Children as young as six were encouraged to make badges celebrating the intifada and praising Palestinian martyrs as part of a charity workshop.
The badges, featuring slogans such as “Long Live the Intifada” and “If I must die, let it bring hope, let it be a tale”, were part of a series of arts and craft activities staged by the charity Metroland Cultures. The event was held in London’s Kilburn on June 28 to raise money for Palestine and Sudan.
They have been criticised as “propaganda designed to sow hatred of Jews” by campaigners against anti-Semitism, who said it is inappropriate for children so young to be encouraged to imitate Palestinian slogans celebrating death and the armed struggle against Israel.
