An 8-year-old Palestinian boy threw a knife at Israeli soldiers on Thursday, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The boy shouted something before throwing the “large knife” toward soldiers at a West Bank community nearby Route 443, the Post reported. The boy escaped to a nearby Palestinian village.
No soldiers were injured from the boy’s stabbing attempt.
Michael Dickson, the executive director of StandWithUs, tweeted that such the stabbing attempt is the result of incitement and indoctrination from the Palestinian Authority:
Today an 8 year old Palestinian boy tried to stab Israeli officers.
Think about that for a moment.

I accuse the parents, the educational system, the Palestinian Authority leadership, of creating an atmosphere where children are dripfed hate and bred to kill.— Michael Dickson (@michaeldickson) October 4, 2018
I speak on behalf of ALL so-called “Palestinians” when I say, we have been taught violence at a very young age at our schools, on TV, mosques, but now Mahmoud Abbas & PLO/ Fatah are ramping up incitement against not only Jews… but Americans too.

Palestinian textbooks have encouraged Palestinian “martyrdom…in clashes against Israelis.”
The Post noted that Palestinian media is claiming “that the knife might have been planted on the boy by Israel.” Palestinian Media Watch has a compilation of cartoons from the Palestinian Authority’s official newspaper that depict Israeli soldiers planting knives on Palestinian children after killing them.
