My children aren't. My children play with Arab children, and share their snacks. I'm 100% certain that my children have influenced at least some Arab children to reject the hatred that they are taught.

Note that in the West Bank itself, there are not many opportunities for the children to play together if the parents do not already know each other, because each side is wary of the other. So much of that interaction happens on the other side of the Green Line, with Arab children that do not live in the West Bank.

how on earth can you compare children toting guns and shouting `death to israel` with whatever the israeli kids are taught? (I doubt they are even told about Palestinians, tbh)

Israeli children are in fact taught about the non-Jewish citizens. I would venture that the vast majority are taught that we're different, but neither of us are "better". We have different holidays, different language, and even measure the year differently, but we can play together and learn each other's language.

Not being told about the Palestinians at all would be pretty bad. Pretty sure any country with an extremely controversial history dealing with other people not telling children about those people at all is bad.

> I doubt they are even told about Palestinians, tbh

Assuming this were true, how exactly is it a good thing?

I don't think parent claimed it was a good thing, more like "yeah Israeli children are not taught to shout death chants at Palestinians, in fact I'd venture they are not even taught about Palestinians". Not better, not worse, just a different stroke of bad.
