*Denying Palestinians’ right to education has been central to Israel’s settler-colonial project for eight decades.* by Thea Renda Abu El-Haj, Fida J. Adely, Jo Kelcey, Truthout, March 17, 2024 https://truthout.org/articles/israel-has-ruined-76-percent-of-gazas-schools-in-systematic-attack-on-education/
Gaza has become a “graveyard for children.” Israel’s bombing has killed least 12,300 children — and more than 31,000 people total — since October. Thousands more are unaccounted for and are likely to be found under the rubble of their destroyed homes and shelters. In addition to the relentless bombing, Israel has been waging a starvation campaign: While all Gazans are facing food insecurity, 1.17 million Gazans have reached emergency levels of hunger, and half a million are at catastrophic levels. Against this backdrop of extreme violence, Israel has also been perpetrating a very particular form of violence that has disproportionate and long-term effects on children and youth: “scholasticide,” or the systematic destruction of the entire education system. . . . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
