The report says that Israeli and Palestinian teachers both portray their neighbours as enemies, though Israel does so considerably less. After ploughing through nearly 30,000 pages of text, the researchers found that 49% of texts dealing with Palestinians in Israeli state-issued schoolbooks are negative; in government-funded Orthodox Jewish academies the figure rises to 73%. One such textbook depicts Arabs as “bloodthirsty” and “a nest of murderers”.

In Palestinian textbooks 84% of the references to Israelis are negative. In both Palestinians and Israeli state schools the books promote “martyrdom-sacrifice through death”. Each side glorifies itself, while denigrating the other.

Moreover, the textbooks tend to deny each other’s existence. Of 800 maps of their contested land studied by the researchers, 87% of the Israeli ones mark none of the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan river as Palestinian, whereas 96% of Palestinian maps make no mention of Israel. “Israeli school maps feed into the Palestinian narrative that Israel wants to grab more and more land, and Palestinian school maps feed an Israeli narrative that Palestinians want to throw them into the sea,”

In an important new book, Palestine in Israeli School Books, Israeli language and education professor Nurit Peled-Elhanan buries the second part of Livni’s myth once and for all.

Peled-Elhanan examines 17 Israeli school textbooks on history, geography and civic studies. Her conclusions are an indictment of the Israeli system of indoctrination and its cultivation of anti-Arab racism from an early age: “The books studied here harness the past to the benefit of the … Israeli policy of expansion, whether they were published during leftist or right-wing [education] ministries” (224).

Inculcation of anti-Palestinian ideology in the minds of Israel’s youth is achieved in the books through the use of exclusion and absence: “none of the textbooks studied here includes, whether verbally or visually, any positive cultural or social aspect of Palestinian life-world: neither literature nor poetry, neither history nor agriculture, neither art nor architecture, neither customs nor traditions are ever mentioned” (49).

On the occasions Palestinians (including Palestinian citizens of Israel) are mentioned, it is in an overwhelmingly negative, Orientalist and demeaning light: “all [the books] represent [Palestinians] in racist icons or demeaning classificatory images such as terrorists, refugees and primitive farmers — the three ‘problems’ they constitute for Israel” (49).

“For example in MTII [Modern Times II, a 1999 history text book] there are only two photographs of Palestinians, one of face-covered Palestinian children throwing stones ‘at our forces’ … [t]he other photograph is of ‘refugees’ … placed in a nameless street” (72).

This what Peled-Elhanan terms “strategies of negative representation.” She explains that “Palestinians are often referred to as ‘the Palestinian problem.’” While this expression is even used by writers considered “progressive,” the term “was salient in the ultra-right-wing ideology and propaganda of Meir Kahane,” the late Israeli politician and rabbi who openly called for the Palestinians to be expelled. Peled-Elhanan finds this disturbing, coming as it does “only 60 years after the Jews were called ‘The Jewish Problem’ ”

a never ending cycle:
Nurit Peled-Elhanan


On Israel[edit]
In Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education, which was released in the UK in April 2012, Nurit Peled-Elhanan describes the depiction of Arabs in Israeli schoolbooks as racist. She states that their only representation is as "refugees, primitive farmers and terrorists," claiming that in "hundreds and hundreds" of books, not one photograph depicted an Arab as a "normal person."[3]

The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education criticized Peled-Elhanan's paper, "The Presentation of Palestinians in Israeli Schoolbooks of History and Geography 1998-2003", which was based on seven schoolbooks, for being "highly selective [in its] use of source material, leaving out all references which contradict [its] thesis," "[a] deliberate misinterpretation of facts" and "naccurate, distorted, and even downright [based on] false evidence."
The author Arnon Groiss concluded that "Peled-Ehanan's claim regarding this point is clearly false ... This heavily politicized and thus biased approach distorts the material to produce a picture to her liking." Groiss further criticized the work of Peled-Elhanan for stretching the definition of racism to include cases that researchers would normally categorize as ethnocentrism. To date, the paper has not been published by scholarly journals.[10]

