In 1909, he founded the Dusturiyyah school, which became known for its Arab nationalist approach. Arab nationalism ( Arabic: القومية العربية is a Nationalist ideology which rose to prominence amongst Arabs from the early 20th century onwards He pioneered a progressive education system: no grades, prizes or punishments for students, and an emphasis on music education and athletics. Education reform is a plan or movement which attempts to bring about a systematic change in Educational theory or practice across a Community or Society He also introduced new methods of teaching Arabic, and made it the primary language of instruction instead of Turkish. Turkish ( tr Türkçe IPA) is a language spoken by over 63 million people worldwide making it the most commonly spoken of the Turkic languages. [2] Sakakini led a movement to reform and Arabize what he saw as a corrupt Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, and wrote a pamphlet in 1913 titled "The Orthodox Renaissance in Palestine", which led to his excommunication. The Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem ( Greek: Patriarcheîon Hierosolýmōn, Arabic كنيسة الروم الأرثوذكس في القدس Ottoman authorities arrested him on the last day of their rule in 1917 after he sheltered a Polish-American Jew and fellow Jerusalemite, Alter Levine.

Levine was declared an enemy when the United States joined the Allies of World War I. The Entente Powers (from Triple Entente) were the countries at war with the Central Powers during World War I.

Having a Greek grandmother led to an interest in Greek music and Greek philosophy. The musical legacy of Greece is as diverse as its history. Cypriot music has certain similarities to traditional Greek Music, and their Ancient Greek philosophy focused on the role of Reason and Inquiry. He even nicknamed himself "Socrates". SOCRATES is the European Community action programme in the field of Education. [11]
Sakakini often expressed humanistic ideas, and had a business card made out to read "Khalil Sakakini: human being, God willing". Humanism is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people based on the ability to determine right and wrong by appealing to universal Business cards are Cards bearing business Information about a Company or Individual. At the same time, he defined himself first and foremost as an Arab, and is hailed as one of the founding fathers of Arab nationalism in the region. He was an advocate of Pan-Arabism and envisaged Palestine united with Syria. Pan-Arabism is a movement for Unification among the peoples and countries of the Arab World, from the Atlantic Ocean to the He saw Zionism as a great threat and believed that the Jewish right to the land had expired while the Arab right was "a living one". [12][13]
During the 1936-1939 Arab revolt, he applauded the Arab attacks on Jews; worried that the rebellion's violence looked bad in the public eye because 'the Jews controlled the newspapers and radio', he concluded that 'the sword was mightier than the book'. The 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was an uprising during the British mandate by Arabs in Palestine which lasted from 1936 to 1939 On the grenade attack of a Jewish civilian train, he praised the "heroes" responsible. [14] After the attack on Jerusalem's Edison cinema that left three dead, he wrote:
"There is no other heroism like this, except the heroism of Sheikh al-Qassam". Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam (1882&ndash November 20, 1935) ( عزّ الدين القسّام,) full nameIzz al-Din ibn Abd al-Qadar ibn Mustapha [15]
Yet the terrorism still bothered him at times:
"I feel the pain of the troubles, whether they fall on Arabs or on the English or on the Jews. For that reason you will sometimes find me on the side of the Arabs, at others times on the side of the English, and still other times on the side of the Jews. And if there were animals who suffered from even a faint whiff of these troubles, I would sometimes be on the side of the animals. [16]
Sakakini also came to believe that Nazi Germany might weaken the British and 'liberate Palestine from the Jew', so he supported the Nazis. Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers He wrote that Adolf Hitler had opened the World's eyes to the myth of Jewish power, and that Germany had stood up to the Jews and put them in their place as Mussolini had done to the British.

Sakakini vehemently opposed allowing Holocaust survivors into Palestine, arguing that a human problem needed to be solved by all humanity. There are many famous Holocaust survivors who survived the Nazi Genocides in Europe and went on to achievements of great fame and notability While saddened by events like the sinking of the Jewish refugee ship Struma, he felt that the passengers were in fact invaders that an independent Palestinian Arab government could have used force to prevent from landing, and he felt that while elderly Jews could come to live out their last years as in generations past, a thriving community under British protection should be forbidden. Struma was a ship chartered to carry Jewish refugees from officially Axis-allied Romania to British-controlled Palestine during World War [18] He believed that the Holocaust was being exploited parasitically by Jews demanding a homeland in Palestine, who he said would throw the Arabs out as soon as they got it. The Holocaust (from the Greek el ''ὁλόκαυστον'' (el-Latn holókauston holos, "completely" and kaustos, "burnt" also known as Due to supposed Jewish influence in the United States, he believed that their right to vote should be revoked in that country. [19]
Sakakini was a lifelong advocate of social reform. He tried to inculcate principles of students' liberation, sex education, socialist and other progressive ideas, and believed in free mingling of the sexes. Sex education is a broad term used to describe Education about human sexual anatomy, Sexual reproduction, Sexual intercourse, Reproductive He was pained by the thought of his children living in Palestine, even though he wrote of the country as a Garden of Eden. Not to be confused with Eden Gardens.The Garden of Eden ( Hebrew "pleasure" גַּן עֵדֶן Arabic: جنات عدن, He wanted his children to live in a nobler country, and dreamed of emigrating if he could. Palestinian Arab culture held values "of honour and family connections, of let us eat and drink and grow strong and attack" he asserted, rather than of "let us sacrifice and forgive and respect and have compassion". [20]

A street and a school in Jerusalem are named after him, as well as the Jazzar mosque's library in Acre and a street in Cairo. His papers are now at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (האוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים الجامعة العبرية في القدس abbreviated HUJI) is He is buried at the Mar Gerges Cemetery in Cairo.
