Some West Bank Arabs Are Learning Hebrew


(Makor Rishon-Hebrew-3July2020) Asaf Gabor - Recent years have seen more and more Hebrew language schools opening in West Bank Palestinian cities. Recently a Samaritan woman told me about the private Leadership School in Nablus where her son learns Hebrew. She said she registered her son at this school because "I see his future with Israel and I wanted him to know the language well." The boy told me: "I love my school....The problem is the teachers. They teach us Hebrew, but also teach us that we need to shoot at Jews." His mother continued: "Because the school is in Nablus, the curriculum is from the Palestinian Ministry of Education.
