Education is a RIGHT!!
I highly urge you all to watch this documentary about how Palestinians are struggling, NON- VIOLENTLY, to get a basic education and remain sane in this insane reality of Israeli occupation. Nablus is in the West Bank. Multiply what you see here by 100 and you can start to imagine the Gaza and Hebron reality.
Sadly, my American subscribers would never have had the chance to see this when it was aired because the US' "free" media does not allow Al-Jazeera International to air in the US.
Consider showing this in a public venue (local library, city council, to your local newspaper editorial board, etc.) in your city.
Saluting teachers worldwide and free media,
Sam

Thank you for sharing–more of this is needed in western media! We spend trillions of dollars on education in the west, while children in Palestine don’t even get .0001% of the opportunities that western children get. It is a sad world.
I was watching the young girl talking about her classes. The first class was difficult because she was still sleepy, etc.
She sounded so much like kids over here.
The BOOM.
As your site constantly does. It struck me again. She is just like kids over here and she is being taught in an occupied situation.
Giving her situation a second thought. There are many great minds in Palestein going to waste because of the occupation.
The world would be better off if these kids (all of these kids) would have a proper education.
This is a case of mental genocide against children.
No wonder the world is slowly turning against Israel!
