Psychological Study Of The Mentality Of Jewish Children Current rating: -2
10 Jun 2003
RAMALLA, 8 June 2003 â€" A letter from a Jewish child to a Palestinian child, said, “I hope you and your family will burn in hell.” These ugly expressions and desires come from an Israeli child who took part in a research study. The study was conducted by an Israeli researcher and translated into Arabic. The study was presented to a teaching committee at the London School of Economics (LSE). The researcher is a former soldier and a member of the anti-terrorist unit in the Israeli army. He studied psychology at the LSE.
The study involved more than eighty Israeli children and it indicates that the current generation is passing a Zionist legacy to the next generation. Zionism is being passed to the younger generation — even more than knowledge of the Torah. The parents of this generation know how to plant hate and anger toward Arabs in children’s minds to such an extent that children are happy to hear of the death of Palestinian child or to hear news of a Palestinian official’s being assassinated. The researcher observed the problem and has searched for results and reasons. The reason he conducted the study was because of a contradiction in Israeli policy. In August 2000, Ehud Barak promised to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and in August 2001, Sharon was talking about the assassination policy.

The researcher talked to eighty-four children after the suicide bombing in the nightclub. The result shows the hate Israeli children harbor towards Palestinians has reached a high point. Children under the age of eight have pictures in their minds of Palestinian children as blind and with no teeth. They wish that those children would suffer from Aids and burn in hell. Israeli children admitted to these feelings. What is even stranger is that they used very strong language, which cannot be published here.

The researcher asked each child to write a letter to a Palestinian. He also asked them to draw a picture of a Palestinian child. The results were amazing because of the quantity of hate these children under the age of eight manifest. There is a mixture of fear and anger in these children. To begin with, the children asked two questions. The first was whether to write the letter to a good or bad Palestinian and the second was if they could curse in the letter.

These are excerpts from some of the letters written by Israeli children to their Palestinian counterparts. A girl wrote, “I wish that you would die and be sick. I am looking forward for the day of your death.” Another child wrote, “I do not like what you are doing to us and I hope you die.” Another child wrote, “To disgusting Muhammad, I want you to die. I want you to live a bad life. I do not like you. I hate you because you are terrorists. I hope you burn in hell.” Another child wrote, “To ugly Yassir, do you think you will win? I think you are very wrong. Here is some advice for you — take a knife and stick it in your father’s and mother’s hearts and then blow yourself up.” Another child wrote, “Greetings to a girl who lives with bad people. I want you to tell your father to stop attacking us and for peace to prevail. I hope you will grow old quickly and die fast.” Another one wrote, “I hope you are sick and will die quickly.”

An Israeli child drew a cartoon of a Palestinian child watching a suicide bomber on TV and saying as he laughed, “This is exciting. Many people are killed.” Another child wrote, “To me, you are nothing. You are stupid and dissolute. We are going to blow you up until you all die. You are happy because you blow us up and kill us. Wait until we blow you up.” Another child wrote, “I know it is difficult to live without a home. I do not like your people fighting my people. We want to live in peace.” Another child wrote, “I want to say you are a piece of garbage. I hope you die, amen. That is all what I wanted to say.” Another child said, “Oh Killers! You are disgusting. Your bodies are rotten. I wish you sons of dogs would all die.” A young child wrote, “What do you want from us? You have taken everything. Stop.” Another one wrote, “The only thing I want to know is why you look ugly and wear torn clothes. It is easy to distinguish one of you in a crowd. It only makes me sick.”

The researcher said that all Israeli children believe that Arabs are bad and Israelis are good, that Jews want peace and Arabs want war and that Jews are human and Arabs are not. The researcher assures us that such feelings are increasing in these children. The researcher wants to find why Jewish children bear so much hate for Arabs. He asked an Arab child to write a letter to an Israeli child. The researcher said, “The letter came as a shock to me.” The Arab girl wrote, “To the Israeli child that I saw at the Pyramids in Egypt. My father refused to allow me to talk to you. I told him I wanted you to be my friend so I could ask you why Israelis are killing Palestinians.” Now, let us look at the difference of vision between Israeli and Palestinian children.

In the future we may conduct a similar study of Arab children’s feeling toward Israelis. The most important question is who — or what — is responsible for forming these beliefs in young children. Israel has achieved a huge success in molding the minds of children younger than ten. Thus does Zionist thought develop day by day. Hate and anger are being planted in children and this will make it impossible to reach a peace agreement between the two peoples.

The article "Psychological Study of the Mentality of Zionist Children" is a fabrication.

'Study' Made Up Quotes, Facts, To Prove Israeli Kids Want Arabs To 'Burn In
Hell'.

In an apparent attempt to turn the tables on critics, a Saudi-owned weekly
published a story claiming a study shows Israeli society is teaching its
children to hate Palestinian children, making a peace agreement impossible.

However, in a statement sent to WorldNetDaily, the author of the study says
Arabic-language al-Majalla magazine completely misrepresented his work.
Fabrications?

That's why this is in the Hidden Files. It was posted by our well-known troll, Dan Disinfo. We appreciate the input, however.

BTW, if you are concerned about reading fabrications, I would caution you against over-reliance on WorldNetDaily for factual corroboration.
