Kindergarten: Gaza Style

You may not remember your kindergarten graduation but it probably wasn't like a recent one in the Gaza Strip. The IDF just released photos of an Islamic jihad kindergarten graduation last month -- not what you'd expect from say "Little Garden," "Apple Tree" or "Rainbow" kindergartens.

According to the IDF Flicker, one of the kids gushed after his graduation, "I love the resistance and the martyrs and Palestine, and I want to blow myself up on Zionists and kill them on a bus in a suicide bombing."

The director declared, “At every graduation ceremony, it is our obligation to educate the children to love the resistance, Palestine, and Jerusalem, so they will recognize the importance of Palestine and who its enemy is.”

The pictures -- one of which shows a child dressed up as an Israeli prison guard torturing a Palestinian -- are troubling. It makes one wonder the region's future when this is how the next generation in Gaza is being raised.
