Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/tZAvf-2qrzssHNJCBA8Z1Ps2T52SjlBMbLfm/success?user_id=2Fhcn5deTruxQTE7fc9w0Q&timezone_id=America%2FMontreal. 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.
