And the Knesset report finds that some of these textbooks are in use in East Jerusalem schools that are administered and funded by Israel. "Melchior: Raise PA textbooks with Abbas," by Haviv Rettig for the Jerusalem Post:
"You can't have agreements while this kind of hatred is inculcated in the children," Knesset Education Committee Chairman Michael Melchior (Labor-Meimad) said on Tuesday after seeing new 12th-grade textbooks published by the Palestinian Authority late last year.
"I intend to demand from Prime Minister [Ehud Olmert] that he present the findings [of a new report on the textbooks] to Abu Mazen [PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] at their next meeting," Melchior said.
Melchior's statements at the Knesset followed the presentation of Palestinian Media Watch saying that Palestinian 12th grade textbooks teach that hating Israel and pursuing its destruction are religious duties.
PMW director Itamar Marcus told the Education Committee it was the first time the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been depicted in Palestinian schoolbooks as a religious, rather than a territorial, conflict.
"According to these books," Marcus told the MKs, "the war over this land is a war for Muslim land, and will end only with the resurrection of the dead." The books teach that "recognition of Israel is forbidden by religion," he said.
Committee members promised to pressure international donors, particularly Belgium, whose contributions receive specific mention in the textbooks, to suspend their aid as long as such incitement continues in PA textbooks.
According to the report, the schoolbooks, the products of the official education arm of the PA, written by Fatah-appointed officials at the Center for Developing the Palestinian Curricula and published by the PA Ministry of Higher Education, are also used by schools in east Jerusalem that are under the jurisdiction of - and receive funding from - Israel's Education Ministry.
Shlomo Alon, deputy head of the Pedagogic Secretariat in the Education Ministry, told the lawmakers the ministry would investigate whether the books were distributed in east Jerusalem schools and would cut funding for schools found using them.
According to Melchior, the report's findings indicate a trend from "a conflict over land, which can be resolved by partition, to an existential religious conflict that cannot be resolved."
MK Zeev Elkin (Kadima) called on the government to put in place "sanctions against the PA for such violations [of the Oslo Accords]," which he called "more dangerous than security violations in the long run."

Can it be not just the Saudis and the Ford, MacArthur and Rockefeller Foundations are joined now by certain minority sects in Judea advocating the same violence jihad, Mexican Mazatlan and Hamas are advocating in overthrowing standing nations.
But who would benefit beyond the neo Syrian Philistines, that is the riddle of why the books were allowed and printed.

Well, let me see. Seems that there are at least three or four direct orders in the Qu'ran to destroy the enemies of Islam, and they specifically call out the Jews and Christians. So how is this new? Because it is in a high school civics or history text? From the Islamic point of view, this is a normal religious commandment. What should we expect of Hamas when we see them dressing five year olds a suicide bombers??

How more blantant can the Palestinians be in their quest for Israel's destruction, and how more blind can the EU become? Israel needs to do what is best for them, and forget what the EU,UN thinks, as they dont give a damm about Israel!

Maybe Israel can send Abbas some more money, you know, up the jizya ante, and them ask him, nicely of course, to recognize Israel's right to exist.

Pharaoh called for the destruction of the Jews...
Hitler called for the destruction of the Jews...
Now the Palestinians call for the destruction of the Jews...
We know how these fanatics full of hatred will end. They certainly will not succeed.
They are doomed, but are too stupid or too blind to take a lesson from history.

