My TV Show - ShababNet
Welcome
On March 19, 2008, Excalibur published my article in the Opinions section
under the headline “Jewish attack not a surprise” about the school
shooting at Mercaz Harav school in Jerusalem, one week ahead of the IDF
military actions in Gaza.
My article attempted to posit an explanation for why the school was
targeted from the alleged perspective of the Palestinian population. The
article was not offering a justification for murder as the pro-Israeli
community are trying to claim.
Unfortuantly Excalibur's editors misrepresented my article and printed a
headline that was not reflective of the article or the attack itself, not
to mention they have used the verb "I" and wrote on my behalf without
informing me.
Although Excalibur's editors reserve the right to change article
headlines, they should do so with discretion. I realize that I am not
obligated to submit articles to Excalibur, but Excalibur paper's editors
are obligated to uphold journalistic integrity and this includes not
editing articles as to change a writer's intent. It is unfortunate that
they have chosen to edit my article to fuel a debate and increase their
editorial submissions even though after the chief editor stated to me that
she will do her best to ensure this doesn't happen with any of my future
contributions.
I can only hope that Excalibur editors use as much editing "discretion"
with other submissions as they did with mine.

My original Submission to Excalibur
It’s no wonder why Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav Kook School was attacked
No wonder why Ala'a Hisham Abu Dhaim targeted Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav Kook
School in Jerusalem.
Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav Kook School is described as a religious camp that
links between Judaism with Zionism. This makes it very different from any
other anti-Zionist Orthodox schools in Israel.
This institution established a programme known as the "Yeshivat Hesder".
The word "Hesder" means the settlement of a curriculum that combines
Talmudic studies with military service.
In other words this school has direct connections with the IDF, and its
graduate students are those whom are committing a holocaust in Gaza in the
Palestinians eyes.
This school strengthens the idea on its students and graduates of the land
of Israel from the Euphrates to the Nile, as well as the need to make this
land a "religious land" which means there should not be any right to
return for the Palestinians that were expelled from their land.
The school has around 500 students aged between 18 - 30 years. Many of its
graduates went on to found other similar religious schools in the west
bank settlements which are described as racist among the Orthodox-Jews.
In the eyes of the Palestinians it was the IDF who started the holocaust
in Gaza, and the Palestinians are simply targeting the source of that
attack.
After this incident, thousands went out protesting in Jerusalem cheering
"Death to the Arabs". Note here that they're wishing death to all the
Arabs whether they are Palestinians or not. This makes many understand or
at least assume that the teachings of many of those whom have protested
are against the Arabs as whole not just against the Palestinians.
Let’s also not forget the famous quote of the Israeli Prime Minister
“Menachem Begin” in his speech to the Knesset. June, 25, 1982.
"[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs."
