The Palestinian Authority Continues to Teach Hate and Reward Terror
(Council on Foreign Relations) Elliott Abrams - After the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, President Biden wrote in the Washington Post that a "revitalized Palestinian Authority" should govern both the West Bank and Gaza. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of revitalization when it comes to the PA's attitude toward terror or toward hatred of Jews and Israel. IMPACT-se issued a new report on PA textbooks in March 2025. The report concludes, "In July 2024, the Palestinian Authority signed a Letter of Intent with the European Union, committing to curriculum reform and the removal of inciting content to align with UNESCO standards of peace and tolerance. However, the materials published for the 2024-2025 school year demonstrate a complete absence of such reforms." Donors to the PA's educational programs should take a closer look at what they are supporting. PA schools are teaching another generation to hate Jews and Israelis and to become terrorists.
