- Jeff - This is a heartbreaker. I feel devestated after
reading it. Israel should be so ashamed. They have assassinated the mentalities
and spirits of their own children. How can there ever be 'peace' in the
present or future of this land? What a curse they have put on their own.
The parents and teachers of these children must be demons to use their
children as tools and human weapons of hatred and destruction. They have
doomed these kids to miserable lives of futile, degenerate, immoral years
of unsolvable violence, destruction and evil energies, in a hell of their
own making. Simply terrorist hatred. Why should anyone want to help or
save these creatures? They are spoiled, inncorrigiable, spiteful and vindictive.

- Israeli Study Of The Mentality Of Jewish Children
- By Tayseer Jaber * Al-Majalla
- 6-9-3
-
- RAMALLA -- A letter
from a Jewish child to a Palestinian child, said, "I hope you and
your family will burn in hell." These ugly expressions and desires
come from an Israeli child who took part in a research study. The study
was conducted by an Israeli researcher and translated into Arabic. The
study was presented to a teaching committee at the London School of Economics
(LSE). The researcher is a former soldier and a member of the anti-terrorist
unit in the Israeli army. He studied psychology at the LSE.
-
- The study involved more than eighty Israeli children
and it indicates that the current generation is passing a Zionist legacy
to the next generation. Zionism is being passed to the younger generation
- even more than knowledge of the Torah. The parents of this generation
know how to plant hate and anger toward Arabs in children's minds to such
an extent that children are happy to hear of the death of Palestinian child
or to hear news of a Palestinian official's being assassinated. The researcher
observed the problem and has searched for results and reasons. The reason
he conducted the study was because of a contradiction in Israeli policy.
In August 2000, Ehud Barak promised to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
and in August 2001, Sharon was talking about the assassination policy.
-
- The researcher talked to eighty-four children after the
suicide bombing in the nightclub. The result shows the hate Israeli children
harbor towards Palestinians has reached a high point. Children under the
age of eight have pictures in their minds of Palestinian children as blind
and with no teeth. They wish that those children would suffer from Aids
and burn in hell. Israeli children admitted to these feelings. What is
even stranger is that they used very strong language, which cannot be published
here.
-
- The researcher asked each child to write a letter to
a Palestinian. He also asked them to draw a picture of a Palestinian child.
The results were amazing because of the quantity of hate these children
under the age of eight manifest. There is a mixture of fear and anger in
these children. To begin with, the children asked two questions. The first
was whether to write the letter to a good or bad Palestinian and the second
was if they could curse in the letter.
-
- These are excerpts from some of the letters written by
Israeli children to their Palestinian counterparts. A girl wrote, "I
wish that you would die and be sick. I am looking forward for the day of
your death." Another child wrote, "I do not like what you are
doing to us and I hope you die." Another child wrote, "To disgusting
Muhammad, I want you to die. I want you to live a bad life. I do not like
you. I hate you because you are terrorists. I hope you burn in hell."
Another child wrote, "To ugly Yassir, do you think you will win? I
think you are very wrong. Here is some advice for you - take a knife
and stick it in your father's and mother's hearts and then blow yourself
up." Another child wrote, "Greetings to a girl who lives with
bad people. I want you to tell your father to stop attacking us and for
peace to prevail. I hope you will grow old quickly and die fast."
Another one wrote, "I hope you are sick and will die quickly."
-
- An Israeli child drew a cartoon of a Palestinian child
watching a suicide bomber on TV and saying as he laughed, "This is
exciting. Many people are killed." Another child wrote, "To me,
you are nothing. You are stupid and dissolute. We are going to blow you
up until you all die. You are happy because you blow us up and kill us.
Wait until we blow you up." Another child wrote, "I know it is
difficult to live without a home. I do not like your people fighting my
people. We want to live in peace." Another child wrote, "I want
to say you are a piece of garbage. I hope you die, amen. That is all what
I wanted to say." Another child said, "Oh Killers! You are disgusting.
Your bodies are rotten. I wish you sons of dogs would all die." A
young child wrote, "What do you want from us? You have taken everything.
Stop." Another one wrote, "The only thing I want to know is why
you look ugly and wear torn clothes. It is easy to distinguish one of you
in a crowd. It only makes me sick."
-
- The researcher said that all Israeli children believe
that Arabs are bad and Israelis are good, that Jews want peace and Arabs
want war and that Jews are human and Arabs are not. The researcher assures
us that such feelings are increasing in these children. The researcher
wants to find why Jewish children bear so much hate for Arabs. He asked
an Arab child to write a letter to an Israeli child. The researcher said,
"The letter came as a shock to me." The Arab girl wrote, "To
the Israeli child that I saw at the Pyramids in Egypt. My father refused
to allow me to talk to you. I told him I wanted you to be my friend so
I could ask you why Israelis are killing Palestinians." Now, let us
look at the difference of vision between Israeli and Palestinian children.
-
- In the future we may conduct a similar study of Arab
children's feeling toward Israelis. The most important question is who
- or what - is responsible for forming these beliefs in young
children. Israel has achieved a huge success in molding the minds of children
younger than ten. Thus does Zionist thought develop day by day. Hate and
anger are being planted in children and this will make it impossible to
reach a peace agreement between the two peoples.
