It's Not About Education: The PA Gives Israel a Schooling
There's no shortage of examples of schools used to shield Hamas terrorists during Israel's confrontations with Gaza. Apparently, the Palestinian Authority was taking careful notes, and learned quickly about the tremendous potential of illegal school buildings. The PA decided to tap this rich public relations cache for the purpose of seizing land in Judea and Samaria in areas under full Israeli jurisdiction – including IDF training grounds!
How does the "system" work?
Schools are erected in "flash construction" projects, literally overnight. When the morning comes, the building is filled with young pupils - and a petition against the structure's demolition, prepared in full, in advance, is submitted to the court, effectively throwing a wrench into the works and making law enforcement impossible. It makes no difference that there's a perfectly serviceable school in the neighboring village, only spitting distance away; no one bothers to ask where these children were attending school the day before. The international outcry, the hand-wringing, and the crocodile tears follow in short order: After all, what sort of country would destroy the school of innocent children?
Here's the latest example: Under cover of darkness, a school was constructed on IDF Training Ground 917, identical to the dozens of schools constructed overnight by the European Union throughout Judea and Samaria, at strategic points throughout "Area C." Everywhere you turn – another symbol of Palestinian control of the territory, more children in illegal buildings. In almost every case, the signage proudly declares European Union financial support.

Cool, I am all for education.
Hamas summer camp and training in the ways of the Death Cult is not education that is relevant in the first world workplace.
Nice deflection.
You’re befuddled.
