Fadi: Educational Freedom for Minorities
Students like Fadi should never have to choose between their education and their identity.
Meet Fadi
Fadi is a 12-year-old growing up in Israel’s Arab Christian community. Yet, in his school, he studies a curriculum that entirely erases his nearly 2,000-year-old heritage. His textbooks teach of Islamic conquest, while ignoring the events of the New Testament and the history of Christianity in the Middle East.
Arab Christian schools lack a dedicated pedagogical framework and receive a fraction of the funding given to other schools, leaving students like Fadi alienated and under-resourced.
Religious Minorities
A Systemic Fight for Equality
Identity and belonging are protective values against isolation and extremism. Representing nearly 50 schools and 95 petitioners, JIJ is taking this case to court. We are demanding the creation of a dedicated Pedagogical Division for Christian Education to ensure fair funding and inclusive representation.
