Twelfth grade students from a high school in Kfar Saba hung signs encouraging and threatening to rape 10th graders who came to high school. Tomorrow (Tuesday) the parents plan to suspend schooling in all high schools in the city.
Last week, 12th graders at Katznelson High School prepared signs for the start of the school year. They included implicit threats of rape with, among other things, it read - "Ayia Napa - 12, Eilat - 30, Twelfth - 100".
The captions echo two shocking cases: the first took place in Eilat last month and recently an indictment was filed against young people involved in the rape, and the second case occurred last year on the island of Ayia Napa in Greece, when young Israelis were arrested on suspicion of raping a British tourist.
It was also written on one of the signs: "Silence = consent" and in another illustration, a 10th grade student was allegedly drawn, with dozens of rectangles in front of her, symbolizing 12th grade students.
Due to the incident, parents from the city of Kfar Saba decided to disable all high schools in the city tomorrow (Tuesday).
"Tomorrow all girls and high school girls will show up with their parents, caring citizens in red shirts - and will not go in to study," it read.
"This is a warning strike:" Our daughters will not return to school until we know that the case has been dealt with in full severity and that silence of sexual violence in Kfar Saba will not be silenced. "They ended the reading with the words" Our daughters are not no man's land. "
The Kfar Saba Municipality stated: "We take any manifestation of violence very seriously, and strongly condemn the actions of the students, acts that have no place in our city or anywhere else. The signage in question was discovered before the school year opened last week and has not yet been hanged. "By the school principals immediately and firmly, when the students in charge of the signage were suspended from their studies. The Kfar Saba Municipality works to educate all students in the city for tolerance, mutual respect, gender equality and the eradication of violence, runs many programs in the field.
