A Jaffa area ninth grader attending a Bat Yam School told his friend that he looks forward to becoming a shahid and take part in murdering Jews. After learning about the incident the school reported it to police.
Officials report there are Arab students in many Bat Yam public schools, primarily residents of nearby Jaffa. They feel that to date the difficult security situation and frequent Arab terror attacks have not impacted the education system but this incident, involving a 14-year-old, has resulted in stir. City education officials explain that this is an isolated incident, an argument between students. They add that by and large the Arab and Jewish students are fine attending classes with one another and they coexist harmoniously.
Students explain the Arab student in question was often the target of jokes from Jewish classmates and perhaps his statement was a response to these jokes.

See the ma’aseh of Diklat, in Yerushalmi Trumos 8:4.
As usual, it’s the Jews fault
How sad … If Arabs and lahavdel Jewish kids learn in the same class how do they perceive god the laws who learns from whom after all it’s still a Jewish state…
Jews and Arabs should be separated from nursery on. There is no reason why a Jewish child should be subjected to goyim especially at such an early age.
