Dear friends,
Sadly, not shocking for anyone closely following developments in Israel, especially their education system.
Read this and imagine what Israel will look like 5-10 years from now when these youth are conscripted into the Israeli military, given weapons, and set free in the Wild Wild West (Bank) and Gaza.
To be accurate, their is no need to look into the future, these same products of the Israeli system are armed and dangerous today, roaming the occupied Palestinian territory as well as within Israel itself.
Don’t focus on the victims of the system, focus on the system itself,
Sam

Young Israelis Held in Attack on Arabs
By ISABEL KERSHNER
JERUSALEM — Seven Israeli teenagers were in custody on Monday, accused of what a police official and several witnesses described as an attempted lynching of several Palestinian youths, laying bare the undercurrent of tension in this ethnically mixed but politically divided city. A 15-year-old suspect standing outside court said, “For my part he can die, he’s an Arab.”
