Law and Education

Abstract: This article explores the dynamic of the Palestinian legal struggle for equal educational opportunities in Israel. It examines the tension between the Palestinians’ positions on equality, on one hand, and the way the Israeli legal system seems to define equality, on the other hand. The article argues that the Israeli legal system seems to adopt a narrow formal view on educational equality for Palestinian children, a view that is not liable to bring about societal transformation.

“…The Hebrew language, humanities, and social sciences curriculum, as well as complementary educational programmes such as field trips and other extracurricular activities in Hebrew and religious Jewish educational systems in Israel invite students to investigate and question their personal, national, political, and religious identities. In contrast, several studies by scholars who are Palestinian citizens of Israel (Abu‐Saad, 2006; Arar, 2012; Arar & Ibrahim, 2016; Jabareen, 2006) have described how rare this is in the Arab school system in Israel. They provided examples from the formal curricula in history and geography, which does not include any references to recent Palestinian historical and cultural narratives.…”

“…19–46). Many studies have discussed the related educational inequalities (Abu‐Rabia‐Queder, 2006; Abu‐Saad, 2006; Arar & Mustafa, 2011; Feniger & Ayalon, 2016; Fuchs, 2017; Jabareen, 2006; Nasser & Birenbaum, 2007; Nasser‐Abu Alhija, 2016, 2021; Nasser‐Abu Alhija & Israelashvili, 2021). However, detailed accounts of the learning processes of Arab students in Israel are rare, and even fewer studies have examined attempts to rectify these inequalities.…”

“…Therefore, the main objective of the state's actions must be to achieve genuine equality for the Arab citizens of Israel, and to find ways that will enable them to express in their public life their culture and identity in a proper and dignified manner. The importance of the state's official recognition of the cultural and national uniqueness of the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel, and the granting of the state's legitimate legitimacy to its unique identity and needs in this context as well [5,41,42].…”

“…Nonetheless, Palestinians are still excluded by social and symbolic boundaries in market and political participation, sometimes at the cost of lowering support for the Palestinian national project (Abu Asbah et al., 2014; Abu-Saad, 2006; Ganem and Levin-Rozalis, 2014; Halabi, 2017; Harbon et al., 2013; Jabareen, 2006; Levi, 2005; Mizrachi and Herzog, 2012). Mundane encounters between Palestinians and Jews are mostly limited to mixed cities, where both ethnicities live, or to universities.…”
