Scottish School Textbook Teaches that Israel Is "Apartheid, Colonial Regime"
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Jane Prinsley - Classroom materials published by the largest teachers' union in Scotland are riddled with hostile depictions of Israel, a Jewish Chronicle investigation has revealed. One resource promoted by a Scottish local authority accuses Israel's "apartheid and settler colonial regime" of "genocide." In recent years, Jewish schoolchildren in Scotland have reportedly faced a wave of antisemitic attacks and bullying over their perceived connection to Israel, forcing many families to consider leaving the country. Distraught parents of Jewish pupils who have suffered attacks and verbal abuse said many had moved their children to different schools, while others were looking to move to Israel. Edinburgh mother-of-two Elisheva Abramson said, "I don't want to be part of a society that doesn't consider us worth protecting."
