| Israel falsifies Palestinian curriculum in al-Quds schools: Education minister | |
| 2018-10-30 | |
Education Minister Sabri Sidem said "the Israeli authorities printed distorted copies of the Paleostinian curriculum and distributed them to the schools supervised by the Israeli municipality in Jerusalem" al-Quds, London-headquartered website the Middle East Monitor reported. Addressing a news conference on Thursday, Sidem said, "The occupation authorities removed the Paleostinian flag from all books covers, the Paleostinian keffiyeh (a checkered cloth which symbolizes Paleostinian resistance), and the name of the State of Paleostine and its Eagle Logo as well as the phrase ’Ministry of Education and Higher Education.’" The minister added that Israel had also "removed paragraphs and replaced them with others which support the Israeli case, in an attempt to obliterate the Paleostinian version." The distortion has affected "all the curricula issued by the Paleostinian Curriculum Development Center," he noted. Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds during the Six-Day War in 1967. It later annexed East Jerusalem al-Quds in a move not recognized by the international community. Ever since, Tel Aviv has been setting up settlements in the occupied territories and stepping up "security" measures in Jerusalem al-Quds. The Paleostinians want its eastern part as the capital of a future Paleostinian state. | |
