Following a pro-Palestine demonstration by two learners, a Jewish community school says it’s committed to developing “safe spaces” to facilitate freedom of speech.
Two grade nine learners “took a knee” in protest during the singing of the Israeli national anthem at the Herzlia Middle School prize giving in Oranjezicht last week.
One of the learners who “took a knee” last week says he did it to show his support for Palestine and in protest against what he calls the “restriction of information”.

“When the teachers teach you stuff, they only teach you one side of the story. So, while a Jewish Life teacher might say ‘Oh no, it’s totally fine for you to talk about pro-Palestine ideas’, he’s only going to teach you pro-Israel ideas inside that class.”
He also hopes it will start a conversation within the Jewish community about what’s happening in Israel and Palestine.
“I hope that once this all dies down, people will be closer to the middle. The extreme left-wing people will be closer to understanding why the extreme right-wing people have their views and the people on the extreme right will be closer to understanding why the left have their views. And closer to being a normal thing that people talk about instead of this taboo, an insidious evil thing that divides our community.”

Where does it say they are Muslim? My impression is that they where Jewish students...

Nothing in the article to suggest that they are Muslim.

Shame, Geography must not be a thing in that school. Someone should show these little snowflakes where their country is so they can start moving in the right direction, give them a compass and map or something.

Apply this logic to global politics.

This kid has more sense than the average adult.

Why do these brats hate the IDF and those who died for their freedom?

You've gotta read the username "Ninja'd" as a permanent comic sans font or /sarcasm switch.

Besides, those brats were kneeling during the Israeli anthem to check the detonators on their suicide vests, duh!

Just taking Trump's words about those who kneel and applying it here.

Why do they play the Israeli anthem anyway? You don't hear about Catholic schools playing the Imperial March Pontifical Anthem.
