The A.M Qattan Foundation funded by several European countries has trained teachers in the Palestinian Authority while using texts that promote and support terrorism, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported.
David Singer: The European Parliament has threatened to block €20 million in aid to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) – unless “substantive positive” changes are made by the next academic school year to Palestinian Authority (PA) textbooks used in UNWRA schools.
It found that an “exercise describes ‘pieces of corpses’ being dispersed throughout city streets to teach grade-nine spelling”; and Israel, a U.N. member state, “is solely referred to as ‘the Enemy’ or ‘the Occupation’ and is erased from maps of the region.”
Israel Kasnett: Serious mistakes were made undermining the credibility of the report, including analyzing the wrong textbooks and attributing Arabic-language Israeli textbooks to the Palestinian Authority, ignoring antisemitism and ignoring incitement to violence, martyrdom and jihad.
“It is grotesque that U.K. taxpayers’ money is helping to support the teaching of a curriculum which incites violence and terrorism and spreads antisemitism,” said Parliament member Joan Ryan.
