psk,

As a fellow Jew/Zionist, I 100% understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately, not everyone else does. There are even some Jews (Eric5273 for example) who do not understand our unwavering support for a country that:
A) Has always had a HUGE population of Jews, even when it was called Palestine and was a "territory".
B) Is also largely inhabited by survivors of the worst atrocity in the history of mankind and their decedents
C) Is bordered by and in proximity to: A huge population of Muslim countries and people who have one main thing in common, their universal hatred of a Jewish state, regardless of the Palestinian Conflict.

Having said all that, you can make a disciplinary action against the teacher. Note and date incidents where his view on politics are being unfairly forced on you.

But also realize, when you go to school, often times you are taught things that may be in conflict with your own personal beliefs. Could you imagine being Native American and having to learn US History and expansionism from the colonial point of view?

If you have ever been on a debate team, they will often make you debate a side you don't agree with. It's not about your beliefs, it's about an approved curriculum.

I would take your punches, get your grades, then right an OP ED piece for your school paper.

You also have the right to drop the class.
