Arab educational institutions in eastern Jerusalem schools, which are funded by the Israeli government, called a general strike on Monday over textbooks from the Education Ministry that contain facts about Israel’s geography and urge religious tolerance.
The schools canceled all classes due to “attempts by the occupation government [Israel] to teach their children false and distorted material that suit the Israeli occupation,” according to a statement published by Palestinian Authority-controlled news outlet WAFA.
