Ok, you saw a program that interviewed some fringe Israelis, they were probably Kahanists. I'm sure there are some Israelis that think that way, but they are an extreme minority. Anyway, I wasn't talking about what was being taught in the homes- I'm talking about the Palestinian public educational system. The schools are filled with posters of suicide bombers, and the kids are taught with textbooks where Israel doesn't even exist on the map. They are taught to hate jews. There is a big difference between individual sentiment and public policy. Israeli schools educate for peace. There will always be people filled with hatred, but the Palestinian Authority is actively indoctrinating its population with it. And about the above comment, the area is a historical mess, but there is no peace without truth. What the world thinks isn't good enough- the world has never been kind to the jews, and most world governments have vested political interests(oil) in the middle east. Peace must be based on truth, and justice. The complicated history must be analyzed and understood to formulate the way to approach the present. This is the only way there will ever be real peace.
