Activists from the "Otzma Yehudit" (Jewish Power) party distributed gun-shaped keychains to students at Blich High School in Ramat Gan on Thursday. The distribution occurred during a school event, sparking controversy and criticism. The party stated that the keychains were intended as a "reminder of the importance of self-defense and the right to bear arms."
However, the school administration and some parents condemned the act, calling it inappropriate and potentially dangerous. "We are shocked and deeply disappointed by this irresponsible act," said a spokesperson for the school. "Our educational institutions should be a safe space, free from political propaganda and the glorification of weapons."
Otzma Yehudit, a far-right party known for its nationalist and security-focused platform, has previously engaged in similar public relations efforts. Critics argue that such actions are aimed at normalizing the presence of weapons and promoting a culture of violence among young people. The party has defended its actions, asserting that it is merely promoting a message of security and preparedness in a challenging environment.
