Un...believable:

The Ministry of Education has decided to enable the children of Sderot to study in safety by conducting all classes in the schools' bomb shelters. The decision, reports NRG, was reached in an emergency discussion convened this week by the director of the Ministry's Southern District, Amira Chaim, with the local supervisors and security officers of Sderot.

Minister of Education Yuli Tamir arrived in Sderot Friday morning and will talk to representatives of the parents of Sderot's school children. She will present them with the alternatives for protection of their children, including busing.

A special Ministry of Education budget, estimated at hundreds of thousands of shekels, will be devoted to turning the shelters into classrooms by installing air conditioners, ventilation devices, acoustic ceilings, lighting, carpets and steel doors in all of them.

"The District Director has already asked me to order the air conditioners immediately," said Miriam Sasi, the director of education in Sderot municipality, according to NRG. "My estimate is that it will be possible to finish the refurbishing by the beginning of the new school year," she said...

A country with the ability to make its people safe instead is educating its children in a burial pit. What a world.

In a seemingly neverending series of depressing stories about how modern Israel governs itself, this may be the most depressing story yet. The Israeli government is surrerndering rather than fight back............

What the hell is Olmert thinking.

Jack,

What the hell is Olmert thinking.

That last word is an unwarranted assumption.

As Israeli kids prepare to go underground in order to get an education, "Seventy-six Sudanese refugees, ages four and up, will be integrated into the Israeli school system during the coming academic year, according to an announcement by Education Minister Yuli Tamir Sunday. "

Strange silence from UN bodies which purport to look after the well being of children all over the world.
