Hebrew Language and Literature
 

Overview

Learning languages is one of the important areas of specializations offered by the universities in the world. Language is one of the most important auxiliary sciences in scientific research. It serves many other fields such as media, commercial and legal transactions in addition to the work of politicians and administrators. For us, as Palestinians under occupation, we need to know the language of our occupier and know his written point of view in terms of the conflict, and be able to respond to it and highlight the Palestinian point of view. This makes learning Hebrew and opening a BA major an important thing to the Palestinians. It is noteworthy that Arab universities have taken the initiative to open this specialization long time ago, such as the case of Universities of Baghdad and Cairo.
