EVEN before the Solidarity Week with Palestine officially kick off this Sunday (Oct 29), some schools have already gone wild over the celebration which included among others, the use of ‘weapons’ by young children similar to what their Palestinian peers are groomed to do.
Clad in balaclava masks, some young children were caught on photographs holding toy AK47 rifles and ‘marching’ around ala-militants in the school compound.
Such initiatives had some parents worried about whatever is happening to the schools. One parent asked, “Are we now becoming a Taliban nation? Any idea how to stop this nonsense that schools are used to express solidarity with Palestinians?”
Amid such ‘craze’ which is to be expected as many adult Malaysians are already spiritually ‘up in arms’ in the Israel-Hamas conflict, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek has issued a statement saying that some schools had already gone ahead with the solidarity celebration.
“The Education Ministry will not compromise on what has happened,” she is quoted saying to her fellow Cabinet ministers.
