    Birthright is more like a timeshare sales presentation - they’re trying to sell Jewish kids on moving there. This is more like “getting people exposed to other cultures is good, maybe Americans will be way less maniacal towards us if they just come over here and see how we’re all just people”.

      yep, birthright is a 10 day tour of israel where they talk about arabs the way people talk about the romani back home. and then they tell you it’s your duty to move to israel and serve in the IDF. and then they get angry at you when you go ??? at them.

      this was my experience in 2004.
