(3,830 posts)I suggest you start with the 17-year BLOCKADE of Gaza by Israel, and what that did to its emerging economy, self-sufficiency, industry, agriculture, fishing and poverty and unemployment rates. None of it is good.
Why would you think women don't have the right to vote?
Palestinians highly value education and have one of the best literacy and graduation rates. Women comprise at least 60% of students in higher education and at least a quarter of faculty.
Israel destroyed all 16 universities in Gaza. Most of them by controlled demolition. Now imagine all those university students whose work and hopes are now also destroyed. Very sad and infuriating, no?
Palestinian students' education throughout the OPT is often interrupted or destroyed through killings, injuries, arbitrary arrests and detentions as well as the innumerable checkpoints and curfews Israel imposes. Yet they persist.
