They found three main strands of indoctrination running though the texts: delegitimization of the State of Israels existence, including the denial of Jewish holy sites within Israel; demonization of Israel and the Jews, who are regularly referred to as the Zionist enemy; and incitement to violent struggle to reclaim the whole of Israel as Palestine, with no education for peace and co-existence.
One math problem for Grade 11 students read: One of the settlers [Israelis] shoots at [Palestinian] cars that pass on one of the roads. If the probability of his hitting a car in one shot is 0.7, and the settler shot at 10 cars, what will you expect to be the number of cars that were hit? The answer given in the teachers notes was seven.
The problem of the PA schools is more fundamental than [that], he told the Post. The entire infrastructure of the PA schools is geared to promote terror. The PAs Bethlehem High School for Girls recently built a memorial at the entrance to the school honoring a 17-year-old female suicide bomber, the Martyr Ayyat Al-Akhras.
