Speak Hebrew - Love Israel?

Speak Hebrew – love Israel?will share some of my Hebrew students' stories and motivations for learning modern Hebrew, and their feelings towards the Israeli state. We will question - * Can we learn Hebrew in a non-political setting, as just a language??* What part does love towards Israel/the Jewish people play in my student’s will to learn Hebrew?* And if so - have they also been brainwashed about Israel? just as I was when I was young? * Why would anyone want to learn IVRIT, my language, a beautiful language, and yet, as some see it - the language of the oppressor?
