The Guardian has a piece under the headline >>Gaza Diary: “The kids have gotten really old recently, their innocence stolen“.<<

President of Israel displays Hamas antisemitic education material

The implication is, of course, those nasty Israelis are the guilty ones with their war against Hamas to free the hostages (taken after an obscene pogrom against the Jews) and to secure Israel’s borders. Nothing happened before. No pedagogic hiccups in the development of innocent children.

The educational scene in Gaza has certainly seen its share of twists and turns with the rise of Hamas.

Here’s a peek at the rollercoaster ride known as educational practices under Hamas:

Curriculum and Ideological Influence
Move over, traditional textbooks! Hamas has given the curriculum a makeover, adding a dash of Islamic teachings and ideological perspectives that are so ‘Hamas-approved’.

Gender-Segregated Education
Boys and girls, time to part ways! Hamas introduces the latest trend in educational fashion – gender-segregated schooling. Girls, it’s all about modest attire and walking the walk of traditional gender roles.

Promotion of Militant Resistance
Forget peaceful coexistence, let’s talk about promoting some serious resistance! Hamas is keeping things lively with educational materials that are all about the militaristic and martyrdom narratives.

Challenges and Criticisms
The critics are out in full force, with international entities raising an eyebrow (or two) at the potential for major indoctrination. And let’s not forget the challenge of balancing ideological teachings with, you know, actual skills and knowledge for a well-rounded education.

These educational practices under Hamas are like a wild ride through ideological and political amusement park, leaving us wondering about the thrilling implications for the development and future of the students within this system.

And providing an answer, for those who care, to the question of “Who stole the innocence of the children of Gaza?”