Elhanan criticized Israeli writer A. B. Yehoshua for comments he made in reference to the cultural gap between Jews and Arabs that Yehoshua said was the reason they could never live together.
She said that in her eyes Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak, Ismail Haniyeh, and Hezbollah are equivalent: "They enjoy watching children die."
When asked about an incident in which residents of a neighborhood in East Jerusalem had a barbecue near a Jewish neighborhood during Yom Kippur, shouted through megaphones and attacked Jews returning from synagogue, Elhanan said that the occupation and lack of neighborhood services generated hate and "hate creates things like that."[1]

Third attack of day: Terrorist killed after stabbing Border Police officer in Hebron

Third attack of day: Terrorist killed after stabbing Border Police officer in Hebron
http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-C...ttacks-Border-Police-officer-in-Hebron-426216
After attempted stabbing attacks in Jerusalem and Hebron earlier on Saturday morning, a Palestinian woman stabbed and lightly wounded a female Border Police officer in Hebron before noon.

The police officer was stabbed at the Ashmoret Yitzhak Border Police base and she suffered a cut to her hand. After being attacked she recovered quickly and shot the terrorist dead.

In both attacks earlier in the day the attackers were shot and killed and there were no others wounded.

Earlier in the day in Hebron the Israeli target of a knife attack shot and killed the terrorist. The Israeli was not wounded in the attempted attack.

The suspect in the first Hebron attack approached a checkpoint in the city and tried to stab one of the security forces. When this attempt failed, he came after an Israeli citizen who used his personal firearm and shot him three times. The citizen was visiting the city and was returning from prayers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs at the time of the attack.

No, they merely voted for the more honest broker to speak on their behalf. It does not mean they wanted war, and it does not mean you are entitled to hold them responsible for the actions of others.

So with your reasoning, we have no right complaining about our government ,especially you.

Because our majority voted for corruption.

Hmm, wonders if you had something bad to say about our government.

Do you think anyone is stupid enough to give Hamas cause to think that they're an Israeli collaborator?

Why not? Does freedom of expression and speech not exist there?
We should definitely assist them to spread their version of democracy then! As opposed to those pesky Israelis with their free speech, democracy, mixed population and other dreadful Western concepts.

Oh, and btw, the way you went right to collaborator instead if sympathizer says a lot. If you criticize Hamas, you are immediately a collaborator, not just someone critical of Hamas. You said it yourself.

Back-to-back stabbing attacks in West Bank wound police, soldier; Palestinian assailants shot
http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-C...Stabbing-attack-at-Kalandia-checkpoint-426237



Minutes after Hebron saw its third stabbing attack on Saturday, a Palestinian assailant stabbed and lightly wounded an Israeli security official at the Kalandia crossing in the West Bank, according to initial reports.

The suspected terrorist was shot and critically wounded at the scene.

Shortly before the attack at the Kalandia crossing, a suspected terrorist stabbed and moderately injured an IDF soldier at the Hasam Shoter checkpoint in Hebron.

Palestinian assailants have carried out five attempted stabbings against Israelis on Saturday. In addition to the latest attack at Kalandia, three stabbings occurred in the West Bank city of Hebron and one attack was carried out in Jerusalem

First two links from Google.

And I went right to "collaborator" because that's what Hamas accuses people of before it kills them. I have no idea whether or not the people killed were actually collaborators or not, but I'm pretty sure that no sane individual is going to spout off about Hamas while that kind of **** is going on.

So if you want to go to Gaza and call Hamas out, be my guest, I'll certainly commend you for your balls of steel. If not, stfu.

An investigation from Israeli rights group B'Tselem has meanwhile found that two Palestinians shot dead after alleged attacks, Fadi Alloun and Basel Sidr, "were shot while no longer posing danger."

While alive they will pose danger to eternity. They would do it again and again. That's what terrorists do!

Or the world can just let Israel go in and wipe them out. Unfortunately, Hamas likes to use the Palestinians as human shields. Tricky situation.
