From today’s Washington Times, a frightening article about the state of education in the Arab Middle East.  Far from promoting peace, many classes and textbooks promote hatred of the United States and Israel and encourage kids to take violent action on behlaf of terrorist entities.  Take, for example, this clip from Hamas’s al-Aqsa TV that shows a young boy killing President Bush and turning the White House into a mosque (thanks to MEMRI for the translation).

Today’s students will be the leaders of tomorrow; the fact that they’re learning to view Israel and the United States with a measure of loathing and hatred makes us wonder what the region will look like in the future.  We can only hope that the state of education changes soon.

After reporting on all the dignitaries that have visited Sderot over the past several months, the New York Times notes that the city is becoming a destination for Israel supporters and their donations.
Foreign diplomats have been going to Sderot to see the cost of Hamas-sponsored terrorism and aid groups–both Jewish and non-Jewish–have donated money to protect Israeli civilians.  Volunteers from around the world have also come to help.
Now that the world is watching, will the rain of missiles slow?
