In response to the stabbing attack on Yaffo Street near Machane Yehuda in Yerushalayim last week, which was perpetrated by a 14 and 16-year-old Arab terrorist, the father of one of the attackers speaks out. His daughter was killed during her effort to murder Jews. According to the MyNet report, teachers in the Arab schools in the eastern capital admit for them, it is hard to persuade students that this is not the correct path to follow.
The girls, who lived in Kalandia had Israeli identity cards. At the end of their school day they headed from the school towards the shuk with the intention of stabbing Jews. After pulling their weapons, in this case scissors, stabbing passersby, they were fired upon by security forces killing one of them and leaving the second seriously wounded.
A group of children gathered outside the family home in Kalandia following the attack and shouted “She wanted to be a Shahid”, a holy martyr.
During the ongoing wave of Islamic terror attacks around Israel, many Arab children have been the attackers, ranging in age from 11 to 18. The father of the 14-year-old used Facebook to get his message out, hoping to reach the Arab youth, which now feels identify with the so-called struggle to liberate al-Aqsa, a direct result of incitement and indoctrination in the PA and its school system. In this case, schools funded by Israel’s Ministry of Education, serving the Arab population in the eastern capital.
The father writes “This battle is not for you. Permit those involved to fight it”. He adds the feeling of responsibility and concern for the children compels us to increase awareness and to explain to children just how important it is for them to distance themselves from stabbing attacks. We can shout and give speeches from today until forever, but the responsibility to raise awareness that the stabbing attacks are not for boys and girls is our task”.
Jerusalem education officials and the city’s PTA has decided to bring social workers into the school along with other professionals to work with the children towards educating them to the fact this is not the correct path for them.

I got an idea
Don’t have your kid watch Arab tv shows geared to kids glorifying terrorism
Duh
He didn’t say he disagreed with stabbing Jews, just that it should be left to the adults. Wonderful parenting.
He seems to only desire that children stay out of the conflict, but that adult terrorists should keep up the good work. But can we expect any more from the Israeli Arabs? They are raised to hate us and we fund their education.
The problem is that Islam and the Koran promote the killing of Jews and that that those who are killed will be entered immediately into heaven. It is a problem IN their religion.
What the Western world does not realize it is not a political movement as much as a act stemming from their religion.
Buy a Koren and take it into the toilet and read it: ‘Know thy enemy” should be first in your mind.
#1: Not too sure how much that would help. It’s in the schools, the mosques, the newspapers, radio, street graffiti, and where not? Even kids’ games!
Leave children out- does that also mean that Arab adults should not stab and attack Jewish Children R”L? I doubt it.
