EU funding will instead go to organisations that 'have a proven track record of promoting educational initiatives in school settings for children designed to foster tolerance'.

What a crock as usual from Singer.

Here is a little less biased a point of view.

I took the trouble to read the article you cited and note that the author wrote this:
"Palestinian textbooks do contain examples of antisemitism, incitement to violence, glorification of violence and dehumanization of Jews or Israelis, but according to the researchers their frequency is limited"

With respect to that author and the researchers he quoted - there should not be even one such example in Palestinian school textbooks and if they are found - they should be trashed and reprinted with the offensive parts omitted.

The researchers referred to in this article were not the researchers I referred to in my article - nor did the author of the article seek to quote even one example of the supposedly "limited frequency" with which such Jew-hating statements appeared in the textbooks.

I have on the other hand provided readers with specific examples of what actually appears in these textbooks, they are very extensive and spread through various grades.

200 maps that do not show "Israel" on them is a shocking indictment of a school educational system that is clearly designed to poison young minds.

Encouraging Jihad and martyrdom to kill Jews has no place in any education curriculum.

Jew-hatred in Palestinian textbooks highlighted with the specific examples I provided in my article needs to be called out, condemned and removed.

Your attempt to try and excuse the inexcusable is shocking and disgraceful.

Textbooks are meant to educate - not brainwash and indoctrinate.

Shame on you.

Full of crap.

"Any peaceful resolution of the 100-years old Jewish-Arab conflict seems further away than ever whilst PA textbooks inciting Jewish-Israeli hatred continue to poison young peoples' minds."

If you're going to mention one part of the problem you may as well mention the other.

'God gave it to us'
Their hate is simply a reaction to your subjugation.

Your 'peaceful' resolution to the conflict is sending them all to Jordan or murdering them all so you can have the whole lot for yourselves.
