Congress To Consider Stiff Conditions for Aid to Palestine

A note received from the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education
The Myth of Textbook Incitement
Dear Friends:

Some Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives are considering attaching conditions to financial aid to the Palestinians in the Foreign Relations Authorization Act (HR2601), FY 2006-2007 budget. Proposed amendments would put stiff conditions on aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and institutions, like the Palestinian Curriculum Center, to accommodate Israeli diktat and Israeli interpretation of Palestinian history. 

Accusations against the Palestinian textbooks -- that they incite anti- Jewish attitudes -- have been roundly discredited by many scholars and researchers who studied the books. The orchestrated campaign of incitement against the Palestinians is being waged simply for having their own new Palestinian School Curricula that teach their own history from their own national perspective.  

Attached is the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education's response to this ongoing anti-Palestinian campaign.
