President Biden, in his obsession with reversing every Trump policy, means reinstating money at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency – hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money a year for an agency that teaches Palestinian children about “the Enemy” Israel to believe and to believe “Jihad is the path of glory.”
UNRWA began producing its own educational material last year to help with homeschooling during the pandemic – and some of its content is more toxic than Palestinian Authority propaganda.
The Jerusalem Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education blew the scandalous teaching materials in November, revealing that it glorified terrorism to destroy Israel. Canada and Australia investigated, but UNRWA claimed to have dealt with the matter internally and replaced the “inappropriate” material.
It did not. Although UNRWA has blocked access to its material, IMPACT’s found it and released a report on Wednesday showing that the agency hates more than 320,000 Palestinian children and teaches intolerance.
A math problem asks the number of martyrs of the first intifada. A grammar exercise contains the sentences “The occupier commits all kinds of torture” and “We are an occupied people.” An Arabic lesson causes children to read a text read by a family member and says that ‘our Arab family members unfortunately recognize our enemies and start dealing with them’, referring to the Abraham agreement, and insisting that ‘our enemies one day will be banished, according to the will of God, as failed losers. ”
Even a history lesson on the destruction of ancient Carthage by the Romans asks students to name a Palestinian village destroyed by ‘the Israeli occupation’. Indeed, only Israel is referred to as ‘the enemy’, ‘the Israeli occupation’ or ‘the Zionist occupation’. No maps in the material show the Jewish state.
President Donald Trump has rightly cut the money – $ 360 million a year – to UNRWA, which spends most of its budget on ‘education’. Biden needs to rethink his plan to stop this: These hate mongers do not deserve a penny.
