The Israeli government has rejected the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) request to build a number of schools inside the Gaza Strip, claiming the building would be “defenses” Hamas. The UNRWA says they had to reject 40,000 students in the strip this year because of lack of space.
Israel damaged or destroyed a large number of buildings, including schools, during the 2008-09 invasion of the Gaza Strip, and has largely blocked the importation of construction material since, leaving the strip in ruins.
Israel’s Defense Ministry confirmed the rejection of the construction, saying it was “shocked” that the UNRWA even sought the approval and that the schools would be used by Hamas “in its terrorist war against Israel.”
In the absence of more UNRWA schools, the group warned, the students will end up in Hamas-run schools. Israel insists that it supports the UNRWA school program in principle, but opposed the locations of them.
So once again ItzALie proves in real time that their pirate assault and murder aboard the Mavi Marmara was completely in violation of international law. Because by denying these people the right to build more schools they are in essence saying that Gaza is a part of Israel which means that the blockade on Gaza is in violation of international law. It would be similar if the US placed a blockade on NY City and LA and then denied NY the right to build schools because the gang bangers could use them to hide behind when shooting it out with the police.
It is amazing that they would cry that the schools would be a military facility for hamas. This new threat to the mighty IDF might be the reason why our congress is giving the IDF a $98,000,000 jet fighter plane. One cannot be too careful. The children at the schools might pick up a rock and then what is the highly armed IDF to do? They would have to defend themself so why not just start shooting children before they can pick up the rocks. It is only fair since God is on the side of the chosen. It is clear that an almighty God would never permit harm to the people who he/she has ignored for 5,000 plus years. Come to think about it if they are the chosen then why is not God providing safety and security to the chosen?
In another thread you wrote: "please do not call me a bigot"
In light of your mean-spirited sarcasm, one can't consider your request too seriously.
The term "chosen" just means that practising J**s are obligated to obey the laws of the Torah. I don't follow those laws, so I'm not one of the "chosen", even though my heritage is J**ish. Come to think of it, I've never once met a J** who goes around declaring that he or she is one of the "chosen". The only times I ever see or hear that word being used are when J** bashers use it (I mean, misuse it) as a way of expressing their bigotry and ignorance. Like you just did.
..The 'so-called" chosens ones who are occupying Palestine have demonstrated a deliberate evil that will eventually be their downfall. Zionism is is the new Nazism period. The settlers, and extremists in Israel seem to have taken a que from the oppressors who slaughtered their brethren from yesteryear. Only a South African style boycott will force these hollow souls to respect, and obey human life, and international law.
I can't imagine any school that the Isreali's have control over being anything but halls of indoctrination and propaganda. Obviously Hamas run schools would be the same except they would monitored by the IDF.
Did you read in Hareetz what the Rabbi that has charge of Isreali schools had to say? He thinks the Palestinians should "perish". Would you want anyone you felt should perish enlightened with an education?
