Why only Gaza? Presumably because the headmaster has the hots for Galloway and his friends. Why is it that so many educators and academics, from this guy above, to the UCU, to 'Miriam' in Canada's head of department, seem only to have the sense given to halfwits? MTC

During the invasion of Iraq, moments of silence were held in the classroom. Cultural presentations involved only Muslim culture and no Canadian content. Students were allowed to leave assembly during the playing of the national anthem." Good grief. If that is their attitude to Canadian social norms, they should be put on boats and told to fuck off back to wherever they came from. Re 'Monty', the 9.38 post is obviously a malicious troll, not the real poster. “The principal instructed teachers not to offend their Muslim students; they were not to look students in the eye, they were not to gesture with the forefinger to bid them approach and they were not to interfere with male students who were physically aggressive to male teachers.

And Barad, don't fret over it. Posting under someone else's user name is such a risible tactic. Thanks Gang, I’m the real Monty. And Barad, don’t fret over it.

I haven't been round here very long but I have never seen Monty say anything remotely like this before. Someone was using Graham's name the other day to post similar sentiments so maybe they are at it again. Whoever did write that comment deserves the reply you gave them. Barad-

If Israel did to the Palestinians what the nazis did to the Jews there would be no Palestinians, not multiples of the Arab population of 50 years ago. Also, I forget if apparently highly-integrated, peaceful, quite secular and loyal German Jews were lobbing rockets at their neighbours, carrying out suicide bombings or calling for the annihalation of the German people in their historic homeland. I bet some of your best friends are Jews too! B Monty,

Whats wrong with you people. Are you ignorant or just racists? These kids, for not fault of their own, live the worse possible form of existence...and you all think they should be denied a few toys and presents? Wow. How humane of you....Just be thankful that your children do not have live in Gaza and suffer under the Israelis....we can all have our opinions on Hamas, Fatah and Israel, but you guys are pissed off because this school decided to reach out to some kids? Some right wing Rabbi came out recently saying that if Jews suspect that a child is going to grow up and harm a Jew, then it is the right of Jews to kill that child...feel free to check Haaretz for news about that...from what I have read above, I guess this Rabbi has more followers than I thought possible. As per this website's claim re Liberty and telling people what they don't want to hear - Israel - note: not Judaism as a whole - is doing to the Palestinians what the nazis did to the Jews...when you think Gaza, think Ghetto and remember the crime that was committed against the Jewish people. Yeah, this is soo terrible…sending toys and presents to kids who up until recently have lived their entire lives under a brutal and inhumane occupation is just wrong…the fact that the occupation has now turned into a permanent seige denying them even the most basic supplies makes this charitable effort even worse…the fact that some 30,000 homes were destroyed earlier this year by Israel’s attack on Gaza leaving thousands of children homeless because Israel refuses to allow cement into Gaza for reconstruction should matter even less…really, we should join in with Israel and kill a few more hundred Palestinian kids like they did earlier this year and like they have been doing for the last 60 or so years.

Would you want to lay money on that being the case? I certainly would not. I would feel less queasy about this case if they were genuinely trying to relieve suffering on both sides but they are not they are acting as Hamas's useful idiots. I would pull my child out of a school that did something like that. MindTheCrap said:”And of course they sent postcards to the children of Sderot …..”
