In an Israeli West Bank settlement bloc known as Gush Etzion, American tourists are flocking to Caliber 3 shooting school, a training camp for Israeli ‘security professionals including soldiers and bodyguards’, which has recently opened its services to Israeli and American civilians. The company says it offers “the values of Zionism with the excitement and enjoyment of shooting which makes the activity more meaningful.”
“It’s a fun experience for the whole family,” Rachel Frogel, a young mother holding a baby in her arms, told Agence France-Press at the Caliber 3 school.
The company offers a two-hour “tourist course”, in which travelers and families take turns shooting at photos of men wearing the keffiyeh scarf worn by Palestinians.

There's not much more to say. It's a bit disgusting.

Disgusting to turn something like killing into a family event. I think it's a two-edged sword operation. On one hand, they are able to make loads of cash from the civilians. On the other, they strengthen and reinforce the anti-Palestinian sentiment in those who attend.
