“ The Israeli occupation imposing taxes on Palestinian schools is a discriminatory deed, Israeli schools in Jerusalem do not have to pay taxes. Noteworthy, Palestinian schools in Jerusalem provide free education; they are non-profit organizations”

This is only a part of Israeli campaign against Palestinian educational institutions in Jerusalem, Israeli authorities attack Palestinian curriculum calling it provocative, and attempt to impose new educational curriculum that reflects their vision and changes history, nevertheless, the occupation municipality provides enormous sums of money to impose Israeli curriculum in indigenous Palestinian people’s schools in Jerusalem.
