Yo Pski! I am a fellow Hebe Just had some family over from Israel for my wedding, including my cuz who just finished 4 years with IDF infantry. He saw combat in Gaza, and also served on the Lebanon border.

OK, now that you see that I am TOTALLY in agreement with you for your unwavering support of Israel, time to step back for a reality check...

I completely agree with B-Line and Primetime on this. Let this one go. Yeah, your teacher is a dick and he may be an Arab sympathizer and all that...but you know what? You only have to deal with him for a couple more months, and then you're done with high school, and you move on. Do NOT blow this out of proportion and make a bad situation worse. You will learn as you get older that you have to pick and choose your battles. You cannot stand up to every single incident that rubs you the wrong way or pisses you off, especially when there is another more important goal to attain. The goal here is to get a decent grade in this class, and to move on and to graduate. Calling a meeting between you and your teacher, or getting your parents involved is a really BAD move. It will make you stick out like a sore thumb, and can compromise your grades, your chances of getting into a good college, and so forth. And anyway, you are not going to change this guy's mind or make him alter his teaching style. Just do your course work, GIVE HIM THE ANSWERS HE WANTS TO HEAR, and swallow your nationalistic pride on this one. A year from now, when you're all done with high school you won't care about this guy, but you WILL care if he flunks you or gives you a bad grade, and this then compromises your opporunities.

The real battle that counts will be when you are in the IDF and are taking out Hamas bastards that would love to blow up Israeli school buses. Those are the battles you want to fight, the ones that make a difference and protect Israeli families and civilians. Taking out terrorist militants. Not this meaningless high school teacher.

And like everyone else said, forget the lawsuit idea. That's a non-starter....
