(Worthy News) – An international peace monitoring group has warned in a new report that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) which provides aid and education to Palestinians has actively perpetrated Hamas’ genocidal hatred of Jews through school books which teach children that Israel must be destroyed and that violent jihad and martyrdom to this end are glorious aims, the Times of Israel (TOI) reports.
Based in the UK and Israel, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) has long warned about UNRWA’s collusion with Hamas in Gaza and with Palestinian jihadism generally. The organization is concerned with monitoring school curricula around the world and in the Middle East especially.
Among many examples of UNRWA’s hostility to the Jewish nation, the new IMPACT-se report references an UNRWA geography book showing a map with no “Israel” on it, only “Palestine” in its place. In another example, an Islamic studies book highlights the importance of “terrorizing the enemy” and of martyrdom.
“Arabic language and reading comprehension are taught to UNRWA students using violent imagery, including the use of “explosive belts” and texts glorifying martyrdom,” the IMPACT-se report says.
“The cooperation between UNRWA and Hamas is absolutely undeniable,” Marcus Sheff, CEO of IMPACT-se said in a statement. In particular, Sheff said, this cooperation fueled jihadist radicalization which ultimately led to Hamas’ genocidal attack against Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 last year.
“The end result of that radicalization is that among the thousands who went over the border on October 7 and committed acts of murder, rape and abduction, it is statistically probable that the majority went to UNRWA’s schools,” Sheff said. “The UNRWA curriculum is what they were brought up on, and it teaches about jihad and martyrdom being the most important meanings of life, and that Jews are liars and frauds.”
