session covers the “ongoing social, political, economic, and cultural forms of resistance in Palestine,” teaching students about “the impact, visions, and connections among movements for justice in Palestine and globally.”
PARCEO has also created the Curriculum on Antisemitism from a Framework of Collective Liberation, which blames antisemitism on “white nationalism” and compares it to “other forms of racism and injustice.”
These curricula are already being put to use in the classroom.
In 2023, the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCORE), a “group of current and former public school educators and their allies committed to fighting for social justice in our school system and society at large,” hosted an event exploring these two programs. More recently, an Oakland Unified School District teacher and member of Jewish Voices for Peace (JVP) helped organize a PARCEO event in October 2025 and invited school board members to participate, emails obtained by DE show. The event was meant to explain “the harmful disuse of ‘antisemitism’ to silence discussion of what is happening in Gaza and throughout Palestine.”
Other materials by PARCEO created in conjunction with JVP portray “white nationalist antisemitic violence” as the primary driver of anti-Jewish hate, warning readers that “white supremacists and white nationalists take advantage” of the anti-Zionism movement “to sow confusion and promote antisemitism, Islamophobia, and racism.”
“[W]hite nationalist violence has been on the rise in the U.S., fueled by anti-immigrant and racist manifestos, sentiments, and conspiracy theories, such as the great replacement theory,” an explainer from PARCEO and JVP reads. “Jews are among the targets of white nationalist violence along with Black people, immigrants, Muslims, and trans and queer people, among others. Our safety is bound together with the safety of all people, and none of us is free if we aren’t all free.”
The groups claim opposition to Zionism is no different from criticizing the “settler colonialism, imperialism and white supremacy at the foundation of the United States.”
“Positionality” curriculum created by PARCEO and uncovered by DE seeks to help participants understand their “own identity in relation to race, class, power, gender, privilege, role and position.” Participants are asked to “Consider an experience … where you were conscious of your race, class, gender, migration status, sexual identity, or any other part of your identity(ies)” and encouraged to discuss how it made them feel.
“This is important for creating an inclusive environment,” the organization insists. “If we don’t reflect on our own identity and how we enter and influence a space, we can unknowingly perpetuate inequality and oppressive power structures.”
Some of the additional resources recommended in the curriculum include a “Phenomenology of Whiteness” paper, which “considers how whiteness functions as a habit, even a bad habit,” and a “White Awareness Handbook For Anti-Racism Training.”

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
