EU Commissioner Commits to PA Funding Freeze over Textbook Incitement
(ANI-India-Twitter) Oliver Verhelyi, the European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement, tweeted on July 14 his support for conditioning the release of EU funds on the removal of incitement and antisemitism from PA textbooks. "Incitement to hatred and violence and glorification of terror violate EU core values. It is a poison for our society, in particular in classrooms and textbooks. There can be no justification to turn a blind eye, neither in Europe nor beyond." "The Commission has an obligation to protect the integrity of the EU budget, and act if European taxpayers' money is used to call into question our fundamental principles."
