In The Lesson Tensions within Israeli society start to play out in a high school classroom. During a civics class the teacher, Amir Halevi (Doron Ben-David), proposes that the class come up with a topic of discussion. One of the pupils, Lianne Zarhi (Maya Landsman), wants to ban Arabs from the public pool. Amir doesn't react well to this and the situation in the classroom descends into chaos with Lianne leading some of her fellow students in a chant of "Death to Arabs." Amir find himself reported to the school board for badmouthing the Idf. The following day, Amir catches Lianne dancing with a loaded assault rifle in the schoolyard. He loses his rag and uses some intemperate language, comparing Lianne's fascistic views to Nazism. He is caught on camera. Selectively edited footage is posted online and goes viral.
