The Israeli army in collusion with illegal Jewish settlers have employed violent tactics to force Palestinian children to give up their education, but the policy has backfired.

“I was very afraid. They beat me up and forced me to confess that I threw stones at them, but I denied,” he said. Another route to the school, a newly-built road, doubles the distance to the school. Even that access has been blocked. Israeli soldiers are also stationed at the three school gates during school hours.The two brothers, 11-year-old Ramez and 10-year-old Murad Al Sharif are facing a similar problem but in another area.Every morning Ramez and Murad have to pass through two Israeli military checkpoints to reach their school, which is about a 10-minute walk from their home.
The Israeli army takes daily mugshots of students and teachers as they reach the military checkpoint at the entrance of the school. It depends upon the mood of the soldiers when to open the iron gate and when to keep it closed. Most students and teachers feel their school has been turned into a cage.
“Settlers are on the road the whole time. They throw stones at us, curse and try to humiliate us,” Murad said.
