From MEMRI TV:
Lebanese Shi’ite academic and political activist Ali Khalife criticized Hizbullah’s education system in an October 21, 2026 interview on Fadi Chahwan’s podcast. He said that what is happening in Hizbullah’s schools is “very dangerous,” accusing them of brainwashing children and preparing them to become fighters by getting them accustomed to the idea of pointless death and having them repeatedly chant slogans about killing and martyrdom. He said that the schools follow an Iranian curriculum.
Khalife said that these schools nurture and consolidate a sense of loyalty to the Jurisprudent Ruler over loyalty to Lebanon and Lebanese identity. He stated that these values run counter to Lebanese society and that the schools urge children to kill and die. He compared this to the Hitler Youth and Mussolini’s youth groups, clarifying that he was not criticizing the young people themselves, but rather what these movements had done to German and Italian children.
It’s the same in Hamas schools in Gaza – financed by us, via UNRWA.
