IMPACT-se, a textbook analysis organization, said its recent report contributed to the budgetary committee’s decision.“We are delighted that our policy recommendations have been taken up, and are certain this will help sway the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Education to stop inciting 1.2 million Palestinian children and take hate out of their curriculum,” IMPACT-se CEO Marcus Sheff told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. Sheff explained that once European parliamentarians were made aware of the contents of PA textbooks, “no matter what part you’re in, you don’t want... to be paying to encourage jihad or a one-state solution.”The IMPACT-se report showed there was no mention of Israel or two states for two nations living side by side. Israel was almost only referred to as the “Zionist occupation,” and the textbooks include antisemitic motifs and “incorporate the memes of heroism and martyrdom... in clashes with Israelis.”“There was only a vision of one state from the river to the sea, which is not EU policy,” Sheff said. IMPACT-se COO Arik Agassi cited “a very negative trend of serious anti-American content,” in Palestinian textbooks, including blaming the US for the September 11, 2001 attacks.
