UNRWA schools continue to teach hatred against Israel
(Worthy News) – Schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) reportedly continue to teach hatred against Israel despite a pledge to end such incitement, according to a new report released by the IMPACT-se research institute last week.
Between March and September 2020, IMPACT-se pressured the United Nations to recognize and address the existence of systematic hateful content in UNRWA textbooks. Donor countries also applied pressure on UNRWA to remove hatred against Israel and Jews. UNRWA eventually admitted that the content produced by its own staff was inappropriate, which was welcomed at the time by Germany, UNRWA’s largest foreign donor.
However, despite UNWRA’s pledge to address the problems of disinformation and the promotion of hatred against Israel in its textbooks, in practice nothing has changed. IMPACT-se’s report notes that UNRWA-made material still glorifies violence and jihad against Israel, which is continuously described as “the enemy.” Israel does not appear on any UNRWA maps of the Middle East.
