ABSTRACT Palestinians are in a prison, a strange one. Their own country is a prison. We are teachers. MOEHE invited us to do an action research. A simple one. Questions and answers. We found the chance to to do a critical action research. An epancipatory one. As much as we could. Reflections and actions. On real problems. Their problems. We wanted to open some windows and give the opportunity to Palestinians educators, to students and their parents, to talk. Because it is so hard not only to talk but also to breath under Israeli’s boot.

Pedagogical framework
13
epistemology- theory-pedagogy
Emancipatory Research Interest; Social & Critical Constructivism; …as much as we could Critical Pedagogy as a number of pedagogical strategies including ideology- critique that teachers can undertake in their struggle against their country’s and lives’ occupation; Critical pedagogy needs more than good intentions to achieve its goal. It requires a revolutionary movement of educators informed by a principled ethics of compassion and social justice, a socialist ethos based on solidarity and social interdependence, and a language of critique capable of grasping the consequences of history's narratives (McLaren)
14
methodology RESEARCH TYPE: Practical and Emancipatory Action Research through a Case study; TECHNIQUES: Investigation of teachers Personal Theories and tacit knowledge, Debates; Future Café process; , Critical Community of learners through Social Network communication; RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS: teachers Diaries, Researcher's Questionnaires Portfolios, Learning Activities for 5 cognitive domains in relation with the Palestinian Curriculum, with the needed transformations and recommendations on the Curriculum itself

RESULTS
18
Results Teachers adopted an idea about a “different” education type and empowered; Students collaborated, connected and enjoyed; Parents understood; Policy Makers had a chameleon way to act… as always; Society was in war- country in occupation; Schools linked through the internet not as an environment for more informed and innovative citizens but as a way for more critical-reflective and active citizens with (almost) equal chances for communication and a hope for survive; Several of the Educational Stakeholders could through cooperation, increase their understanding of the social consequences of their actions …as much as we could
19
results Critical Pedagogy was defined:
by what it could do- and what it had already did, as a pedagogy which embraced a raising of the consciousness, a critique of society, as valued students’ voices, as honoring students’ needs, values, and individuality; as a hopeful, active pedagogy which enabled students to become truly participatory members of their society who could create reconstruct their ideas, knowledge and why not their society; toward authentic problems and real actions more than written texts but as a corporeal pedagogy grounded in the lived experiences of students and teachers …as much as we could

In Praise of the High Shadow
لك أن تكون – ولا تكونْ - لك أن تُكَوِّنْ. أو لا تُكَوِّنْ . كل أسئلة الوجودِ وراء ظِلَّكَ مهزلهْ ., والكونُ دفترك الصغيرُ , وأنت خالقُهُ فدوِّنْ فيه فردوس البداية , يا أبي . أو لا تُدَوِّنْ أنت ..أنت َ المسأله ْ. ماذا تريدُ ؟ Mahmoud Darwish
