Israel bans Arab-Jewish romantic novel from curriculum as it shows IDF as ‘sadistic war criminals’
‘Israel’s Education Ministry has decided to ban high schools from teaching students an award-winning novel depicting a love story between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man on the grounds that it could encourage intermarriage.
“Officials discussed the matter of including the book in the curriculum,” the ministry said in a statement. “After it seriously examined all the considerations, and weighed the advantages and drawbacks, they decided not to include the book in the curriculum.”
“Gader Haya” (“Borderlife”) by Dorit Rabinyan won Israel’s coveted Bernstein literary prize in 2015. The novel revolves around Liat, an Israeli translator, and Khilmi, a Palestinian painter. They fall in love in New York, but things take a dramatic turn when the two return to their families and homes in Tel Aviv and Ramallah, respectively.’
