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. 606 $aAcademic freedom$zWest Bank 606 $aPalestinian Arabs$xEducation$zIsrael 615 0$aAcademic freedom 615 0$aPalestinian Arabs$xEducation 676 $a371.1/04 700 $aBaramki$b Gabi$01515337 701 $aCarter$b Jimmy$f1924-$0675550 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781158603321 996 $aPeaceful resistance$93751001 997 $aUNINA
