The education ministry’s Palestine Solidarity Week is an ill conceived plan. Why bring foreign politics into our schools? Don’t we have our own unresolved problems to do with racism, religion and social standing?
Education minister Fadhlina Sidek has done something unthinkable, and that is to unite both Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional politicians against her ministry’s “Palestine Solidarity Week” involving schoolchildren.
Don’t we have our own unresolved problems to do with racism, religion and social standing? Occupation of land by developers or elites who forcibly encroach on ancestral tribal lands? We should clean up our own backyard first before we meddle in other peoples’ affairs. Moreover, why bring politics into our schools? Why radicalise our young, and why involve them in a foreign conflict?
How on earth will Fadhlina cope with all this and try to make young children understand? Or will she succeed only in nurturing more hate by involving our young in an unresolved, violent foreign conflict?How will Fadhlina or her teachers make young school children understand that not all Palestinians are Muslim, that Hamas does not represent all Palestinians, nor is the right-wing Benjamin Netanyahu supported by all Israelis.
