„Wir sind in McDonald’s, aber Ihr Sohn lehnt das Essen ab“: Wie irische Haushalte israelische Produkte boykottieren

*This opened a conversation in his son’s primary school on the topic.

“Some children in his class were picking on him about it. But I was pretty proud of him,” he says.

“He was very principled about it and he ended up talking in front of his class about Palestine and everything, and how McDonald’s was providing free food to Israeli soldiers invading Gaza.”*

There is a time and place to discuss BDS to be sure, and I acknowledge this is how a parent has opted to raise their child. But do we need to burden our kids with discussions of Gaza, Israel, BDS, etc? And then to have the teacher facilitate the kid getting up speaking about something like this?
