(Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center) Hamas recently attacked UNRWA for its intention to introduce changes in the curriculum of the lower grades of elementary schools that it operates in Gaza, triggering several "popular" protests. The Palestinian Ministry of Education in Ramallah also objected to any change in the Palestinian curriculum. What were some of the proposed changes? Removal of maps of Palestine from textbooks and no mention of Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. No mention of cities in Israel which were "occupied" by Israel in 1948, such as Tiberias and Safed. Coeducational education such as showing boys and girls together dancing a folk dance. No glorification of Palestinian prisoners: a play about Palestinian townsmen welcoming released prisoners was replaced with "a fairy tale about people welcoming a prince." Removing the topic of "rebuilding a home which Israel destroyed." 2017-04-06 00:00:00Full Article
