Who Really Teaches Hatred?
By Jonathan S. Tobin, The Jewish Exponent
July 27, 2006
Though not all Arabs are haters and not every Israeli is a paragon of tolerance, there is simply no comparison between what goes on in terms of learning about peace and hate between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
No person even remotely informed about the situation -- no matter his or her opinions about the rights and wrongs of Israeli policies or military tactics -- could possibly make such an analogy.
Yet that's exactly what The Philadelphia Inquirer did in an editorial published last week on July 21.
Perched alongside its masthead, the Inquirer printed two Associated Press photos under the headline "The Wars Go On: When We Teach Our Children to Hate." One photo showed an Israeli child writing a message to Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah terrorists on an artillery shell. Next to it was a photo of an Arab mother and nuzzling baby. The editorial that followed pontificated that the pictures illustrated that both peoples were teaching their "young to revere killing."
