   Who was it that settled the United States … Thousands from all over the world. How many of those “illegals” will work their tails off to see that their kids get an education and maybe go to college and become tomorrow’s doctors, lawyers, business leaders, engineers and scientists just like generations of immigrants before them.

   Having been a part of some of the Civil Rights and Viet Nam protests I’ve been looking at videos of these protests and I’m reminded of a scene in the first Crocodile Dundee movie where a street thug tries to rob him and says he has a knife and exhibits a pocket knife. Dundee replies you call that a knife as he pulls out a Bowie knife with a foot long blade. So you call that a protest? It will be a protest when you have ten thousand students blocking the administration building and two hundred occupying the President’s office. I admire the students’ desire for justice and peace that both Jewish and Palestinian students realize that they have the same goal, living peacefully together.

   The Land of Canaan was never settled exclusively by Jews. Other Canaanite tribes lived in the area. The Jewish states were only occasionally self ruling, more often they were under the thumb of Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans. Under the Ottoman Empire Jews and Arabs lived together peacefully for centuries. It was when Zionists from Europe decided they had the right to reclaim land where they had not lived for two thousand years that real trouble began.

   Let me think, a few days ago President Biden coordinated the use of our air forces with Israel, the Saudis and the RAF to stymie an Iranian attack on Israel. He then persuaded the Israelis to make a very limited response to avoid escalating into a war nobody wants. Not bad for a tired, senile old man. He also worked with the Speaker Johnson to get the aid bill for Israel and Ukraine passed. This is the sort of quiet competence you get with President Biden.

   From what I’m reading, many of the people demonstrating against Israeli actions against Palestinians are Jewish students. There are similar protests in Israel itself. These people want an end to the wholesale slaughter of civilians in Gaza.

   No, he would buy a substitute and then demand any decorations he won.

   If you like the clown show that’s the House, you’ll love the three ring circus that’s the House, Senate and White House under Republican control. The Three Stooges run the USA.

   I generally don’t reply to your posts because I quite playground arguments sometime around third grade. I taught for thirty years in public schools and can’t recall ever knowing a teacher who indoctrinated students. I worked with liberal teachers and conservative teachers but they all tried to make clear what was factual knowledge and what was their personal opinion. I taught in during the late 60’s and 70’s, certainly a time when there were plenty of controversial issues floating around. Public schools, at least in my day, granted tenure to experienced teachers which protected them from being fired because their lessons didn’t pass muster with the beliefs of certain governors or state legislators. If you’re concerned about indoctrination, look at the private religious schools which you so heartily endorse which can fire any teacher that doesn’t toe the line.
