1. Israel wants to shut teachers up
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (01.25.14)
What about tomorrow? Shutting us up will only make us stronger
2. Kiryat Tivon l of last leftwing ghettoes
TheDissapearingLeft ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.26.14)
3. Teachers saying that Israel belong to palestinians..
lucifer69   (01.26.14)
has no place in this country and should be removed. I am appalled that the Tivon population demonstrate for this miserable soul.
4. People expressing those comments and more
Paul ,   Naples,FL   (01.26.14)
Coming from a teacher should be send to live with the palestinians, there is no place for him is Israel, perhaps the IDF is not the most moral army in the world, but the are accountable for saving jews life, and for making us fell safe in a place surrounded by enemies.
5. Had the weed been legalized in K.Tivon?
ariel ,   Maale Adumim, Israel   (01.26.14)
How did they get 400 lefties there?
6. Hebron not right wing
Adam   (01.26.14)
To say that a class trip to Hebron is right wing indoctrination is absurd. Is a trip to Jerusalem right wing? He disparages service in the IDF. That isn't right or left. It is just plain wrong.
7. Gossipmongering
N ,   N   (01.26.14)
To all would-be gossipers: What Peter says about Paul tells us more about Peter than about Paul. (René Descartes)
8. Not sure
Ephraim ,   Jerusalem   (01.26.14)
I am not sure about this. When I was in college, we had a radical left-wing teacher, but he was up front about it and told us he did not need us to agree with him, just to make a good argument either way. That seems fine to me. Perhaps this would be more appropriate in a university setting than high school. Discussion of different viewpoints is important. That to me is our biggest problem in Israel, everyone has their opinion and does not want to listen to the other. Left hates right, secular hate religious. We should be able to talk to each other, even if we don't agree.
9. Riot? Do you read these headlines?
Alon   (01.26.14)
May agree or disagree, but it sure as hell was not a riot.
10. Verta
(01.26.14)
Verta said that the State belongs to the Palestinians. He is therefore adopting the narrative of Hamas, an organization that Egypt has outlawed. Support for the Hamas narrative is tantamount to incitement to genocide.
11. Piron is changing the rules to allow propaganda in schools
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (01.26.14)
A teacher's role is to teach. That's all to provide students with the FACTS & let them make up their own minds. It is not a place to express their opinion or to indoctrinate students with propaganda, left-wing or right-wing. Piron wants to change the status quo & allow propaganda in schools.
12. Levkowicz:more concerned about the manner in which
Moshe ,   Usa   (01.26.14)
the procedure was handled" states that he doesn't complain about the teachers "leftism" so he (Levkowicz) won't be lambasted by leftists. How uncourageous is Levkowicz.
13. #11 not changing, it's always been so
(01.26.14)
