Does the following quote indicate the profound level of ignorance of American youth?

Question

".....and hundreds of Palestinian lives are not worth 1 Israeli fingernail...."

"Those dam*ed Arabs.......they should just go back to where they came from and this whole thing would be solved. "

They are in their homeland. The Zionists come from Europe.

Answer 1

I don't think you'll get much argument that America youth are ignorant.

So... where are you on the issue of school choice?

Answer 2

I think it's the other way around. To Palestinians, Israeli lives are not worth anything. Everytime Israel airs on television the horrors of the Holocaust, you guys celebrate. . .as if you were watching a boxing match. Face it: Hamas and Hezbollah want the destruction of Israel, all Jewish people and people of Jewish descent as well around the World.

And if you think that our American youth is ignorant, how about the Palestinian Madrassas where Palestinian children are taught nothing else but hate? Kind of dumb, ISN'T IT? Are these the values you are leaving behind in the name of a God you call Allah? This is not anymore about the Zionists. It is repelling a group of people (terrorists) who won't stop at anything. . .Even if Israel gave ALL the territory to the Palestinians and call it Palestine with the flag and all. . .You will want to murder all Jews in Israel and around the World and. . . You know what? Hitler tried. He failed. You want to do it too. You will fail. 'nough said!
And if that makes me a Dumb American Youngster, then SO BE IT!

Answer 3

I think that it indicates the profound level of ignorance that plagues all Americans, not just American children. Citizens of other countries are far more aware of geopolitical situations in other countries - the news in Ireland, for example, shows headlines from all of Europe, not just from Ireland - and people abroad are far more knowledgable of world history.
For example, the majority of Americans are not aware that Israel was established by the decree of the British government after WWII, when England gave the land to the Jewish people in the Balfour Declaration.
Chalk it up to an obsession with the myth-making of American history (check out James Lowen's Lies My Teacher Told Me) instead of actually examining world history in a critical way.

Answer 4

What's really scary is that quote might actually have come from an Adult!
Ignorance is still ignorance, no matter what the age of the person making those kind of statements.

Those are the same kind of people who say those who speak against the President are "anti-American", who are against legalized Gay marriage and taking prayer out of public schools...not to mention most likely those who believe in "creationism" over "evolution."

Answer 5

People are dumb. And if you don't believe in what the US is doing and if you support any Arabs you are a terrorist and un patriotic. I wish someone would nuke us back to the stone age, we need to get off our high horse already and realize that we aren't the only ones in the world, and that yes, our Government does do stupid things around the world. Stop trying to police the globe.

Answer 6

Much of America's youth is ignorant, and I think America's schools are partly the problem.

Answer 7

If this is the dumbest thing you have read from the youth on here,
I assume you do not get on site very often.

What are they teaching our youth - obviously not much.

Answer 8

I think it's sad that in this age people still act and talk that way. Hatred and intolerance gets them nowhere.

Answer 9

You must be reading the Aljazzera news Paper...
