>The European Parliament has adopted a resolution condemning educational material produced by the Palestinian Authority and by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees for its role in inciting hatred against Israelis.
>In a document adopted on April 11, the EP said that it “condemns the problematic and hateful contents encouraging violence, spreading antisemitism and inciting hatred in Palestinian school textbooks, drafted by [European] Union-funded civil servants as well as in supplementary educational materials developed by UNRWA staff and taught in its schools.”
>The EP further recognized that those teaching materials, subsidized with European taxpayer money in the case of PA textbooks, had a role in radicalizing Gazans prior to the October 7 onslaught, in which 1,200 people were killed by Hamas and other terror groups in southern Israel, and 253 were taken hostage to Gaza.

I’m kinda gobsmacked that they are issuing this condemnation. I don’t expect it to change much with regards to the general population – people have dug in deeply to their sides. But it’s great to see this officially recognized and not just have it be Israel saying “look at their fucking textbooks” all the time.
