My friend Ephraim spotted this book today.
Very Israeli, very sad:
This is a kid’s book entitled: Ticking Bomb.
The sub title is: The kid from the central bus station.When I first saw it, I was shocked there would be a kids book with that title, what with the fact that sometimes bombs go off here during terrorist attacks.I read the back of the book for a short description: There’s a terrorist attack and one of the men stabbed by a terrorist in an attack lays unconscious in the hospital. Because he had no ID on him, police and the kids in the book search frantically for the injured person’s family.
A kid’s book in Israel. Sigh.
This is indeed very sad. And so is what many palestinian children are reading.
