Israel’s Terrorist Educational System

After 911 the major American media outlets were directed to attack and criticize Arab and Islamic educational systems to present them as Madrassas (schools in Arabic) breeding hate, prejudice, religious extremism, and violence. Barbara Walters from 20/20 program (ABC TV) traveled to Saudi Arabia to criticize Islamic schools. She selected some Qur'anic phrases out of context against the Jews, when at the time the Jews broke peace treaty and betrayed Moslems, and portrayed them as hate provoking and anti-Semitic. Saudis took her criticism with open mind promising to "modernize" their curriculum.

Due to political reasons critics, including Barbara Walters, had ignored to recognize all the good teachings Islamic schools are offering including acceptance of Judaic and Christian religions, tolerance to other cultures, moderation of behaviors, family values, compassion towards the poor, equality of rights, freedom and slave emancipation, and democracy (Islamic Shoura) among a long list of others.

Walters and others, on the other hand, did not dare even to look at the Israeli educational system and compare it with others. Such an examination would expose Israeli educational system as racist, chauvinist, elitist, intolerance, hate provoking, violent, militarized and terrorist system.

The first lesson an Israeli child learns is the most racist, chauvinist, prejudiced, religiously extremist, homo-phobic lesson of the persecuted (prejudice) God's chosen people in God's Promised Land. The Israeli child discovers that he has the Jewish divine birth right of being God's chosen, and that this divine privilege comes with the envy, the anti-Semitic hatred, and the persecution the others (the Goyim; other people) inflicted on him. He learns that these Goyims are mere animal souls incarnated in human bodies for the service and pleasure of the God's chosen people. He also learns that his God's Promised Land had been stolen by heathen thieves (Arabs and Moslems) and it is his religious duty to follow God's wish of cleansing that Promised Land from these heathens and building a house for God.

The Israeli scholastic books are written with extreme militarized Zionist ideology with a deep color of distorted religiosity. The Israeli researcher "Eli Bodia", at Haifa University, conducted a study of the Israeli scholastic historical curriculum called "Israeli Struggle in the Hebrew Scholastic History Books". "Bodia" concluded that the curriculum perpetuates the Israeli Arab conflict, and had been a contributing obstacle to any real peace treaty with Palestinians. He described the curriculum as deeply distorted by extreme Zionist ideology. It breeds hatred against Arabs generally and Palestinian specifically by stripping them from their humanity and describing them as savages, violent, terrorist, retarded, criminal, dirty, and animalistic. The Israeli scholar "Sigrid Lehman" stated: "We, the Jews, are inclined to perceive an Arab as Goyim, as Europeans we perceive him as an Asian enemy against our national aspirations, and as socialists we perceive him as a representative to the worst type of retardation"

The Israeli social and religious curriculums on the other hand are also full with extreme religious prejudice and social elitism over all the goyim. Religious books are full with stories of ancient Jewish prophets, who on their murdering god's orders, sent the Jews to commit crimes against the goyim, sparing none and murdering all; infants and old on both sexes, to commit crimes against farm animals; slaying all the flocks, and to commit crimes against environment; burning cities, cutting down fruit trees and burning crops. The story of prophet Samuel and king Saul is just one example of many in the Old Testament and the Talmud. At times this murdering god joins in the war and cast down hailstones and fire on Israel's enemies. Thus Israeli students learn that murdering goyims and destroying their cities are not just sanctioned by god but they are religious duties.

God is still talking to Israeli Rabbis to direct Israel in its war against the Arabs. Israeli Rabbis publish religious decrees sanctifying Israelis' aggression against Palestinians. Rabbi "Murdachai Eliahu", Israel's previous Chief Rabbi, published religious decrees calling for genocide of all Palestinians as a religious duty. Rabbi "Eleazar Malmid" published religious decrees encouraging Israelis to steal and burn Palestinian crops, to kill their farm animals, and to poison their water wells. Such crimes have become nightly adventurous passing time for Israeli youth from Israeli colonies against their neighboring Palestinian farming towns. The extremist religious decrees were published by Israeli Chief Spiritual Leader Rabbi "Yosef ‘Obadia", who described the Palestinians as critters and cockroaches to be stepped on. He also preaches that the coming Messiah will shove all heathen Arabs in hell. In September 2005 prominent Israeli Rabbis, led by Rabbi "Dov Lenor", sent a religious decree to then Israeli Prime Minister "Ariel Sharon" permitting him to target Palestinian civilians, citing ancient Israeli kings such as Saul and David, who were directed by god to target all goyims without exception; children as well as adults.

These religious decrees become laws and are taught in Israeli schools side by side with other religious books that glorify Israeli war criminals describing them as saints for killing Palestinian goyims, such as the book "Baruch, the Hero" written by Rabbi "Izhak Genzburg". The book glorifies the terrorist "Baruch Goldstein", who in 1994 murdered 29 Palestinians and wounded many others while kneeling in prayer in the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron before being killed by other prayers. "Baruch" was called a saint for his crime. He was buried in Israeli colony of "Kiryat Arba'" and his grave became a pilgrimage to extreme religious Israelis.

These Zionist religious military institutions threaten not only the Arabs but peace in the Middle East generally and the Israeli state itself specifically. Many observers, including Israeli military generals, believe that these institutions are preparing for the overthrow of the secular Israeli government and turning it into a Zionist religious one. A study done by Israeli Bar-Ilan University at Ramat Gan had found that 99% of students in these religious military institutions, and that 90% or Orthodox religious Israelis would ignore the secular Israeli laws and follow their Rabbi's religious decrees when and if these two contradict each other. These findings were confirmed by an opinion poll done by "Hertzlia Center" in 2006 indicating that 95% of the religious Israeli soldiers and generals see themselves following religious decrees rather than secular laws when they contradict. This was apparent in 2004 while late Prime Minister "Ariel Sharon" implemented the "Disengagement Plan" by withdrawing Israeli colonies from Gaza Strip. The prominent Rabbi "Abraham Shapiro" called on his students and followers to desert the Israeli army if the plan is implemented, while Rabbi "Haim Druckman" called on his students and followers to open fire on the Israeli security forces if they try to implement the plan by force.

These are just few facts about the terrorist Israeli educational system. I invite concerned reporters, such as Barbara Walters, to further investigate this matter, and to do a fair comparison between Arab and Israeli educational systems.
