Al Jazeera's analysis indicates that Israeli authorities are attempting to censor Palestinian school curricula, not because they "promote hatred," but because they teach national identity. In occupied East Jerusalem, over a third of Palestinian students are already studying curricula developed by Israeli authorities, which involve deleting or modifying national symbols such as the Palestinian flag, anthem, sovereignty, and history, and replacing "Palestine" with "Israel." International humanitarian law stipulates that an occupying power should avoid interfering with educational institutions, but Israel's intervention in Palestinian education has extended to the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
