You might...Often people react the same way you did. You might feel that other Jewish people are as informed on the issues surrounding Israel because of it's importance to your shared culture. Often people get defensive because they feel their culture is being misunderstood by outsiders. Every group has it's problems. By having people on the outside point out the wrongs or over simplify the issues is what frustrates a lot of cultures with these complex problems. <BR/><BR/> Everyone has an opinion when they sit on the outside lines because they are mostly insulated from the consequences. Right now it is hard to value many people's opinions since being informed on world issues has been out of style for years. Maybe you could do some lesson that covers making informed opinions, stating the opinions in a balanced way. Kids don't seem to understand the context of the jokes that are being put out their now and they need to understand why this language is not appropriate. Thats a tough question you are asking yourself I wish you luck with finding the answer.sleepycollege studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543011838184479478noreply@blogger.com
