Ha-Ha-Haaretz Disappointed

Calling it Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar's greatest achievement of all", referring to

the baton of incitement has passed from the delusional fringes to the very heart of the political arena - the government.


Haaretz notes that he


has doubled the number of schoolchildren visiting the Temple Mount and the City of David, from 200,000 two years ago to 400,000 since the start of the current school year. Under a new program drafted by the Education Ministry on the minister's orders, students are obligated to visit Jerusalem at least three times during their 12 years of school.

In theory, there is nothing wrong with this. Yet the visits tend to focus on sites like the Old City's Jewish Quarter, the Western Wall tunnels, Zion Gate and the archaeological excavations of the Temple Mount's southern wall - all disputed areas that are on the agenda during negotiations with the Palestinians, and are also associated with new Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem.



In theory?

In practice as well.

It's just that Ha-Ha-Haaretz has a warped theory about the conflict.

And the paper is so disappointed,
