Muslims in Israel Teach Children to Hate Jews

​Israel's Muslim Children Are Indoctrinated in Hate:
Islamic [aka Palestinian] Schools Are Typical Muslim Schools
No Israeli “oppression” is needed to explain the hate of Muslims in Jewish State

7-23-20, * -- Indoctrinating Muslim [aka Palestinian] schoolchildren to hate and oppose the existence of the Jewish state of Israel; after examining appx 400 textbooks and teachers’ guides a recently study [1] shows there are three aspects to this hate filled education: Islamic traditional ideals of Jihad [war] and martyrdom are exalted and given a special role in the liberation struggle.

1. De-legitimization of the State of Israel’s existence and the very presence of Jews in the Land of Israel, including the denial of the existence of Jewish holy places in the Land of Israel
2. Demonization of Israel and the Jews: “The Zionist enemy,[”] according to the description appearing in the schoolbooks, is wholly evil and constitutes an existential threat to the Palestinians who are depicted as the ultimate victim, with no shared responsibility for the conflict
3. Education for a violent struggle for the liberation of the Land of Israel (Palestine) with no education for peace and co-existence. In none of the PA’s schoolbooks has any call for the resolution of the conflict peacefully, or any mentioning of co-existence with Israel been found. Jews are demonized as well in the religious context, outside the context of the conflict. They are depicted as a corrupted nation from its very beginning and as enemies of Islam since its early days.

Citing the Islamic book "Koran" and other Islamic writings, Islamic textbooks teach that “The corruption of the Children of Israel on earth was and will be the reason of their destruction”; and, though allied to them, Muhammad “was aware of the Jews’ deceitfulness and conspiracies.”

While indoctrinating the Muslim schoolchildren in 'Palestinian' schools to hate Jews may seem specific to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—that is, may appear to be a product of politics and grievances—it is, in fact, part of a broader trend: school textbooks in a variety of other Muslim nations also teach hate for the “other”—even those who, far from being in a position to “oppress” Muslims are actually being oppressed by them. [..] Schools in Pakistan also continue to “teach their children to hate Christians and other religious minorities.”

Instead of minimizing hate materials and discouraging religious extremism [as in 2014 Muslim government had vowed to do after Islamic terror attack on a school killed 132 students], the opposite seems to be occurring with a growing trend toward a more biased curriculum and more religious extremism being taught in Pakistan’s public schools.

Pakistan Muslims: Speaking in 2019, a Pakistani Christian leader said that religious “minorities are considered infidels and they are depicted negatively in textbooks, which promote prejudices against minorities.”  Because of this: Many minorities give their children Islamic names so they will not be singled out as Christians and become potential targets for discrimination in schools.

Turkey Muslims: Turkey demonizes non-Muslims - According to a Christian convert, who now lives in the U.S.  “An anti-Christian attitude is a big part of the national identity [in Turkey], so anyone or anything that promotes Christianity is automatically suspicious.”

Iran Muslims: In Dec 2019 Iran unleashed sweeping crackdown on Christians, particularly those who have dared to convert from Islam to Christianity. Christians are being arrested and jailed on false charges, such as "promoting Zionism", "spreading corrupt Christians beliefs." One charge: "acting against national security" -- is often used "to prosecute Christians for their house church activities." More here

If Palestinian schoolchildren are being indoctrinated to hate Israel and Jews for “stealing their land” and generally oppressing them, what explains the fact that other children all throughout the Islamic world are also being indoctrinated to hate other non-Muslims, particularly disenfranchised Christian minorities who, far from “lording” over Muslims, are currently being persecuted by them? 

The answer: Islam’s ingrained sense of supremacism and hate for non Muslims they call 'infidels' should be self-evident.
