The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education issued a 250 page Strategic Plan, in English, last year.
When they talk about how awful it is that Israel forces Arab schools in Jerusalem to use the Israeli curriculum, they include this horrible fact:
The Israeli occupation authorities constantly aim to erase the Palestinian identity in Jerusalem. They also do their utmost to change the reality of the city and fabricate its history and origin by censuring [sic] the Palestinian curricula and depriving Palestinian students of their right of access to their Palestinian curricula in its original form, as other Palestinian students. In addition, Israel has done everything possible to separate the Jerusalemite students from the rest of the Palestinian students. In implementing these policies, Israel has taken the following measures:
….
5) Distributing the censured [sic] textbooks to the municipality and private schools free of charge whereas each package is sold for Jewish students for (NIS 1200-1500); an example of their political intentions towards Palestinian students in Jerusalem.
Yes, saving Palestinian students in Jerusalem some $400 each – costing the Israeli government millions of dollars – is an example of Israeli evil!
By the way, if the Palestinians are so upset over losing their “right” to study their anti-Israel curriculum, they can always set up private after school programs to study their fake history and culture to counteract the evil Zionist narrative.
Teachers and students would certainly volunteer for such a project, and NGOs would happily pay for it.
I wonder why it doesn’t happen?
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
