APN's daily news review from Israel
Monday February 5, 2018
 
Quotes of the day:
“True, we learn from experience and from nature, and know things others don’t. But nowadays people don’t care what’s inside of you, every employer wants to know what diploma you have."
-Daoud, 45, a Bedouin man from the village of Al-Muntar in the West Bank. Bedouin today want their children to go to school. But Israel is fighting in court to destroy the village schoolhouse.

“There’s a school in [the nearby settlement of] Ma’aleh Adumim, a place to get an education. All we’re asking is that we have a kindergarten and school as well. If you had a 6-year-old child who had to walk 6 kilometers both ways to get to school, wouldn’t you be concerned and want to change that?"
--Abdallah, 39, another resident of Al-Muntar village.

Quote of the Day #1:
