My point is that the coverage I received in highschool civics WAS one sided in which jews were shown as heroes fighting to create a country against all odds and all the countries around it wanted to destroy them because they were jews.

The very institutions that we created to educate them against propaganda have themselves been used to instill propaganda. In this case, the very real islamaphobia and dehumanization of arabs that runs at the core of american culture.

Ok, you could have made that more clear, I didn't even consider the possibility that you didn't know the Jews did bad things when you heard that, so it sounded to me like you just wanted them to say bad things about Jews in this lecture rather than you feeling deceived.

I grew up in Sweden in the 90s and the debate was raging already then here due to significant Muslim immigration, so there was always people who brought up all these bad things the Jews did there, so I couldn't imagine an adult who cared about the topic not knowing.
