"Hamas is a terrorist organization responsible for the murder of 1,400 innocent Israelis, including children, women, and the elderly, and it has abducted over 200 people to Gaza," the ministry said. "This stance disqualifies her from being an educational and moral role model, and she is no longer eligible to serve as an inspiration and educator for Israeli students."

WHY would she be "in curriculum?" She is a child and deceived by evil. Even that expression gives her away.
Should the entire world end the support for this sick, miserable, angry girl?
