Those Who Forget History...And What About Those Who Were Never Taught?

Are Israelis truly taught history? History of the 20th century? History of the Arab-Israel conflict before there was an Israel?

The Arabs do quite well in this area:

Arab Islamist Clerics to Palestinians: Slaughter the Jews Like You Did in 1929

And in detail:

Sheik Himam Sa'id, Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan:

"Oh noble Gaza, raise your head high. You have made the Muslims raise their heads high. And you, people of Hebron - you are now waging a war against the Jews. You are well-versed in this. We saw how, on a day in 1929, you slaughtered the Jews in Hebron. Today, slaughter them on the land of Hebron. Kill them in Palestine. Arise, oh people of Palestine, all the people of Palestine - arise in defense of your Al-Aqsa Mosque, arise in defense of Nablus and Hebron. Arise and face the [PA] Preventive Security forces. Fear them not, for they are rabbits. They are wolves, so fear them not, oh lions.


They 'know' their history.

Do Israelis?

Not since Yuli Tamir removed the study of Jewish History as a separate subject and included it in the larger "world history" curriculum.
