1. Now you know why young Israelis give us a bad name

2. Calm down: the intention was good (so-so), when governments
(09.19.17)
commit similar acts (bad results of"good" intentions) nobody screams bloody murder!
3. Vandalism
mordechai ,   san francisco   (09.19.17)
Vandalism in Israel by students is a serious problem. The people of Migdal HaEmek are very good people. I have family there.
4. Stop Making Excuses
Pauline ,   Netanya   (09.19.17)
Maybe if we stopped making excuses for young adults and actually made wrongdoers take responsibility for their actions instead of trying to baby them all the time then we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

Stop trying to blame the education system, or the government or anyone else for what happened. We all know neither the government nor the system are perfect ... they are very very far from it actually. But respect for one's self and for others and the property of others is first and formost learnt at home !!

5. Punishment should fit the crime....
Jewess ,   Israel   (09.19.17)
Send them back to Auschwitz-Birkenau and have them clean it up! It is really difficult to clean spray paint. I promise they won't do this EVER again anywhere!

After they are done cleaning the spray paint...have them spend a week learning about Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Finally a word to the Ministry of Education...it is time to stop with the Holocaust as teenagers school trip business. These trips are expensive, the children are NOT old enough to understand and appreciate what they are learning...and in essence all the kid's do is party and have a good time.
6. these Disney tours to the Holocaust need to stop!
Emett ,   Israel   (09.19.17)
but they won't stop because most probably someone in the ministry of education owns the travel agency that is being used to send these kids on expensive trips!
