PA Education Minister Resists Calls for Curriculum of Peace and Tolerance
(Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education) Assurances were made that there will be significant improvements in the Palestinian school curriculum that teaches children to become expendable martyrs, reject negotiations and embrace commitment to continuous war. However, PA Education Minister Sabri Saidam appears dead set on maintaining the radical curriculum. The curriculum is carefully crafted by the Palestinian Ministry of Education to alternately combine violence with international pressure against Israel. Saidam posted on his official Facebook page last Friday a status that read: "May Allah have mercy on the Martyrs of Jerusalem and all of Palestine" - referring to the terrorists responsible for the murder of border policewoman Hadas Malka in Jerusalem that same day. The PA Minister of Education himself promotes martyrdom.
