Jews Are Still "Treacherous," according to Saudi Textbooks
(JNS-Israel Hayom) In the Saudi curriculum, Jews are blamed as assassins, described as monkeys, and will be fought and killed on the day of resurrection, according to a new report by IMPACT-se, a research institute that analyzes schoolbooks and curricula in accordance with UNESCO-defined standards on peace and tolerance. Christians and Jews are still called "infidels" in textbooks, which also teach that Jews and Israelis are eternally treacherous and determined to harm Muslim holy places. Israel is seen as conspiring and striving to control the Middle East. "Improvements have appeared in recent years, and while they are welcomed, there remains too large an amount of unacceptable and intolerant material" in Saudi textbooks, said IMPACT-se CEO Marcus Sheff. "Anti-Jewish hatred is still widespread....One is left wondering why, if considerable change can be made to gender issues, a similar effort could not be made to remove anti-Jewish hate."
