PA Reneges on Promise to Change Textbooks
(IMPACT-se) The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) has uncovered thousands of pages of new teaching material produced by the Palestinian Authority, some of which directly calls for violence and promotes anti-Semitism. This material was written despite an EU "roadmap" created with the PA to ensure new textbooks produced in 2021 would be free of hate. The new material contains content that is worse than current or previous Palestinian textbooks, with a greater number of lessons that directly incite violence and propagate overt anti-Semitism. The material includes teaching about the "characteristics" of Jews who are devious and treacherous and Israelis who are described as "Satan's aide." The material demands that students die as martyrs to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque and that those who do so will be greatly rewarded.
