Founded against the backdrop of occupation, it is open to all students, irrespective of income. Putting the study of democracy and tolerance at the heart of its curriculum, Birzeit continues to produce idealistic young people who can work to bring about a peaceful future. Gabi Baramki explains how the University has survived against shocking odds, including direct attacks where Israeli soldiers have shot unarmed students. Baramki himself has been dragged from his home at night, beaten and arrested. Yet Birzeit continues to thrive, putting peace at the heart of its teaching, and offering Palestinians the opportunities that only education can bring.Academic freedomWest BankPalestinian ArabsEducationIsraelAcademic freedomPalestinian ArabsEducation371.1/04Baramki Gabi1515337Carter Jimmy1924-675550MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781158603321Peaceful resistance3751001UNINA