What was always there, what was never absent, what was only very thinly disguised, is apparently now out in the open so that only those who are desperate not to see it, that is only the governments of virtually every Western European nation, beginning with Norway, as well as the great majority of countries represented in the General Assembly, and of course such journalists as Robert Fisk, or for that matter Nicholas Kristof (a recent entry, who for a while in his heart-on-his-sleeve anguish over Darfur gave promise of possibly beginning to figure out Arab Islam, but he's retreated into quite a flurry of consistent Carter-worship-and-Israel-bashing), could ever have thought otherwise.
When "PMW director Itamar Marcus told the Education Committee it was the first time the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been depicted in Palestinian schoolbooks as a religious, rather than a territorial, conflict" surely he knew that this territorial/religious conflict distinction makes no sense. The "religion" or, better, belief-system of Islam, is, when it comes to the duty of Jihad toward Infidels, a central and not tangential duty that is owed by every Believer, the "territorial" is "religious" for that "religion" is all about land, all about all the lands in this world that belongs to Allah, and where, in every land, "Islam is to dominate and is not to be dominated."
I am sure that Itamar Marcus knows that. But perhaps he was playing slightly dumb just to get others to see what he, of course, must know perfectly.

Shocking, just shocking that a muslim would have such writings in their textbooks. Of course it would never never be found in the koran.
Last day heard a relatively intelligent westerner say that no one could read the koran because it was in arabic and had to be interpreted.

read the Penguin edition in english.
Then dont be surprised when you see it the hate therein contained reprinted in the childrens' texts.
Such monumental and crucial ignorance. Especially in Israel that can ill afford it.
Let's hope they dump that fool Olmert before the next go round this summer.

By the way, isn't it a religious duty? Aren't Muslims required to spread Islam until it everywhere dominates? And isn't any nation under Infidel control illegitimate? And isn't it true that this is a matter of highest priority in the case of lands that were once under Muslim rule, no matter how long or short that rule may have been?
Why not admit the following:
1) Yes, the destruction of Israel, or rather the goal of replacing a Jewish state with a state where "Islam dominates and Muslims rule" is a religious duty.
2) Yes, it is also a religious duty to do the same with Sicily, and Spain and Portugal, and Greece, and the Balkans (Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia), and it is also the case with Rumania, and Bulgaria, and much of Hungary, and much of southern Russia even outside the Caucasus. Yes, indeed.
3) Yes, it is also a religious duty of Muslims to recontrol all of Kashmir, and almost all of India.
4)Yes, t is a religious duty of Muslims to throw off Infidel rule wherever it may be imposed on Muslims, as in the lands of southern Thailand (an illegitimate, because Infidel, nation), in the Moro islands of the southern Philippines, and in many other places, including Ethiopia (where Muslims are quickly outbreeding the Christians).
5) Yes, it is a religious duty for Muslims to work tirelessly to convert Infidels -- to cause them to "revert" -- to Islam, and to use whatever it takes, whatever wiles and smiles and misinformation may be necessary, to get them to utter the Shehada and so be in, like Flynn, but never ever out, like anybody.
6) Yes, it is a religiuos duty for Muslims to work not only through campaigns of Da'wa, not only through deliberately overbreeding, in the Dar al-Islam (and then sending excess population to what are still the Lands of the Infidels, and thereby over time, to swamp them), and also in the Dar al-Harb.
7) Yes, it is a religious duty to ensure that in the end the whole world faces the same fate as Israel has been facing in its own attempts to defend itself, for the entire history of its tiny existence, that is a situation where Muslims will try, and try again, to overcome all resistance to the demands and claims of Islam.
8) Becuase, you see, it is only right, it is only just, it is the way that has been set by Allah. And Allah knows best: "Islam is to dominate and is not to be dominated."
Don't you dare question Allah, and don't you dare question Muslims, and don't you dare question Islam.

