GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza's Hamas rulers prevented a group of children from entering Israel on Sunday for a postwar conciliatory trip meant to foster peace, Hamas and organizers said.
The 37 children, most of whom have lost a parent in fighting between Hamas and Israel, were to enter Israel on Sunday and spend a week visiting Jewish and Arab communities and a zoo. They were also going to travel to the West Bank for a meeting with the Palestinian president.
But a bus carrying the children and their adult chaperones was turned back when it reached the main crossing between Gaza and Israel. Hamas spokesman Eyad Bozum said the decision was made "to protect the culture of our children and our people" from normalizing relations with Israel. He said Hamas would make sure such a trip "will never happen again."

And the children were told the Jews were going to drink their blood in a religious ceremony.
Sunni and Shite can't even co-exist. Islam is evil and needs to be eradicated.

Cancel the plans for a Mideast Peace Treaty.
Multiculturalism for thee but not for me.
The Religion of Pieces being peaceful again.
I’m very surprised the trip got that close to happening at all. That says that some Palestinian parents were okay with it. That says the parents were not afraid of being punished by the Taliban types for making a pro-Israel decision. This may be a good sign. Meanwhile, Israel, stay vigilant and watchful.
Give us a short description of that “culture” being protected, please!
Ask Hamas. Preferably from a great distance.
SSDD.
Would these hamas idiots stop their sick children from going to Israel to be treated? Yes. They are hopelessly uncivilized degenerates.
They did however offer to fire the children over the border on rockets...
*chuckle* I’ll bet they did.
As soon as Hamas blows up a few children guess the first place they take those children.
