Anti-Israeli Content Removed from Saudi Textbooks
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - References to Jews as monkeys and pigs who worship the devil, and descriptions of them as traitors by nature and sworn enemies of Islam, have been removed from Saudi textbooks, IMPACT-se in London has reported. Also removed were conspiracies that Israel planned to expand its borders from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq. Content was added against Hizbullah and the Iranian-backed Houthis and against the Muslim Brotherhood movement, as well as more tolerant content that promotes peace. IMPACT-se Vice President Eric Agassi noted, "The changes that [Crown Prince] Bin Salman is making are extremely brave, unprecedented and are a sign of things to come. Saudi...textbooks are distributed to Muslim communities around the world and are studied by tens of millions of students."
