He is very educated and open minded, yet realistic, I like how he talked about the palestinian and jewish case.. and he said, which surprised me and the jewish kids as well.. he even said to them, dont be surprised for what Im going to say, and just listen.. that the Jewish may be just as guilty as the palestinian.. then he talked about some agenda which got me all confused.. he also complained how the US has done nothing to help on either sides lately, and how the UN hasent done nothing either.. Just a comment on how you guys should be educated enough and face reality.. I know it could hurt you or your patriotism, but you have to really look at things from the other point of view, and not the one that you are exposed to.

OK you didn't really give me anything to work with on that...

I mentioned before that being jewish a religion. You can be born a jew, but not know anything about what it is to be jewish, or identify with jewish problems etc when your life is not involved within the community at all. This of course does not mean your teacher is wrong.

But you didn't bother to tell us what he said exactly... An agenda? from what I know, there is no agenda on the jewish side as some political conspiracy. I am jewish, live in Israel, and I know whats going on with my people, and there is no agenda as far as something conspirical or something like that..

If you mean agenda like America has an agenda to further the country along, then we are guilty of planning a future

Remember, the jews are all different. Each one has his own mind, I guess that is what I like the most, is that each Jew will approach the world in his own way, and if they decide to look into jewish literature, and learn from jewish teachers (rabbi's) then they will begin to question the lives they live sometimes, if they realize the lives they live are bad. For instance, I was wasting my life, being non-productive. Once I was advised to look into my life and see whats not working, I found it and worked it out.

Doing this searching for objective truth process has enabled me to get to new levels. Even on this board here, I realized my emotion was stoping me from being effective so I changed my approach.

about communism, Stalin was in Russia, but we have other dictatorships. Cuba, N. Korea are just a few....

that makes u a bonifed left-winger. All about liberating our rights to freedom. the only thing in a left-wingers way for 'fixing' the world is morality, and reasons for doing things...
