EU Commission Directorate Condemns Anti-Semitism in Palestinian Textbooks
(Jerusalem Post) Michael Starr - Henrike Trautmann, whose directorate oversees all EU aid to the Palestinian education sector, condemned anti-Semitic and violent content in Palestinian textbooks in a meeting of the EU Parliament's Working Group Against Anti-Semitism on Thursday. In a review of a recently released study on Palestinian Authority textbooks, Trautmann said: "It is very clear that the study does reveal the existence of very deeply problematic content...changes to the curriculum are essential....Full compliance of all educational material with UNESCO standards of peace, tolerance, coexistence and non-violence must be ensured, as must any reference of an anti-Semitic nature be addressed and taken out. It's totally clear that even a little bit of anti-Semitism is not ok."
