I can give a rats patoot about the conflict over who owns a sandbox craphole of a landmass. My criticism of Israel is based on what really counts, how much in taxes I have to pay. I am tired of my tax dollars being wasted on an ungrateful parasite of a nation while our roads rot and our education system collapses. Time for Israel to stand on her own two feet.

ho ho that is too funny occupation 101 fleecing america 101 uss liberty history the value of arab blood why god loves us more! finnally the world will see the truth ha ha ha

Kids are growing more ingnorant by the day of American history. Why are we wasting time for students and teachers studying about another country that has spies in America and is notorious for spreading propaganda? Stick with the present program

It should be interesting when they study the 60's, and how Israel's repugnant government decided to attack the USS Liberty. Obviously, they'll lie about that too.

"People without any past or future" That sounds like you're not recognizing Palestines right to exist. I think both states have a right to exist and these kinds of statements simply aggrevate an already volatile situation.

That's an interesting point and I agree with it in principle; however, I doubt that an Arab course would be integrated into the training program for educators as easily as this program has been. Hopefully I am wrong.

I'm sure there were many Palestinians dancing on rooftops after 911. An act that I think was shamefull; however, there were also Israeli's caught celebrating on 911 by dancing on roof tops. We haven't heard much about that in our main stream media and I doubt we ever will.

I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE WAKING UP FROM THEIR SLUMBER. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ISRAEL IF THE CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS STOP SUPPORTING THEIR JEWISH BROTHERS?AND I WONDER ALSO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ISRAEL IF THEY HAD TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES WITHOUT THE FOREIGN AID GIVEN TO THEM BY THE AMERICAN GOV'T IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ,LATEST HIGH TECH WEAPONRY AND INTELLIGENCE.JUST WONDERING.MMMMM

I WONDER WHAT OSKAR SCHINDLER WOULD DO TODAY AFTER SEEING WHAT'S BECOME OF ISRAEL?FROM VICTIM TO VICTIMIZER.

Let me vomit for a second... This must be a joke.USA is really sick to let a foreign country feed lies into their own people..Now it's the time to bomb ALL MILITAIRY TARGETS in isreal, before this sickness gets out of hand!

"its economy, the high-tech industry" WOW learning americans not how to invent things but how to receive and steal and than use it as your own capibilities!

Hopefully, the curriculum, besides the high tech and history, will teach the greatest art Israel has mastered: deception, false flag operations, espionage, endless provocations, and in the end, appearing as the victim and making whole world pay the retribution for totally made up suffering. That's really, really, something to learn from this country.

Comments containing incitemen, slander, racist slurs and inappropriate language deemed to violate OUR TERMS OF USEwont't be published. Nor will the truth.

Ynet has been publishing plenty of talkbacks critical of israel. They haven't censored

So they want us to know Isreal as they would like people to know it? What does that mean? Is this some sort of way to deflect bad press off of Isreal by teaching history themselves? Absolutely unreal.

David (#3) is so correct. The Arab world, as Abba Eban so beautifully put it "never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity." The PR of the Saudis and their fellow far left fellow travelers in the U.S. are tne real PR deceptive types.

Well said Sherri. If the Saudis gave a course, would anybody other than oil executives take the course?

See my previous comments in support of David (#3).

where do you get that stupid idea? No one in Israel danced so don't claim something you have no idea about.

Israel would do just fine without the christian support and the US money. It is nice to know though that Christians around the world know who is the tolerant side in the ME. They know they are safe in Israel to practie their religion while this is not the case for Christians living in Arab countries. Learn your facts before going on line commenting.

Israel should teach about the Ethiopian Jews who were brought home by the Israeli gov't. Their unique culture and the fact that they were lost to the Jewish people for so many years deserves attention. Israel indeed is diverisified and eash person brought his unique history and culture. You should be proud of them and the fact that Israel is giving them the attention they deserve.

Maybe while the teachers are in Lebanon they could meet the kindapped Israeli soldiers and the missing ones. No word has been said about their where abouts by the Lebanese...
