What George forgot to mention was that Palestinians use their own schools as launching sites for rocket attacks against Israel. He also didn't mention that the IDF warns ahead of time for all civilians to get out of harms way as they must remove that launch site to protect their own citizens. The truth is if Palestinians cared about their own children they wouldn't use their schools as launch sites for rocket attacks against Israel and put them in harms way. If they are willing to use their own children as sandbags while firing on Israelis then it does not surprise me they would use their schools for warfare either. Anything goes with these people. That is the sickness of their culture that Golda grieved deeply over. She said, We can forgive you for killing our children but we can never forgive you for making us kill yours. Israelis value the lives of ALL children. The arabs do not. Therein lies the problem. - Jeremiah
Here's the real problem Golda (never) wept over:
"When the Zionists decided in 1897 to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, the Jews of Vienna despatched a delegation to examine the country for its suitability. The delegation reported back as follows: 'the bride is beautiful but she is married to another man'.
"
They had found that Palestine to their dismay was already inhabited by another people.
"And this has been Zionism’s central problem ever since. How to '
vanish the Palestinians' and get an empty land..."
"It ... started with the Zionist slogan of Palestine as ‘a land without a people’, to which end the Israelis expended much effort. In 1948, a majority of Palestine’s population was expelled (my family amongst them) and was never allowed to return.
"
A campaign to eradicate the Palestinian presence swiftly followed.
"Over 500 Palestinian villages were demolished and replaced with Israeli settlements; Hebrew place names were substituted for the previous Arabs ones; the country’s history was re-written to claim that Palestine had been a wasteland, home to a few wandering Bedouin tribes.
"
Israeli schoolchildren were reared for decades on this mythology.
" Palestinian customs were appropriated as 'Israeli', and the minority of Palestinians that remained became invisible."
