Jews, Israel and the the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in Teachers' Guides Published by the Palestinian Authority's Education Ministry
The purpose of this study is checking the attitude to Israel, the Jews and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as reflected in the teachers' guides, namely, books issued by the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Education in order to guide the teachers how to teach various school subjects.
The study was written by Dr. Arnon Groiss who has been researching since 2000 the attitude to the "other" and to peace in various Middle Eastern curricula and has authored many reports on this issue.
The study was initiated by the Center for Near East Policy Research headed by David Bedein and has been added to the series of publications on Palestinian schoolbooks issued by
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC)
The present study found again that the fundamental elements in the teachers' guides were: delegitimization of the State of Israel, demonization of both Israel and the Jews, call for a violent struggle for the liberation of Palestine and the absence of any attempt to solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict peacefully.
These fundamental elements had already appeared in previous studies of the Palestinian schoolbooks.
This study is the last one in a series of studies done in the framework of a wider project that began in 2015 and aimed at checking the attitude of Palestinian Authority's curriculum to the Jewish-Israeli "other" within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to the possibility of solving the conflict peacefully.
The former three studies covered 364 schoolbooks of all grades in various subjects that were published between the years 2013-2018. The present study too deals with this subject, but from a different angle – that of the instructions given to the Palestinian teachers by the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Education.
This study is based on 109 teachers' guides published by the Ministry of Education between the years 2016-2018.
