To be honest with you all, it is tempting to give up and come to the edge of losing hope. It is easier to enter into the despair which says Que Sera Sera. Yet is that it? Is it our calling to give up?

One sector not only refrained from participating in protests or other activities, but also remained strangely silent on the issue. The normally vocal Messianic leaders did not write or speak at all on the topic, leaving it to others

Israeli-Palestinian Evangelicals took part in the strike in a number of ways. Some as parents of students, others as teachers, and others as school leaders who joined the negotiating committee. The strike included mobilizing their cause on different levels.

Reached a settlement with the ministry of Education and therefore the students of the 47 schools in Israel who number 33,000 will return to school Monday the 28th of September after being on strike since the 1st of Septembe

Christian schools in Israel have been on strike since the beginning of the school year and did not open the academic year 2015-2016. They are protesting a decision by the Israeli government to shrink their funding, to a point that it became impossible for them to survive

a group of Arab academics, hereby express our support and solidarity with the demands of the “Private” schools in the Arab society in Israel as they strive to continue with their noble mission

So where does the Christian world stand in such moments? Does it stand with the brothers and sisters in the one body, or it turns a cold shoulder to the Arab Israeli brothers in Christ because of who is involved in this matter-the irreproachable state of Israel that should never be criticized?

we have decided on a series of protest steps starting with an open strike on the 1st of September and we assure you that we have not done this lightly but only after a long study and careful thinking. We will not back off until we receive our full rights. We will also hold several protests that will accompany the strike.

The Secretariat sees this meeting as a positive step that requires follow up with negotiations of working teams from the ministry in order to translate the discussion into actual work on the ground
