EU Study Examines Wrong Textbooks, Concludes Palestinian Authority Promotes Peace with Israel
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - An EU-sponsored study to examine whether textbooks used by schools in the Palestinian Authority incite against Israel actually examined textbooks in Arabic used in the Israeli school system. These textbooks promote coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis. IMPACT-se, a research and policy institute with a proven track record of examining PA textbooks, found that the European researchers quoted from textbooks that had been edited by Israel's Education Ministry and do not appear anywhere in the PA's education system. IMPACT-se CEO Marcus Sheff said, "The study was a comedy of errors from start to finish. The researchers 'researched' the wrong textbooks."
