who Support Terrorism

For decades, the official Palestinian educational system has promoted incitement to terrorism and violence. This includes glorifying terrorists—martyrs and prisoners—while obfuscating the existence of the State of Israel and portraying Jews in a demonic manner. 1. Components of the official Educational System The educational system includes the teaching staff, teachers' guides, textbooks, higher education programs, and summer camps for children and youth in Judea & Samaria, and the Gaza Strip. 2.Educational Environment The educational environment, including schools (sometimes named after terrorists), class and school activities, and social networks, all serve as a vehicle for transmitting the Palestinian Authority's messages in the context of the conflict with Israel. This includes: „ Calls for Violent Struggle: Advocating for the liberation of all territories, including those within Israel's 1967 borders, glorifying terrorism, and encouraging the murder of Jews. „ Delegitimization of Israel: Denying the existence of the State of Israel and the historical presence of Jews in the land, including their holy sites. „ Demonization of Jews and Israel: Promoting negative stereotypes and hostility towards Jews and Israel. 3. Glorification of Terrorists The glorification of terrorists occurs on a large scale within Palestinian Authority territories through rallies, street naming, competitions, and official ceremonies. Terrorists are often presented as role models for children and teenagers. Notable examples include: Schools Named After Terrorists „ "Amin al-Hussaini" elementary and middle school for boys in Ramallah. Named after the Mufti of Jerusalem during the British Mandate who collaborated with Nazi Germany. „ "Dalal Al-Mughrabi" elementary school for girls in Hebron. Named after a terrorist who led the 1978 coastal road attack, killing 35 Israelis.
