Teachers are being instructed to tell students that Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are in danger due to actions taken by Israel. This message is not only for students, but is widespread in Palestinian society and beyond and has the potential to provoke violent outbursts and terrorism.

Similarly, in the guide ״ Geography and Modern and Contemporary History of Palestine, ״ 10th-grade teachers are directed to ask students: ״ What are the reasons for the Zionist occupation’s digging of tunnels under the Al-Aqsa Mosque? ״ The answer provided is: ״ We all know the extent of the Zionists’ cunning and their hostility towards the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and their efforts to eliminate and destroy it through various means. Sometimes, they resort to burning it, and other times, they try to convince the entire world that the area called the Dome of the Rock – which is part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque – is the Al-Aqsa Mosque itself so that our attention will focus on protecting it without considering the other parts of the mosque. Now they continue their excavations beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque under the pretense of searching for their fictitious temple. ״
