October 29th 1956 - 50th anniversary of the 'massacre in Kafr Kassam: Truth and Political Correctness
Teaching Our Children.
by Steven Shamrak.
Israeli Education Minister Yuli Tamir has just signed a directive to public schools to mark the 50th anniversary of the 'massacre in Kafr Kassam'; the shooting of Israeli Arabs by security forces October 29th 1956. It only took a week, almost no time at all by Israel's political calendar, to approve this self-hating idea, which was suggested by MK Zehava Gal-On (Meretz).
While the children of Israel are required to remember this tragic event, I wonder, if the children of Israel will learn that those Arabs ignored and defied a military curfew prohibiting movement during the 1956 conflict? Will they also learn about the uncountable number of massacres of the Jews by Arabs, including the ones in Hevron, both before and after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948?
Will the children learn about David ben Gurion's order to sink Irgun's weapon supply boat the Altalena [June 1948], in order to maintain their own political superiority, at a time when Jews had no arms to fight Arabs? Will these children learn that the executioner who relentlessly sunk the boat and killed the Jewish crew was Yitzhak Rabin?
The left wing of the Israel political bureaucracy does not want people to know how they betrayed Zionism, and that after the Oslo agreement, they promptly took Zionist education out of Israel's schools. Even in the army Zionist political education is restricted. At the same time, the Arabs are continuously teaching their children hatred toward the Jews.
These corrupt, self-centred, and egomaniacal politicians do not hesitate to murder Jews – physically, morally and spiritually - in order to serve their own interests. Without a National goal, it is easy for them to control and manipulate the nation; a people who are now driven by apathy and despair.
Will Jewish children learn, as they should, that Palestine is Eretz-Israel? Will they learn that this is so not just because it is our ancestral land, but because it was approved as the Land of Israel, (including Jordan), by the League of Nations. That organization gave the same opportunity to Arabs, through the system of mandates, to create their own state. Will the children learn how Britain and France, together with Arab countries, robbed the Jews of their historical, moral and legal right to the entire Land of Israel?
It is what Jewish children should learn, and they should also learn to rebel against the hypocrisy and self-hate that has been fostered and propagated in Jewish communities by the self-loathing, 'politically correct' and corrupt Israeli leadership!

In spite of all the brutality which again and again has been used against the Jews, and only against the Jews, it has not caused most of the Jews to realise its true cause.
..the extreme Jewish left, both in Israel and the diaspora, deny the reality and ignore the thirst for Jewish blood which is found all over in the Arab world and in the Islamic East. To speak of this fact is politically incorrect, regardless of how many Arabs are found with knives in their hands and with their mouths have said the simple message: “We wish to murder a Jew”; not a soldier, not a settler, not an enemy but - “a Jew “!
The year was 1929 and the day was a Jewish holy day, the Sabbath. ... The massacres on the established Jewish society as in Hebron, Jerusalem and Safed, and the murder of Arab-speaking Jews and Jewesses, who had Arabs as neighbors and business partners, shocked the established Jewish community so deeply that none of them dared to come back home to Hebron after the liberation in 1967, despite the fact that their families had lived their from time immemorial.
“… Rabbi Meir Castel, 69 years age and rabbi Zvi Dribkin 67 years age, and five young men were attacked, castrated and murdered under inhuman torture. The baker Noach Immerman was grilled alive over an open fire. . The rabbi of Zichron Ya’akov, Avraham Ya’akov Orlansky Hacohen, who came to pray in Hebron, was taken away in the middle of prayer still wearing his prayer shawl. His brain was cut out and his wife murdered by hacking her bowels to small pieces. [the doctor and] pharmacist Gershon Ben Zion, who was dependent on the wheel-chair, who had worked in Hebron for more than 40 years and who had extensively helped the Arab population, got his nose and fingers cut off before he was murdered. His daughters were raped and murdered under cruel torture. Both of his wife’s hands were hacked off and she died in the hospital in Jerusalem. The 2 year old Menahem Segal was beheaded. The teachers Haim-Eliezer Dobnikov and Yitzhak Abushadid were murdered by hanging... Rabbi Grodzensky’s eyes were cut out before his head was smashed. A girl was raped by 13 Arabs, right in front of her father, before he too was murdered. Her mother and sister were seriously mutilated. In the house of Abushadid’s family, a baby was held by the legs and struck against the wall smashing his head. Many people had their eyes cut out before they were murdered.
