RE: Holocaust lesson in Germany - What do we teach our kids at school?
Very impressive. Keep up the work. This is such a sensitive subject and especially in the UK there's a huge anti-semitism/anti-zionism movement happening at the moment and it comes top-down. I am not acusing or defending anybody, but if we start teaching tolerance and listening to one another, we can avoid many problems in the world today. It all starts with tolerance, respect and listening to someone else's point of view. Even if you don't agree, if you ignore it, he/she might/will feel like no-one is listening to them and go on the path towards extremism.
Yes @wolfje we need to talk to the neo-nazi, trying to understand them. Some of them are afraid to lose their jobs to the migrants (it is a legitimate issue to be addressed), some other simply want to blindly go back to a time where different ethnicities were not so mixed up with one another (impossible). It is a battle of the have-nots against those who have power/money/resources. The middle-class is now impoverished as much as the the working class. We need to stand together against the finance-aristocracy. But please, let's not call the bankers 'nazi'. Let's use words for what they mean..
Many people are also using the situation in Israel to be anti-semitic/anti-zionistic. These are not right wing people, the majority of them are leftist. They believe that they're on the side of the victims and many are not open for a dialogue. It's a very sensitive subject and both parties need to listen to one another as they're both right ... and they're both wrong. Only together you can achieve tolerance and respect.
