European Parliament Calls to Freeze Funding to PA over Hate in Textbooks
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The European Parliament has passed a resolution that "deplores the problematic and hateful material in Palestinian school textbooks and study cards which still has not been removed." The resolution called on the EU to freeze funding to the Palestinian Authority until the textbooks are aligned with UNESCO standards of peace and tolerance. Hateful content "has still not been removed," the resolution stated, despite claims to the contrary by the Palestinian Authority. The European Parliament voted down five attempts to remove the resolution, overcoming a lobbying campaign by the PA delegation to Brussels and pro-Palestinian NGOs.
