The Palestinian issue increasingly appears in Indonesian religious and educational discourse, particularly within Islamic schools and pesantren. Educational engagement with Palestine may contribute to students' understanding of humanitarianism, international affairs, and global citizenship, but it may also create challenges concerning political polarization and the presentation of contested historical narratives. This article examines how Palestine-related issues can be incorporated into Indonesian Islamic education. Using qualitative educational and policy analysis, the study examines curriculum content, teaching approaches, religious narratives, and civic education. The article argues that Palestine education should move beyond political mobilization toward comprehensive education concerning humanitarian principles, international law, historical context, civilian protection, and peaceful conflict resolution. The study proposes a pedagogical framework combining religious ethics with critical global citizenship education. Teachers should be encouraged to distinguish verified information from political propaganda and provide students with opportunities to engage with diverse perspectives while maintaining clear humanitarian principles. The article concludes that responsible Palestine education can strengthen students' awareness of global justice and humanitarian responsibility without undermining critical thinking or educational neutrality.
