We would be more complete if our television would show our children and us that the handicapped – and even those who are seriously handicapped – are part of our environment.

The most intolerant among us are not whites, which this is clearly aimed for.

Obviously this is about the media in Israel. I don't know how many Arab reporters we have in the US, but it's one too many, because that one is Helen Thomas.

In Hebrew, the word for "tolerance" is derived from the same root as "suffering" – this isn't coincidental, as tolerance means being able to suffer in order to prevent an even more serious damage to the objectives of the other.

Once again the Hebrew language nails it!!! The Hebrew name of a thing, unlike its name in any other language, corresponds to the objective essence of the thing named.

Here we see the baldest admission I've ever seen that "tolerance" doesn't apply to everyone but only to those arbitrarily defined as "the other." And those arbitrarily defined as not "the other" are designated for suffering (from which "the other" are exempt) in order to advance the interests of "the other" rather than of itself.

I'm surprised the Hebrew word for "tolerance" isn't derived from the verbal root for "bend over!"

Many in Israel suffer from the 'fear and loathing' syndrome. They realize much of the world detests them and preaching tolerance might help overcome this hate.

[ccmay]

No less important, if Arab-Israeli children view themselves as part of the Israeli social circle there's a high likelihood they will grow up feeling a greater sense of belonging and be more attached to the country and all its citizens.

I doubt this very, very much.

From looking at an interlinear Old Testament in Hebrew and English....

Hebrew is so confusing, at least the order, but it seems more than that. There was a Greek New Testament, and although the order there was off from English standard, too (both Hebrew and Greek seem to change the words for placement instead of order), reading it still made sense.

Mr. Shternshus has a point about disabled people, if that is true that they are not sufficiently represented in media.

There used to be a character that used crutches on NBC's ER. Carry? My wife has used forearm crutches for 51 of her 54 years. (My wife has Cerebral Palsy) - Recently that ER character was able to magically throw down the crutches and walk like everyone else. Last week the character "ran" to an emergency. My wife laughed and wondered out loud if John Edwards had somehow been elected. I laughed and then cried. Lots of folks in wheelchairs out there but that was the only character on TV that used crutches. South Park is the only place left with such a character. Very few heroes out there anymore but my wife is definitely one of them.
