Schools in Israel: Critical teachers face dismissal (DLF 21.11.24) [courtesy translation]
"[On November 21, 2024], the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Teachers in Israel should nevertheless refrain from expressing critical opinions about the military's actions, at least if they want to keep their jobs. A new law makes dismissal possible. The case of one teacher, who was even imprisoned for his comments, is attracting a lot of attention." Available only in German. Broadcast on Campus & Career, Deutschlandfunk, November 21, 2024.
