I've heard so much whining against supposed "liberal indoctrination" in the schools and universities, especially since I never encountered it in undergrad. As a matter of fact, my only brush with indoctrination was in my 12th grade history class, and that was coming from a REPUBLICAN! (yes, there are some of those). But if the teacher in that clip was trying to stimulate discussion, his behavior and demeanor belie his failure in that objective. Not to mention his obviously biased statements with respect to Israel. How many civilians did any of the armed groups kill anyways? Because I've always thought they only targeted military sites (like the King David Hotel, which was being used as a military base), and only then did they warn everybody to get out of the hotel, a warning no one heeded. Which only goes to further my theory that the world loves a dead or dying Jew more than it likes fighting Jews.
