| The Time to Teach About the Palestinian Struggle Is Now Dear Friends – Many educators are looking for ways to act in solidarity with Palestinians, in their classrooms and curricula. The mainstream media often censors Palestinian voices and downplays the occupation and confiscation of Palestinian land. The result is a one-sided narrative that justifies Israel’s policies of ethnic cleansing, oppression, and violations of international law. To help bring understanding to the history of the Palestinian struggle and the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, initiated by Palestinian civil society, we’ve compiled a list of resources on teaching Palestine from the Rethinking Schools archives: Boycotting Occupation: Educators and Palestine By The Editors of Rethinking Schools When the United States was about to invade Afghanistan and again in the lead-up to the war against Iraq, Rethinking Schools argued that these were situations of such magnitude that educators had a moral and an educational responsibility to speak out. We think that Palestine is just such a situation. We’ve had long discussions about what that means for us as educators.

As a Muslim, a Palestinian American, and a mother, I want this to change.

When this is coupled with a sometimes virulent anti-Muslim and anti-Arab, feeling educators must help unpeel these biases and encourage students to think critically about human rights in Palestine/Israel. Reading books about contemporary Palestine and the Israeli occupation may raise conflicting points of view, but that is part of supporting students to become critical readers, thinkers, and, we hope, activists in support of justice and peace.
