Life in Al Amari Refugee Camp - child's perspective - Tues 19th

Hopefully whilst they are here they can also obtain an education which wont teach them that all Jews are dogs.......then they might grow up to be quite sensible and actaully be of use to Palstine

How many Palestinian schools have you been into?

I've personally found that the political analysis is somewhat more advanced than the that which you suggest.

However, for as long as Palestinian kids have to watch their families and communities robbed of their dignity and livelihood by Israeli soldiers, there isn't going to be a deep yearning for a close friendship.........

I'm quite looking forward to the day when Israeli schoolchildren learn that Palestinians are human beings........

I worked for the UN in Nablus between 1989 and 1991 in various schools with in the camps. I was appalled at what I saw and read. Perhaps the official curriculum is more balanced but what I saw would upset most moderates. It is no joke, these kids are bred anti-semitism. I used to be quite happy to belittle the state of israel but unfirtunately until you have lived the facts, you never know the full story.

I spent a fair bit of time in Nablus during 2002/3 and spent time in quite a few schools and meetings with kids, and I repeat that I think the analysis is somewhat more advanced than you suggest.

I also spent a lot of time at checkpoints and monitoring incursions, including during the extended curfew of 2002, and the siege of 2003.

These activities were not designed to present kids with a better view of Israeli society - thats for certain.
