Educational material for Palestinian students provided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) promotes jihadi violence and incites antisemitism, according to a new report by Israeli education watchdog Impact-se.<\/span><\/p>\n

Released on Thursday, the Review of 2022 UNRWA-Produced Study Materials in the Palestinian Territories found that the UNRWA curriculum describes Jews as \u201cimpure and inherently treacherous\u201d and teaches that murdering Israelis leads to glory and martyrdom. The findings were made after UNRWA\u2019s maintaining several times that its curricula was purged of antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples included in Impact-se\u2019s findings include a grammar lesson that uses the sentence, \u201cThe Palestinians sacrifice their blood to liberate Jerusalem,\u201d and \u201cArabic Drill Cards\u201d for 9th graders that say, \u201cWhen the [Muslim] nation is negligent in protecting al-Aqsa, then the Jews will dare to defile it.\u201d Neither does Israel appear on any maps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of the material is \u201cUNRWA branded,\u201d Impact-se continued, but it cannot be accessed through its online education portal<\/a> and is essentially hidden from public scrutiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

“After a similar scandal last year, UNRWA promised that all offending material produced by them would be removed. It seems that UNRWA has interpreted this as removal from the website, where it can be scrutinized, rather than removed from actual classrooms,\u201d Impact-se CEO Marcus Sheff  said in a statement. \u201cUNRWA was again made aware of our concerns just two months ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He observed that the US \u201cis currently financing UNRWA to the tune of $338 million annually, the majority of which goes to education. Sadly, it is clear that hate teaching in UNRWA schools is increasing rather than abating since US funding was restarted. Surely, the will can be found to enforce policy, given that red lines are being crossed so egregiously.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The report comes just one week after six UNRWA teachers were placed on administrative leave<\/a> for uttering hate speech. Last Wednesday, UN Watch, a Geneva-based NGO, said it had identified \u201cmore than 120 UNRWA teachers and other staff who praise Hitler, glorify terrorism and spread antisemitism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
