“The Palestinian people are hungry for emancipation and freedom from over two centuries of occupation which have set the basis for terrorism and aggression,” it said in a statement.
The ministry also slammed Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon’s remarks accusing the Palestinian people of incitement through social networks and in their educational institutions.
The ministry said: “The Israeli media and educational institutions are the ones which promote killing and train children at an early age to use arms, as well as plant hatred and racism and cold blooded murder in their minds.”
