PoliticsWhy Israel is interfering in Palestinian education

The article argues that Israeli occupation authorities are censoring Palestinian curricula because they foster national consciousness. In occupied East Jerusalem, 45,000 Palestinian children now study an Israeli-designed curriculum. Research cited in the article says textbook changes remove or alter references to Palestinian symbols, history, sovereignty, self-determination and the realities of occupation, raising fears of annexation and erasure of Palestinian identity.
