Norway to Withhold Funding to Palestinians over Textbooks Promoting Hate and Violence
(JTA) Marcy Oster - Foreign Affairs Minister Ine Eriksen Soreide said Thursday that Norway will withhold half of the year's funding to the Palestinian Authority's education system until it stops using textbooks that promote hate and violence. In May, the European Parliament passed resolutions that condemn the PA for continuing to teach hate and oppose EU aid to the PA being used for this purpose.
