EU Commissioner Calls to Reconsider Aid after Anti-Semitism Found in PA Textbooks
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The EU must review the funding it gives to education in the Palestinian Authority after an EU-sponsored report found anti-Semitism and incitement in Palestinian textbooks, European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi said Monday. Varhelyi seeks to immediately slash funding to the PA, but EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell objects, a source in Brussels said. Brussels directly funds the salaries of teachers and the writers of textbooks which, the report indicates, encourage and glorify violence against Israelis and Jews.
