Thank you Dan!

[Dan Shapiro @DanielBShapiro]

Fascinating piece by @marcusjsheff of @IMPACT_SE on the standards used to evaluate curriculum and textbooks to promote non-violence, tolerance, and peace in school education. @N7_Initiative @AtlanticCouncil @ACMideast

Superb insights from @DavidAWeinberg at @ADL on Egyptian textbooks. We’ll worth a read.

[IMPACT-SE @IMPACT_SE]

.@LahavHarkov took a deep dive into the EU’s 200 page report on Palestinian textbooks citing examples which are in clear violation of #UNESCO standards & @TheIHRA definition adopted by @EU_Commission.

[ADL @ADL]

Glad the EU released this report on egregious hate & violence in PA textbooks. It has flaws (the books now are not meaningfully better & do not meet UNESCO standards), but transparency helps. Now the EU must ensure aid does not enable ongoing incitement: https://t.co/GqZ3G1T4VX

@marcusjsheff is telling us about the power that textbooks hold. They can serve to either increase the tolerance or intolerance of societies

🆕 Today we sent an urgent letter to @vonderleyen @antonioguterres @JosepBorrellF & @OliverVarhelyi demanding the termination of EU taxpayers’ money financing incitement to violence, hatred, and antisemitsm in #UNRWA's education material.
Initiative by @MiriamMLex and myself ⬇️

Thank you, @SecBlinken for highlighting the problem of UNRWA "disseminating in its educational products #antisemitic or anti-Israel information." UNRWA must take urgent steps to reveal which passages from hateful PA textbooks it does or does not teach: https://t.co/Ncm6rX1Lf0

US Secretary of State testifies to Congress: UNRWA distributes antisemitic teaching material. Quoted here in @ynetnews along with @arikagassi https://t.co/IfIQnXkepa

[Marcus Sheff @marcusjsheff]

@LahavHarkov @Immort4l_Legacy Last month (May 2021) IMPACT-se released an updated report on the PA curriculum.
This is the latest report conducted on PA textbooks.
It found there was no significant change, the textbooks still reject peace and promote hate. Read here: https://t.co/N4MO54EICR

[Marcus Sheff @marcusjsheff]

@jenny_aharon @IMPACT_SE Thank you, Jenny!

[Marcus Sheff @marcusjsheff]

Mr. Blinken's prioritizing the reform of UNRWA teaching materials is very encouraging.
UNRWA is a UN organization that incites children to violence and hate.
That is clearly untenable and can no longer be tolerated.

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the renewal of funding for #UNRWA is conditional on anti-#Israel and anti-#Jewish #education reform

Fantastic basic guide to understanding #Qatar and it’s foreign policy with @IMPACT_SE’s two cents included by CEO @marcusjsheff in relation to Qatari textbooks based on our report featured by @kann_news @kaisos1987

[Combat Antisemitism Movement @CombatASemitism]

Glorification of terror targeting Israelis and blaming Jews for the rise of the Nazis are just a few examples of the antisemitic content taught in Qatari schools, according to a new report by @IMPACT_SE.

The Qatari regime is one of Hamas' main sponsors.

[Marcus Sheff @marcusjsheff]

#Qatar wants to be an international education leader. But antisemitism is central to its curriculum, teaching Qatari that children Jews control the economy, are treacherous and brought the Shoah on themselves.
That's not international leadership. It's time for Qatar to decide.

[i24NEWS English @i24NEWS_EN]

As Arab #Gulf states move toward better relations with Israel, #Qatar's curriculum still teaches children to reject peace with #Israel. Textbooks are riddled with 'classic anti-Semitic tropes,' says @marcusjsheff, CEO of @IMPACT_SE.

[Algemeiner @Algemeiner]

If Sen. Murphy "had visited Gaza and the West Bank where the large majority of UNRWA schools are situated...he would have found that fourth grade children learn math through counting suicide bombers," @IMPACT_SE's @marcusjsheff told @SharonWrobel1. https://t.co/6tkDYpDLuc

[Lukas Mandl @lukasmandl]

Colleagues and I just sent a letter to @vonderleyen expressing our concern about incitement in Palestinian textbooks and asking the Commission to withhold at least some funding to the PA until it replaces these books. European taxpayers' money must not be used to incite hatred.

[Marcus Sheff @marcusjsheff]

Thank you, Fulvio

[Garnett Genuis @GarnettGenuis]

UNRWA continues to promote hate, seeking the banishment of Jews from Israel and criticizing Arab states over the Abraham accords. @karinagould falsely claims that these materials were not produced by #UNRWA. Read the report I reference here: https://t.co/NXNz2J6hZn #cdnpoli

[Marcus Sheff @marcusjsheff]

A great opportunity to hear @DavidAWeinberg’s top-class research on Iranian textbooks.
