Al Haq Case Study: The Right to Education in Occupied East Jerusalem
Al Haq, 2006, 21 December 2006
Al-Haq would like to bring to your attention the current situation of the Arab Orphan School, a privately run charitable school in East Jerusalem with a long history of providing free vocational education for Palestinian children. As detailed in the attached study, the Arab Orphan School is now facing acute threats to its continuing existence. Located in 'Atarot, which Israel illegally incorporated within its municipal boundary of Jerusalem, the school has been isolated from its students and staff, the majority of whom live in surrounding villages, by the completion of the Annexation Wall in the area and the establishment of Qalandiya checkpoint as the only channel of access to the school. As holders of West Bank IDs, students and staff members need special permits to cross the checkpoint, which only a relatively small number of them have obtained, and currently only on a temporary three-month basis. Similar temporary permits issued for the first three months of the 2005/06 academic year were not renewed by the Israeli civil administration, compelling the students to sneak into illegally annexed East Jerusalem in order to exercise their fundamental right to education.
The Struggle for Academic Freedom in Palestine
Riham Barghouti and Helen Murray, UNESCO Academic Freedom Conference, Alexandria, Egypt, 20 March 2006
Presenting the case of Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank, this paper looks at the importance of education in challenging the foundations of occupation. It asks why and how the Palestinian universities, as national institutions, have been systematically targeted by the illegal Israeli occupation since they were first established in the 1970s. The paper goes on to explore two approaches to supporting the Palestinian struggle for academic freedom: firstly through the promotion of international academic cooperation in the current context; and secondly through exerting the necessary pressure to bring an end to the Israeli occupation which continues to block the possibility of achieving any form of freedom in Palestine.
American Politicians, Israeli Critics, and Palestinian Textbooks
Reema Hijazi, Council for the National Interest (CNI), 15 December 2005
In May 2005, Senator Hillary Clinton reiterated her denunciation of what she considers incitement and anti-Semitism in Palestinian textbooks. While Clintons message has always remained consistent, it directly contradicts academic and institutional research on the actual content of Palestinian textbooks.
