Details emerge of Palestinian girl’s suspension from Israeli school for raising plight of Gaza’s children
The incident went viral in the past week after videos emerged of Israeli Jewish students celebrating the 13-year-old girl’s suspension, which the school said was to protect the student.
According to Israeli media reports, the girl had participated in a class discussion on the events of October 7, and had raised the plight of children in Gaza.
“There are hungry children in Gaza, there are children without a home,” she is reported to have said at the school in Beersheba, before being attacked by other students. The school, however, decided to suspend the Palestinian girl, despite the attacks and anti-Palestinian chanting from other students.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the girl’s father said her teacher did not attempt to calm the situation.
“It is ridiculous that during a discussion initiated by the school, in which children were asked to express their opinions, a child gets attacked for saying something,” a lawyer, Shahada Ibn Bari, was quoted as saying by Channel 12. The outlet reported that Palestinian students were afraid to attend school because of the incident.
