[quote]According to the families of four 11-year-old Jewish
girls at the school, another 11-year-old classmates told the
girls "revenge is beautiful," and "all Israelis and Jews should
be killed."[/quote]
It is that simple.
[quote]"Kids are innocent, and the fact that our 11-year-olds
are losing their innocence at that age, it's such a shame," said
Rabbi Joshua Kalev.[/quote]
The kids who made the statements are the innocent ones who
intuitively understand that evil should be eradicated as
thoroughly as possible! It is adults (including Kalev) telling
them that such thinking is wrong that makes kids lose their
innocence!

[quote]The shocking support among young adults for Hamas’
assault draws on historic ignorance and crude postmodern notions
of justice and victimhood, in which torture and kidnapping were
rebranded a justifiable response to “colonial
privilege.”[/quote]
Why should retaliatory violence not be a justifiable response to
initiated violence?
(Also, punishment is not "torture". The aim of torture is to
alter behaviour via inflicting pain. The aim of punishment is
simply to inflict pain because that is what the targets
deserve.)
[quote]In 1978, alarmed by test results from poor, minority
students at a Richmond community college who were ignorant of
foundational historic figures and events, scholar E.D. Hirsch
began researching the role of background knowledge in reading
comprehension.
...
Those engaged in preparing a new generation of teachers rejected
Hirsch’s belief in the importance of knowledge as “elitist,
Eurocentric and focused too heavily on rote memorization,” as a
Virginia magazine profile of the famed UVA professor described.
Indeed, a decade later, one of us taught alongside the genial,
soft-spoken Hirsch, only to see fellow UVA education school
faculty quietly steer their students away from this dangerous
figure.[/quote]

Well done Counterculture-era teachers for rejecting Hirsch!

[quote]As a teacher said to one of us recently regarding
developments in Israel and Gaza: “Many kids have little to no
understanding of the historical context. I feel overwhelmed
trying to explain things to them in a side comment here or
there.”[/quote]
Here is all the historical context involved. They stole the land
the first time:

[quote] [quote]Daniel Gordis, senior vice president at the
Shalem College in Jerusalem
…
the history of Jews and Israel should not be viewed through
the same lens as the racial and political history of the United
States. Israel’s experience is distinct, he said, because of
Judaism’s biblical ties to its land[/quote]
Translation: “Because we stole the land the first time, we
should be allowed to steal it a second time.” Yes, really:
Book of Joshua – Wikipedia
[quote] A powerful multi-national (or more accurately,
multi-ethnic) coalition headed by the king of Hazor, the most
important northern city, is defeated with Yahweh’s help. Hazor
itself is then captured and destroyed.
…
Joshua “carries out a systematic campaign against the
civilians of Canaan — men, women and children — that amounts to
genocide.”[61] In doing this he is carrying out herem as
commanded by Yahweh in Deuteronomy 20:17: “You shall not leave
alive anything that breathes”. The purpose is to drive out and
dispossess the Canaanites, with the implication that there are
to be no treaties with the enemy, no mercy, and no
intermarriage.[7]:175 “The extermination of the nations
glorifies Yahweh as a warrior and promotes Israel’s claim to the
land,” while their continued survival “explores the themes of
disobedience and penalty and looks forward to the story told in
Judges and Kings.”[42]:18–19
…
Joshua has become an iconic figure for the Jewish Zionist
movement,[78] and many Israeli settlements sit on land taken by
force from Palestinians.[79] David Ben-Gurion saw in the war
narrative of Joshua an ideal basis for a unifying national myth
for his new State of Israel, framed against a common enemy, the
Arabs.[80] He met with politicians and scholars such as Bible
scholar Shemaryahu Talmon to discuss Joshua’s supposed conquests
and later published a book of the meeting transcripts; in a
lecture at Ben-Gurion’s home, archaeologist Yigael Yadin argued
for the historicity of the Israelite military campaign pointing
to the conquests of Hazor, Bethel, and Lachish.[80] Zionism thus
presented the 1948 war (the war which saw the creation of the
State of Israel) as a “miraculous” clearing of the land based on
Joshua, and the Bible as a mandate for the expulsion of the
Palestinians.[81][/quote][/quote]
and then they stole it a second time with British assistance:

[quote]To recap, the territory bequeathed to Israel by the
Balfour Declaration:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration
was from the territory covered by the British Mandate for
Palestine:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_for_Palestine_(legal_instr
ument)
which itself refers to British colonial territory of Mandatory
Palestine:

If property belongs to A, but is stolen by B who then gives it
to C, C has no just ownership of it. On the contrary, if C is
aware that it is stolen property and yet accepts it (without
immediately returning it to A), C is complicit in the
theft.[/quote]

[quote]This teacher knows that geography, history, religion,
economics, and philosophy are essential to understanding the
context of these attacks. But these are subjects that too few
schools teach coherently or consistently. Last year K-12
teachers told RAND that it’s more important for civics education
to promote environmental activism than “knowledge of social,
political, and civic institutions.”[/quote]
Environmental activism also helps to understand Israel vs
Palestine:

Who should be genocided first on environmental considerations?
[quote]As academic rigor and traditional norms have retreated,
the space has increasingly been filled by moral relativism and
contempt for Western civilization.[/quote]
It is you who lack academic rigour. Moral relativists would
logically not have contempt for Western civilization as they
would find it impossible to consider Western civilization either
better or worse than any other civilization. It is anti-Western
moral absolutists (a.k.a. True Leftists) who are able to clearly
say that Western civilization is by far the most inferior
civilization in all of history, and hence have contempt for it.
[quote]The result is progressive students who hail Hamas as an
ally[/quote]
No, these are regressive students:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/leftists-against-progressivism/
Progressive students are the ones who look forward to quantum
computing, AI and space travel. No one thinks Hamas is
contributing to any of these fields. We like Hamas precisely
because they are not contributing to these fields!
