Israeli Education Minister Yuli Tamir signed a directive to public schools to mark the 50th anniversary of the ‘massacre in Kafr Kassam,’ referring to the shooting of Israeli Arab protestors by security forces. It took a week, almost no time at all, by Israel’s political calendar, to approve this self-hating idea, which was brought on by MK Zehava Gal-On (Meretz).

I wonder, will the children of Israel learn that those Arabs who ignored and defied a military curfew prohibiting movement during 1956 conflict? Will they learn about the uncountable number of massacres of the Jews by Arabs, including the one in Hevron, before and after the establishment of the state of Israel?

Will the children learn about David Ben Gurion’s order to sink, in order to maintain political superiority, Irgun’s weapon-supply boat Altalena, at the time when Jews had no arms to fight Arabs? Will they learn that the executioner was Yitzhak Rabin, who relentlessly sunk the boat and killed the Jewish crew?

The left wing of the Israel political bueurocracy does not want people to know how they betrayed Zionism; how after the Oslo agreement, they promptly took Zionism education out of Israel’s schools; even in the army Zionist political education is restricted; at the same time the Arabs are continuously teaching their children hatred toward the Jews.

The corrupt, self-centered, egomaniac politicians do not hesitate to murder Jews – physically, morally and spiritually - in order to serve their own interests. It is easy for them to control and manipulate the nation without heeding the national goal, people who are driven by apathy and despair.

Will Jewish children learn that Palestine is Eretz-Israel? Not just because it is Jewish ancestral land. It was approved as the Land of Israel, including Jordan, by the League of Nations — the same organization gave the opportunity to Arabs, through the system of mandates, to create their own state. Will they learn how Britain and France, together with Arab countries, robbed the Jews of our historical, moral and legal right to the entire Land of Israel?

That’s what Jewish children must learn. They must rebel against hypocrisy and self-hate that has been fostered and propagated in Jewish communities by self-hating, ‘politicly correct’ and corrupt leadership!
