British Taxpayers Still Funding Palestinian Schools Where Children Are Made to Stage Mock Executions
(Daily Mail-UK) Daniel Martin - British taxpayers are still funding "lessons in hate" at Palestinian schools. It emerged last year that the UK's Department for International Development has helped pay the salaries of officials who drew up a new curriculum that teaches children the virtues of becoming a jihadi. Plays put on at schools and summer camps have even included pupils staging mock executions. One in Hebron featured a child draped in Palestinian colors "shooting" another dressed as an Israeli soldier. Textbooks teach five-year-olds the words for "martyr" and "attack," while teenagers are told that those who sacrifice themselves will be rewarded with "72 virgin brides in paradise." Joan Ryan MP, chairman of the Labour Friends of Israel, said aid to the Palestinian Authority should be suspended until the books are removed. Britain is giving the Palestinian Authority 70 million pounds in the current financial year.
