Wait what????????
I hope everyone is reading this
i hope YOU are reading it and doing some research, because apparently it's not being taught in israeli schools (hardly surprising). yes, your country was founded by ethnic cleansing, by literally destroying hundreds of palestinian villages. yes, "palestinian". the region was called "palestine" under the british mandate.

"Legislation
In 2009 the Israeli government banned references to the Nakba in school textbooks and required the removal of existing textbooks that mentioned it.[14][15] Israel enacted the Nakba Law in 2011 which restricted public funding to entities that disputed Israel's foundational story.[14] While the original bill proposed to criminalize individuals who disputed the state's reading of history, the proposed legislation was amended to financially penalize organizations instead.[16] According to transitional justice researcher Yoav Kapshuk and Political scientist Lisa Strömbom, this law was an attempt to "hamper freedom of expression" surrounding the Nakba, but in doing so it inadvertently "increased public knowledge about the meaning of Nakba".[7] In its wake, columnist Odeh Bisharat wrote that some good came out of the legislation, in that "at least, there's no denial of the Nakba. Nobody claims the whole thing is fairy-tale. The Palestinian narrative has won. The narrative that in '48 a people was exiled, by force, from its land, has seared into Israeli and global consciousness."[7]
In 2014 the Israeli government passed the Jewish Nakba law which created a commemoration day for Mizrahi Jews who migrated to Israel following their displacement from Arab countries.[17] Academics Yasmeen Abu-Laban and Abigail B. Bakan, writing in The Political Quarterly, argue that this law was an example of "aggressive [Nakba] denial" which is "aimed at blurring and confusing the memorialising" of the Palestinian Nakba.[18]"
apparently your governments brain- and white-washing operation was successful... very reminiscent of american textbooks being whitewashed in terms of slavery and the genocide of natives...
