This is Zionism

"Principals and teachers in East Jerusalem schools that are funded by Israel’s Education Ministry or by the Jerusalem Municipality are not allowed to speak to the media unless the municipality gives them permission and oversees an interview.

The principal at Ibn Rushd school for boys, Ibrahim al-Khatib, said it was a positive move that 141 of the school’s 800 boys were now studying the Israeli curriculum. He declined further comment because of the municipality’s media restrictions.

Students interviewed asked not to be fully identified for fear of being punished by the Israeli authorities." (thanks Khelil)
