(Jerusalem Post) - No Israeli text books call for war or violence against Arabs in spite of the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, according to a study released Tuesday by the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace. A study by the CMIP last year showed that 58 textbooks being used in Palestinian Authority schools did not mention Israel or the peace process. In contrast, the new study of 350 Israeli textbooks, including those published in 2000 and 2001, showed that many promote peace, speak of the peace process, and discuss the issue of borders between the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority.
