Jerusalem Students Affected by Occupation Curriculum
The Haaretz newspaper reveals that approximately 45,000 Palestinian students from East Jerusalem will be compelled to study the Israeli curriculum this year. This marks the first time since the city's occupation in 1967 that such a large number of students are being subjected to the Israeli curriculum, representing about 38% of the total 120,000 students in the area. This shift results from intensive Israeli pressures on schools and parents, aimed at forcibly integrating students into the Israeli educational system from early childhood. This escalation in educational policies constitutes a direct assault on Palestinian national identity and constitutes a violation of international law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention, which mandates the protection of civilian populations, especially children, and preservation of educational institutions. The move is also part of Israeli efforts to erase Palestinian history in Jerusalem and alter cultural narratives by removing key topics such as the Nakba and prisoners, and reducing Palestinian content in textbooks. Imposing the Israeli curriculum has led to a significant increase in the number of students studying accordingly; from fewer than 13,000 six years ago to over 45,000 today. This reflects the intensification of Judaization policies and the use of Israeli education as part of occupation projects aimed at completely annexing the city, amid ongoing threats to the future of Palestinian identity in Jerusalem.
