Once again, a public school in Yerushalayim that is funded by Israel’s Ministry of Education is in the news, this time for inviting family members of terrorists to address students. The school bills the slain terrorists as shahids, martyrs who died for the cause. The schools funded by the state ministry use these funds to inculcate a hate for the State of Israel in the students, many growing up to become the next generation terrorists.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has ordered an inquiry into whether activity at a school in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabil Mukhaber – which invited parents of terrorists who had committed attacks to appear before pupils – constitutes incitement; the Prime Minister has contacted Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on the issue.
