A 13-year-old girl was suspended from school last week after she expressed concern for Palestinian children in Gaza during a class discussion on Hamas’s October 7 massacre, according to Hebrew media reports.

According to Channel 12 News, when it was her turn to speak, the girl, a member of the Arab Bedouin community, mentioned that innocent children were killed in Gaza. “There are hungry children in Gaza, there are children without a home,” she reportedly said during the discussion.

Following a heated incident after the class in which dozens of other students cursed the girl and threw things at her, she was suspended for three days.

She also said that since October 7, students have repeatedly asked her if she supports the Hamas terror group because she wears a hijab headscarf.

“The students started telling me: ‘Our soldiers are not murderers,’ even though I didn’t say that… and others cursed me,” the girl told Haaretz. “They asked me if I supported Palestine, and I said no and that I only support the small children in Gaza returning to their homes.”

Ibn Bari charged that the school’s decision to suspend the girl was “extreme and even illegal,” adding that the other students had chanted, “May your village burn,” and accused her of disrespecting Israel Defense Force troops serving in Gaza after she expressed concern for Palestinian children.

      Only brainwashed Germans and Israelis think these to be mutually exclusive.

      Given that the Palestinians are the direct ancestors of the people of Moses upon whom be peace, the israeli state has been the worst enemy to the people of Moses since the Pharaoh.
