Israel’s war on education is part of Israel’s war on Palestinian childhood. The only way to fight it is through a Palestinian pedagogy of liberation and international solidarity through BDS.
Israeli settler colonialism and apartheid is based on the extermination of the indigenous population and the elimination of their hope of living freely. Palestinian children represent that hope.
November 9th marks 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall but we have unfortunately entered a new era of walls. The Stop the Wall campaign in Palestine has published a new anthology looking at global connections and resistance to walls and militarization. “Instead of ceding to the temptation to become completely absorbed in the ever more dramatic and brutal crises and attacks on our movements, this is a moment to lift our heads, see beyond the walls, and make connections between our struggles in order to gain strength and confidence together,” Maren Mantovani writes.
