  • Arab Israeli Teachers Working in Jewish Schools and Jewish Teachers Working in Arab Israeli Schools Nachum Blass1
    Arab Israeli Teachers Working in Jewish Schools and Jewish Teachers Working in Arab Israeli Schools Nachum Blass1 Background In Israel, there is a separation between the Jewish education system and the Arab Israeli education system. The decision for this separation has both practical and ideological explanations. There are those who claim that the demographic realities dictate this separation. However it is revealing that the policy since the founding of the state was to strengthen and preserve the Jewish identity amongst the Jewish sector, and a coming to terms with the national identity of the Arab Israeli pupils. The ideological component is the more important of the two; this is evidenced by the fact that even in places where it would be possible to establish a combined education system, like in mixed cities (Tel Aviv-Yaffo, Haifa, Jerusalem, Acco, Lod, and Ramla), there is a complete separation between the two systems. This separation exists in every part of the education system although it is the most severe in the State-religious and Haredi education. There it is backed by instructions at the highest level that “advise” in no uncertain terms against the hiring of Arab Israeli teachers. This reality has many implications both on the educational level and on the overall societal level. On the educational level, it intensifies the fluctuations in supply and demand for teachers due to the limitations it creates in moving from sector to sector. On the 1 Nachum Blass, senior researcher at the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel. Thanks to Haim Bleikh, researcher at the Taub Center, who coordinated the data analysis.

The closure prevented Palestinians, including workers, with valid permits, from accessing East Jerusalem and Israel during the four days. It is a year – the start of the 2006 Purim holiday – since Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip have been prevented from accessing jobs in Israel. West Bank: − On 28 February, the IDF re-entered Nablus for one day to continue its largest scale operation for three years, codenamed ‘Hot Winter’. This second phase of the operation again saw a curfew imposed on the Old City, the occupation of schools and homes and house-to-house searches. The IDF also surrounded the three major hospitals in the area and checked all Palestinians entering and leaving. According to the Nablus Municipality 284 shops were damaged during the course of the operation. − Israeli Security Forces were on high alert in and around the Old city of Jerusalem in anticipation of further demonstrations and clashes following Friday Prayers at Al Aqsa mosque. Due to the Jewish holiday of Purim over the weekend, the Israeli authorities declared a blanket closure from Friday 2 March until the morning of Tuesday 6 March and all major roads leading to the Old City were blocked.

    They have already given their interpretation of democracy Minister Naftali Bennett and Knesset Members Zeev Elkin, Gila Gamliel, Aryeh Deri, Tzachi Hanegbi, Tzipi Hotovely and Ayelet Shaked have cancelled their participation in the Haaretz Conference on Democracy because the New Israel Fund is among its sponsors. For the boycotters, democracy means disregard of the weak, the rejected, those who lack rights, those who are discriminated against economically and those who are excluded because of their beliefs. To the glory of the state of Israel, the New Israel Fund exists with the understanding that democracy is also the defense of minority rights and it expressly extends a hand to the weak, the discriminated against and the excluded, aiding the existence of non-profit organizations that promote their rights. The politicians of the right and Aryeh Deri (defender of the transparent) cannot tolerate this.
