Since childhood, the occupation has been indoctrinating settlers to teach their children the importance of carrying weapons

Since childhood, the occupation authorities have been working to instill the idea of carrying weapons in the minds of settlers, where children are raised to believe that owning a weapon is natural and necessary to defend themselves and their settlements. This idea is reinforced through educational programs and activities that promote violence, teaching children that the weapon is not just a tool for security, but part of their identity and role in the ongoing conflict. In many cases, children are encouraged to engage in early military training, contributing to the strengthening of feelings of hatred and violence, making it harder to later consider peaceful solutions. This type of upbringing reflects the occupation's approach to using the new generations as tools to sustain its colonial project.
