Israeli army confiscates Palestinian textbooks in Jerusalem
Israeli occupation forces arrested Palestinians and seized textbooks from the Palestinian curriculum in the occupied city of Jerusalem on Thursday.
Local sources said that Israeli intelligence forces confiscated textbooks en route to a private school that teaches the Palestinian curriculum in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, and detained the driver and a school employee.
The confiscation was condemned by Palestinian Authority's Jerusalem Governorate as a "new racist attack against Palestinian schools."
They stressed the "right of our people to education, and to choose their own curricula as guaranteed by international conventions, as they are a people under occupation with the recognition of the international community."
The Jerusalem Governorate called on the international community to take action against this case, and the broader attempts by the occupation authorities to "Judaize" the Arab curriculums in Jerusalem.
