    Israeli school

    Jewish school. The two terms are not synonymous however convenient some Israeli politicians find it to pretend that they are.

      "Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the “Israel school.”

      The place does have the words "Hebrew Israelite" on the door. It's part of their own hateful ignorance and misrepresentation of Judaism.

      Just because the real things are called Jewish Schools, doesn't make the commenter wrong for basically quoting her ignorant intentions.

        "Israelite" is not a synonym for "Israeli", either. The poster is conflating "Jewish" with "Israeli" all on their own and that is not OK.

          No, she is a fool, so she thought she'd be hurting Israelis.

          Edit to add : the cops, who know what a Jewish school really is, are the ones who used that term, not her.
