Olmert to Sderot Moms: Send Kids to Unprotected Schools
Olmert to Sderot Moms: Send Kids to Unprotected Schools(IsraelNN.com) In spite of the lack of shielding from Kassam rockets, Prime Minster Ehud Olmert has asked Sderot parents to send their children to school at the beginning of the new school year next week. The Sderot Parents Association has threatened to keep their children home until proper protection is in place. Speaking at the “Education City” convention in Holon on Monday Olmert said “Don’t deprive your children of this experience, with all the dangers you face.”
In spite of government promises, the majority of Sderot schools still lack protection from Kassam rockets fired from Gaza. Just last week a Kassam exploded in an empty schoolyard.
Very easy for Olmert to ask the parents of Sderot to put their children at risk. Why can he ask others to risk their children when his own kids have never been at risk. Olmert should end the security risk to Sderot by hitting the terrorist of Gaza day in and day out.
