Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Palestinian Janna Jihad (15) is being threatened.
At the age of seven Janna became a citizen journalist. With her mother's phone she recorded the violence of the Israeli army in her village on the Occupied West Bank.

Call on the Israeli authorities to protect Janna from discrimination and violence.

Israeli soldiers raid Janna's village at night. They raze houses and schools and destroy communities that stand up for their rights. Palestinian children are also killed or injured. Israel does nothing to protect them. Janna reports on this in many popular films. This brings her unwanted attention. She is often harassed and receives death threats.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Extra information:
Following a six-day armed conflict in June 1967, Israel took control of the
Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Since then, Israel has
constructed hundreds of illegal settlements (colonies) where hundreds of
thousands of Israeli settlers live and work, on occupied Palestinian land in the
West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Israel dismantled all its settlements in
Gaza in 2005, but those in the West Bank remain, and are one of the main
driving forces behind the mass human rights violations resulting from Israel’s
more than 50-year-long occupation

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Explain that: 
Since 2009, the Israeli authorities’ actions have caused the deaths of four
people in the village – Mustafa Tamimi, Rushdie Tamimi, Izz al-Din Tamimi and
Saba’ Obaid. Hundreds of others have been injured, including children.
The Israeli authorities also frequently declare the area to be a closed military
zone, particularly during demonstrations. This includes closing the roads into
and out of the village, requiring residents and visitors to enter and leave through
military checkpoints, where many complain that they are harassed by Israeli
soldiers. The army frequently arrests local political activists and human rights
defenders, and conducts night raids in the village, sometimes arresting children
accused mostly of throwing stones at Israeli soldiers.

Slide 8 - Quizvraag

What was a consequence
of her
journalistic work?

Slide 9 - Woordweb

There are several correct answers here: 

She received death threats. But she also became very well known and brought the plight of Palestinians to the attention of the world. 
CHILDREN’S RIGHTS ARE FOR EVERY CHILD


 Israel has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) but it does not
provide these protections to Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This
results in discrimination against Palestinian children.

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Click on the hotspot for information: Also explain the following
The impact of the army’s actions in Nabi Saleh appears to amount to a
collective punishment, whereby the whole population is penalized, including
those who play no active part in the struggle against Israeli military rule. This is
banned under international law, and can amount to a war crime. 
How do you think the Palestinian children feel, knowing that they are being discriminated against by not having their rights met?

Slide 11 - Open vraag

Israel has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and has a special
committee in parliament to make sure that it is being implemented. However,
Israel does not extend its protections to Palestinian children. While Israeli
children, including settlers living illegally in the Occupied Palestinian Territories,
are subject to Israeli civil law, Palestinian children in these areas, including
Janna, are subject to military law. This results in discrimination against all
Palestinian children.
What do you think about Janna's future? Will there be an improvement in the rights of the children
she is fighting for? Why or why not?
