Further Israeli Occupied Palestine has two university campuses of its own. Israeli action clearly infringes on full utilization of that. However Israeli Arabs are not prevented to go to uni, and suffer some but comparatively little discrimination I am told. Israel has an obligation as occupying force to guarantee amongst others the rights of education, and I think that right is disturbed as early as primary school due to curfews etc.. <BR/>However universities are likewise availble in Egypt, Jordan and Damascus as well as in Europe, and many countries offer scholarships to Palestinians. Israel is not exactly a logical or good choice of destination for seeking education, it seems to me, beside if I was Palestinian, I would not even want to study in Israel. What people do say however is that it is extremely difficult for all to move from one sector into the other. So if you live in Gaza, and you study at some college in Nablus, you may have to be prepared to travel for more than a day, even though only three hour car drive directly. This is the most critizised point. But again in the context of suicide bombers as incognito says, the armed Hamas factions are not making the job any easier. Also as to regards Palestinian opportunities, and the lack of them, they are still better than others. In fact Palestinians as a group, I read somewehere are supposed to be the most educated Arab speaking people in the entire Middle East, altough I think the majority of these PHDs and Profs work abroad.Daniel of "Daniels Counter"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09330661760908633366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131050.post-10242077669600713522007-06-14T06:32:00.000+01:002007-06-14T06:32:00.000+01:00If not allowed to go to college because of discrim...If not allowed to go to college because of discrimination, another suicide bomber is born.<BR/><BR/>Good post.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131050.post-52726654769040779582007-06-14T03:23:00.000+01:002007-06-14T03:23:00.000+01:00Perhaps not fair, but certainly understandable... ...Perhaps not fair, but certainly understandable... any of those Palestinian students could strap on a bomb and blow the Univ. to bits. <BR/><BR/>I'd be constantly worried, about my fellow Palestinian students.<BR/><BR/>If they would just stop blowing up Israelis and themselves.....Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.com
