The European Parliament has passed a series of resolutions which condemn the Palestinian Authority for continuing to teach hatred in school text books.

The resolutions, passed in Brussels on Thursday with a 60 per cent majority, also opposed European Union aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) being used to ‘’incite religious radicalisation, intolerance, ethnic violence and martyrdom among children.’’

The legislation noted that problematic material in Palestinian school textbooks had still not been removed despite pledges by the PA to act.

It also demanded that salaries of teachers and education sector civil servants financed by the EU are used to teach curricula that reflect UNESCO standards of peace, tolerance, coexistence and non-violence.
