100% Correct. Not teaching history is a way of suppressing the truth

[@rogeralsop3479]

Excellent two men.

[@FUToob]

My school Superintendent, who was previously my school Principal, said that we did not need to teach about World War 1 and WW2. He also told our department to stop giving students time for "Silent Sustained Reading," which was wonderful, and there was response writing involved. He was pushed up by the idiots in power. His children and now trouble. One was sent back to his home nation because the police were looking into his illegal activities. The other is a mental mess. Wife had to leave early and return, now the Superintendent is leaving. My school painted rainbow murals, promoted woke, has gone crazy. Education is a disaster.

@rupert5390 Your comment confirms @funguykel's statement. No idea what genocide is but leaving uneducated comments. If you want to stand up against actual genocides that are currently taking place before our eyes. The Kurds in northern Syria need your help. The Yazidis in Iraq need your support. The Uriguds in China depend on support. And many others. Oh sorry, I forgot they weren't calling for the final solution to the Jewish question. Then of course you can't be on their side.

I grew up in a Protestant family in Northern Ireland starting in the fifties. At elementary school we started to learn history. By the time I went to junior high we were being taught English history and the languages that were offered were French and German. My next door neighbor and best friend was raised in a Catholic family. At convent he was taught Irish history and by the time he attended Christian Brothers at about twelve the languages he was being offered were Latin and Gaelic. So here we were kids growing up next door to each other being taught two totally different histories. We still talk about this today.

The Hashemite king of Jordan back in around 69 kicked the PLO out after they tried to overthrow him as being insufficiently anti Israeli. The Lebanese foolishly offered the Arafat gang shelter only to have them start the 80s civil war that destroyed that once beautiful nation. There's good reasons for no Arab state wanting Palestinians in their homeland.

There are a few traits that apply to so many humans that it is fairly safe to say that they apply to everyone. (This make them exploitable.). One of them is the desire, even the need, for attention, respect, or one of its many manifestations. This is a trait that has evolutionary roots starting with the need for the young to learn from their elders in the increasingly complex hierarchies of life. Humans, being I think the most complicated and advanced species of life, have a need for the most complex versions of this trait. Skip a few details along the logical path, and you end up with the fact that people like to have opinions, to be noticed and listened to. This probably kicks in some reward mechanisms that go beyond the original survival advantages. Knowledge of history is basic to mankind's ability to make use of the lessons of the past. At some point, society has offered people the luxury and social benefits of having an opinion that is paid attention to without a basis in history, among other things. Social media excels at this. You can be a sage writ small, even large, in your own mind, by simply adopting opinions of influencers and anyone who apparently likes and agrees with you. It does not take hours to decades of study and learning to skip most of the process of incorporating some of life's lessons into your toolbox of sagacity. You can form or adopt an opinion in seconds for the drug to kick in. Obviously, this also applies to me. I need to stop now because the JOC (Judge of Comments) has turned on his dark face as my warning that my comment was getting too complex, long, demanding of greater intellectual resources, or offensive. I have broken the sound bite (or increasingly byte) barrier and am in danger of flaming out.

The same lies are being spread about Israel now as what was spread about white controlled South Africa 50 yrs ago. Apparently whites were treating the black population like animals and committing mass geonocide on them. Anyone who lived in SA at the time knows that this was not the case. But the narrative takes its own form. Black people were much safer back then than they have ever been since 94.

Not history from 1947, look at the history of the Middle East area from the mid-1800s onward. It shows there wasn't much there, the Ottoman rulers didn't care much about it, the Arabs that were there were towns/villages overseen by strongmen and it could be called a region governed by anarchy. Egypt will never allow the Palestinians back in after what they did during the Sadat years that ended in Sadat being assassinated. Similar with Jordan, when Jordan allowed them to settle in their territory and all they got was an attempted coup.

Egypt did open up the door. After the results of the Arab spring, when the USA supported government of Egypt was overthrown. That didn't last long as the USA also supported the overthrow of that democratically elected government. That put the Egyption blockade of the Gaza border back in play. Accordintg to the Cato Institute: "Since Cairo and Israel signed a peace treaty as a result of the Camp David Accords in 1978, the U.S. has, through taxpayer money, delivered over $50 billion in military and $30 billion in economic assistance to Egypt, with Washington citing the need to preserve “regional stability.” Coupled with weapons sales and other forms of defense cooperation, this unwavering assistance from Washington directly implicates the United States in the ruthless policies of Egypt’s dictatorship." One of the items Egypt agreed to was the border blockade with Gaza. If you're going to teach history, guys, you have to teach all of it. As far as the trope about Palestinians not accepting the offers of self-government, they were thrown off their land, then told if they accepted that, they could have a government on what was left to them. Of course, that didn't really work either, because Israel has been building settlements in the West Bank since 1967.
