Residents of Kibbutz Na'an and other communities in the Rehovot area blocked the entrance to a nearby IDF communications base yesterday morning in a protest against an antenna complex in the army camp, which they say emits harmful radiation.
Some 300 pupils at the Ganei Hillel School at Kibbutz Na'an have been kept home by their parents since the begining of the week, to protest the presence of the antennae. The headquarters of the communities' campaign said that studies will not resume until the Defense Ministry orders the removal of the antennae from the base.
Did I not suggest months ago to use an additional tactic of blocking IDF bases to prevent the troops from even reaching the area of Gush Katif and not to wait until all the troops are there?
Seems it's now an "acceptable" behavior.
And as for the left-wing's criticism that we should not use children, read on (and thanks to RA):-
However, residents' support for the school strike is uneven. "If radiation is, in fact, emitted," said one Kfar Bilu resident who opposes sanctions, "there is no question that the site must be relocated. But I don't understand why we have to fight this war at our children's expense. We have the feeling that people are straying from the central goal and creating a situation that disrupts orderly registration for the coming school year."
Protest leader Colodner did not understand why this is a problem. In his opinion, the children's participation in demonstrations is an education in democracy.
