I was contemplating if to tell the story about the israeli and palestinian kid who got their playground divided by the british teacher, and how the palestinian kid said "fuck that shit, i want all of it", went to call his arab brothers to beat the israeli kid, failed and now is crying.

If your analogy paints the Palestinians as the historical aggressors, rather than the European immigrants who unilaterally declared Israel to exist on what was, at that time, predominantly Arab land, then your analogy is deeply flawed.

his analogy is fine its just 2 thousand years out of date. but don't blame isreal for using out of date text books its written in their law that they must use history books from 2000 years ago.

he means Roman teacher not British. its a common mistake that most isreali kids make... confusing Romans with the British empire.
as you can see they like to confuse Palestinians with Arabs too.

I reckon you need to go back to school if you confuse the romans and the british as for who divided the land.

arab land?

Interesting, care to show me the history text book that points that out?

Because it did belong to the British, who conquered it from the ottoman empire, who conquered it from the Mamluk empire, who conquered it from the Crusaders....
