Today, Thursday, the occupation authorities confiscated school books “according to the Palestinian curriculum” in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem Governorate media said that occupation intelligence confiscated Palestinian curriculum books on their way to one of the private schools in Old Jerusalem, which applies the Palestinian curriculum.
Jerusalem Governorate media added that the forces arrested a school employee and the driver who was transporting school books.
The occupation authorities are fighting the Palestinian curriculum and have been trying for years to prevent its teaching in Jerusalem schools.
The Jerusalem Governorate denounced the confiscation of Palestinian curricula books, considering it an attack on the right of our people to education and to choose their own curricula as guaranteed by international conventions, as they are a people under occupation with the recognition of the international community.
In a statement, the Jerusalem Governorate called on the international community and human rights organizations to address these racist crimes against education in Jerusalem, and called on our Palestinian people, especially in Jerusalem, to confront these crimes against students and our national curricula.
She called on the governorate to refuse to accept forged, fake and distorted curricula, which the occupation authorities are trying to impose on our children in our national schools.
The governorate added that Israel, “the occupying power,” is seeking with all its power and allocating huge funds to Judaize Arab curricula and schools in Jerusalem in an attempt to integrate our students into Israeli society and impose a false Israeli narrative on the minds of our students with the false Judaization curricula it is trying to impose that contradict all our values. National, religious and Arab.
Israel, the occupying power, also seeks, through a systematic policy and supported by the Netanyahu government, to impose restrictions on our Palestinian people in the occupied capital, whether by imposing Israeli curricula, deportation from Jerusalem, or daily murders and demolitions, as happened yesterday with the execution of the child Khaled Al-Zaanin in cold blood, and imposing heavy fines and violations on Residents to empty the occupied capital, replace settlers, and provide all facilities to settlement associations in order to implement their settlement plans.
