well what you are saying may be true about some of his political beliefs.....I highly doubt you learned the same material Prof. Casagranda has tought, You either went to some high end European school or you went to the best damn high school in the United States, because high school for me sure as shit way more basic and general learning based, and alot of the lectures back then very typical with Americanized-slanted history...

and the belt wasn't the only issue there (especially if you lived in Iran) though nothing to compare with europe indeed.

anyway, I would've excpected from a lecturer to be objective when he teaches. although nobody would probably find out anyway..

"Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well."

to conquer lands - while in every single war, with the exception of Sinai War in 1956 (which Israel had to participate in, due to its dependence on France) - was a response for arabs' attack or great threats to the existence of Israel. by no possible means would the zionosts want to have the 1948 war - because they were enormously little in relevant to the palastines+5 arab states!

btw, zionism existed long before the zionist movement and was strongest amongst the jewish arabs he talks about.

while he's a great speaker imo on the way he teaches, and everything he said I've learned on high school, I couln't not notice the amount of relevant facts he ignored and the irrelevant ones he added in order to present "how good" were the muslim arabs or to explain their feelings/thoughts, ignoring the ones of the other side, and also the one-side interpretation he gives to certain events, some of them outrages.

the worst one is that he makes it seem like Israel has a desire for wars in order
