These kids won't have read the textbooks that Mr. Hazony and Ms. Livnat deplore, because history isn't even part of their curriculum. Many won't be going to the army either. Some won't go because they already have police records, so the army won't take them. Some won't go because they don't want to fight for a country that can't be bothered to give them an education. Yes, Mr. Hazony, we do have a values problem in Israel.
Children are smart.
They absorb what's going on in this country, and that shapes their at des. You can't idolize corporate executives, open all the gates to multinational corporations, and then expect to strengthen the Jewish identity of the youth. You can't have an economics based on naked greed and inculcate self-sacrifice. You can't ignore the educational, health, employment and housing needs of millions of Israelis, and expect to maintain a citizen's army. It's not the textbooks.
