I appreciate you trying to educate your children on how Jewish people have suffered from prejudice and hate by watching Schindler's List (GREAT movie). Another one I recommend is "Exodus" about the creation of Israel after WWII and trying to help Jews escape out of Europe (available on You Tube for free). Based on a book by Leon Uris.
Now, what have they learned about the Palestinians?

Thank you for the reference... and please don't patronize me about what "they learned" about the Palestinians. I gave them the full picture, to include talking about the West Bank Israeli settlements, the differences between Hamas and the PLO, the first and second antifadas, 1947/48, 1967, 1973 etc etc etc. I'm a retired military intelligence officer, and deeply informed about the history of the Middle East.
That was rude and unnecessary. In addition, the Middle East has never been stable. The land now called Israel is on the ancient spice route which brought waves and waves of people through the area over a thousand years. It has been dominated by all sorts of groups over the years including Persians, Romans, Ottomans, British to name a few.

I'll bet you could tell some stories! Thank you for the background, you just never know who you're talking to on these comment threads.

Go post that stuff on Truth Social...where you can go own some Dems.
There was a great conversation going on until your post.
Thanks for your service and your background is excellent and contributes greatly to the conversation.
