President Biden, in his obsession with reversing all Trump policies, intends to re-establish funding for the United Nations Assistance and Works Agency – hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars a year for an agency that teaches Palestinian children to hate ” the Enemy ”Israel and believe“ Jihad is the road to glory. “
UNRWA started producing its own educational material last year to help with learning at home during the pandemic – and some of its content is more poisonous than the Palestinian Authority’s propaganda.
The Jerusalem-based Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education opened the scandalous teaching materials cover in November, revealing that they glorified terrorism in the cause of Israel’s destruction. Canada and Australia opened investigations, but UNRWA claimed that it handled the matter internally and replaced the “inappropriate” material.
It was not. Although UNRWA has blocked access to its material, IMPACT has found it and released a report on Wednesday showing that the agency still teaches hatred and intolerance to more than 320,000 Palestinian children.
A math problem asks students the number of martyrs in the first intifada. A grammar exercise includes the phrases “The occupant commits all kinds of torture” and “We are a busy people”. In an Arabic class, the children write a text read by a family member who says that “our Arab relatives sadly recognized our enemies and started to interact with them”, referring to Abraham’s agreements, and insists that one day ” our enemies will be banished, God willing, as failed losers. ”
Even a history lesson on the destruction of ancient Carthage by the Romans asks students to name the name of a Palestinian village destroyed by “Israeli occupation”. In fact, Israel is referred to only as “the enemy”, “the Israeli occupation” or “the Zionist occupation”. No map in the materials shows the Jewish state.
President Donald Trump was right to cut funding – $ 360 million a year – for UNRWA, which devotes most of its budget to “education”. Biden should rethink his plan to reverse this: These haters don’t deserve a penny.
