In reply to the discussion: Trump Raged at Abbas in Meeting: 'You Lied To Me' [View all]vkkv
(3,384 posts)19. Israeli children are TAUGHT in school that Palestinians are terrorists. School maps are also wrong.

Gideon Levy, a Haaretz columnist, noted the striking similarities between these photos and the Palestinian glorification of violence. Where else do they force a little child to crawl with a backpack on his back? When Hamas treats its children like this, Israeli parents tut-tut with disgust: Look at these beasts.
Its a double standard all too common to the conflict.
Were told that Palestinian maps in schools often show a unified Palestine between the river and the sea how awful! yet Israeli maps, more often than Palestinian ones in fact, dont show the Green Line, and Jews dont really seem to care.
Were told that Palestinians are taught in school that the Jewish historical claims to the land, particularly the Temple Mount, dont really exist how awful! yet in a similar tone, many Israeli children learn that Palestinians were only recently invented, and Jews dont really seem to care.
Were told that Palestinian textbooks distort history how awful! yet a recent State Department study found that many Israeli textbooks do too, and Jews dont really seem to care.
And now, we have yet another confirmation that Israeli children also learn to glorify and aspire toward violence, and surprise, surprise no one really seems to care.

Human rights workers attempt to get a soldier to stop (Israeli) settler kids who are throwing stones at a Palestinian home while a settler adult watches.
Every day on their way home from school, several Palestinian children walk on a path that runs directly below where the settler kids were stoning. ( Nice kids!)

Well, to be fair...that's what terrorism is: Killing innocents for a perceived just cause.
