On April 4, 2019, the Nablus-based An-Najah broadcasting channel (An-Najah NBC) uploaded to its YouTube channel a report about Gazans who are studying Hebrew at a specialized teaching center.
The reporter said that the students are learning Hebrew in order to remain firmly connected to the Palestinian cause and understand the nature of the conflict and the Israeli occupation.
Tamara Al-Masri, one of the students, said that she is learning Hebrew because she sometimes needs to translate invoices in Hebrew and because she wants to connect to new cultures and open up to others.
Rami Rumana, another student, said that he wants to know the nature of the Israeli public, its culture, and its way of thinking.
The reporter said that some people believe that studying Hebrew is a "cultural invasion" against political society, while others believe that it is better to understand the language of one's enemy.
Ahmad Al-Fulayt, one of the school's Hebrew teachers, said that Palestinians have shown an increased interest in studying Hebrew and that it enables them to understand Israeli media without relying on translations that may be unreliable.
The report also showed a student saying in Hebrew: "It is important to know the language of the enemy in order to understand his way of thinking."
An-Najah NBC is run by An-Najah University in Nablus and is the first public broadcasting channel in the Middle East to be launched by a Palestinian university.
