Webinar:
Silencing Palestine in the Education System
Sat. Nov. 19 at 1 PM ET
| Webinar: Saturday, November 19, at 1300 ET The webinar will explore how Palestine is covered in Israeli textbooks as well as Palestinian education in East Jerusalem and the West Bank/Gaza. In a bid to stop Canadian funding for Palestinian refugee education the Israel lobby regularly disparages Palestinian education. Is their criticism valid? Alongside UNRWA-funded Palestinian education, speakers will explore how Palestine is treated in the Canadian education system. There have been many examples of anti-Palestinian racism in Canadian schools and the Israel lobby has promoted schools adopting the IHRA’s anti-Palestinian definition of anti-Semitism.
