A disturbing story from The JC:
Teenagers visiting Britain to promote Israel’s cause in schools found themselves in the firing line when a teacher launched a verbal attack on them in front of stunned pupils.
Yishai Binnes, 18, and three friends got more than they bargained for shortly after stepping off the plane and arriving at an East London school with a high Muslim population.
In what was their first of many visits to schools up and down the country, one teacher appeared to take exception to their positive message.
“It was a baptism of fire,” said Yishal, who delayed his army duty for the tour. “The teacher got more and more heated, at one point screaming at us that we murder children. The kids were shocked by a grown man who was yelling at teenagers.”
Idan Fast, a student at Tel Aviv University, added: “There was a lot of hostility. The teacher started shouting at us that our army targets innocent children. I was afraid.”
