EU Foreign Affairs Committee Blasts UNRWA Chief over Palestinian Textbooks
(Jewish News Syndicate) Members of the European Union's Parliament's influential Foreign Affairs Committee slammed United Nations Relief and Works Agency Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini last week over the content of textbooks used by UNRWA schools. During a hearing on August 31, the Committee's members cited findings from the latest report by Israeli NGO IMPACT-se, which monitors Palestinian curricula to assess whether young people are being indoctrinated with hate. The report, published in July this year, examined UNRWA's self-produced educational materials and found that they promoted hatred, antisemitism, and the celebration of terrorism, bloodshed, and martyrdom.
