Recently released European Union report on Palestinian textbooks provides an opportunity to make Jewish voices heard and act against the creeping normalization of the dehumanization of the Jewish people.
To no one’s surprise, the study found that the textbooks contain a disturbing pattern of antisemitism and incitement designed to portray Jews and Israelis as fundamentally evil. Yet the report, contradicting the bulk of its own contents, provided the EU with an escape option by making a conclusive statement that the textbooks “adhere to UNESCO standards.”
Without any links to what was found to be negative portrayals we're left to *shrug* and expecting us to dig through an entire UN report is cruel and unusual punishment.

It’s not a UN report. The UN would be the LAST body to acknowledge antisemitism, especially as it relates to Israel.
Other than that, I’m with you.....I hope OP comes back and quotes some of the most relevant passages.
Did a little digging. Still haven’t worked through the report, but the linked article below describes the antisemitic teachings the Palestinian children are subject to. Among them are calls to give examples of how Jews tried to kill Mohammed, refer to Jews as “enemies of Islam,” how maps do not name Israel as such but call the entire state “Zionist occupation,” and dozens of others.
The good news is the the EU commissioner is calling to review the aid it gives to the Palestinians in light of their anti-Jew teachings and to “work with them” in eradicating the antisemitic teachings from its books.

The report isn't new, it just was never released to the public. Thus any reviews of it are going to be skewed by those who had advance copies of it. There are websites that show Palestine's current curriculum.

Not surprised Palestinians are teaching children "Jews are bad". Every group tries to indoctrinate children, to teach them to hate and fear something.
Israel and the EU have known about it for years. It's just Israel (or Jewish media) have posted articles yearly and the EU hasn't done any actions to stop it.
The "Ilhan Omar is a valuable member of our caucus" Democrats don't seem to mind either. But what I don't get is why Israel doesn't take stronger action here. While I don't have a problem with them bombing the **** out of terrorist hellhole Gaza, they need to do a lot more here, at least pressure Biden and the US on Palestinian curriculum.

OSLO created the Palestinian Authority, thus Israel has no control over their education system. In addition the EU is not the only funding source for these Textbooks as the UNRWA got caught printing them.
