All of this is certainly not conducive to learning. In poorer areas, in poorer countries, in remote urban areas, getting to school or receiving a sound education is a problem. But in Occupied Palestine, having the chance to go to school in safety is more a figment of the imagination than anything tangible. Palestinian children are not able to express their fears to the outside world. They are not able to say that what they would wish for more than anything is to live in peace and freedom.
War causes many other problems.
In Palestine, Israeli bombs destroy the environment and the poisonous gases that Israeli soldiers use is lethal. Children are thus exploited and harmed, both mentally and physically because the war against them is fought in the streets, between houses, and even at night when they sleep. War is the greatest form of terror. At least 1000 of these will sustain permanent injuries, such as the loss of an eye or eyes, the loss of a limb, paralysis and the loss of mental abilities and functions. A large portion of the injured is children.