Currently Maher Arar and his wife are trying to Sue the USA for what Syria and CAIR-canada did to them , CAIR-Can coaches Mr.Arar to avoid helping the RCMP filter out possible terror cells
from a Ottawa Mosque which produce Ahmed Ressam the Millenium bomber that tried to slaughter thousands at the LAX Airport .
Syria still had charges against Arar since he was a Draft-Dodger that fled to Canada before mandatory service by the State , Arar also failed to renouce his Citizenship for Syria once he got his Canadian Passport to Globe-Trot in the Middle East that he fled from.
While most Canadians and the MSM have fallen for the SCAM by CAIR and the Arar's to "Allege"
torture to Maher outside of canada and yet Sue Canadians and get $12'000'000.00 dollars Tax-Free , I have followed the case and here's evidence that the Arar's were Hamas-Friendly and
overtly anti-Israel ( code word for Jew Bashers) .
http://www.canpalnet-ottawa.org/2344WIB.html
Take note of the date because it's part of a pattern to wage Jihad against the west for the Financial-Terrorism aspect to get money through the Courts and by-pass Terror Funding Laws , and below is a Document from the www.maherarar.ca website to prove that when his 2003 Law Suit against Jordan failed he turned his Wrath on Canada in 2004 .
Arar's law Suit is in three parts which total
$31'000'000.00 dollars and puts the FULL BLAME for his Plight on Jordanian Kidnappers and the people that drove him acrross the Border to Syria , at no point in the Document does he mention the USA other than being denied entry
at JFK when he deplaned a Flight by himself from Tunisia .
http://www.maherarar.ca/cms/images/uploads/ararclaim_syria_final_Nov21.pdf
Please don't get screwed like Canada did when CAIR tried to blame their own Anti-West policies of coaching Muslims to not report Terror-cells or inform on other Muslims planning Terrorism as being Canada's fault, the Out-Of-Court settlement to shut him up was not a Admission to Guilt by Canada nor a assertion to innocense for the Arar's.
While some Media reports won't give Monia Mozigh
Bio beyond 2002 , I have read articles claiming she moved to Canada from Tunisia where she was born and raised , BUT, I also read more credible sources that claimed she was a Palestinian Refugee to canada that met Maher Arar while at University and married in 1997 .
This is a Orthodox Muslim that wears the Hijab and has taken a Pro-Hamas stance by her failure to denouce suicide bombers and attend Anti-Israel
rallies that distort Historical facts about the failures for wars against Israel that added to the Plight of the refugees that the Arab States didn't want in their Country and were stuck in Palestine to blame "The Joooooos" .
Arar's 2003 law Suit failed and in 2004 he suckered in the NDP to back his claims of Racial-profiling by CAIR/CAIR-can and get money by Suing canada and the USA .
If CAIR does insist the Arar's are innocent and have NO ties to Radical Islamists and Jihadists , then why was Monia so supportive of Hamas's "Justice and Peace" against the Occupiers
which really means the USA and the Joooos.
The MSM in Canada is slowly allowing comment
about the Global Warming Swindle movie from the UK , so keep in mind how PC it is up here in Canada and how the CRTC can take away a License
if enough yahoos complain about being offended.

Oops, here's the Palestine/Hamas article
that ties the Arar's to being hamas-friendly
and overtly anti-Israel and USA.
Bonnie and Clyde just can't figure out why they are still on a No-Fly list for entering the USA, but this is very odd since CAIR-Can just threatened Canada to force the USA to let all Muslims freely enter the USA from canada, or post a Boycott Notice to hurt Tourism by Muslims who visit the USA.
This Boycott by CAIR-Canada will be enforced via Ibrahim Hooper because his thugs and goons will merely assume Muslim-Canadians found in the USA are Apostates that ignored the Islamic fatwa to stay in canada.

Ottawa, Canada - March 19, 2006)
The Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) today called on Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay to contact the Secretary of U.S. Homeland Security Michael Chertoff to request the cessation of religious and racial profiling of Canadian Muslims and Arabs by U.S. border authorities.
Alternatively, CAIR-CAN recommends that the Department of Foreign Affairs issue a travel advisory warning Canadian Muslims to avoid travelling to the United States.
"Our government must act to ensure that Canadians are not profiled, barred entry and indiscriminately added to American no-fly lists. The livelihood and future of Canadian citizens cannot be halted without just cause.
"If American officials allege some citizens are a danger to national security, this information should be handed over to Canada so they can be tried in a Canadian court. Otherwise, as in the case of Maher Arar, our government has to pursue all diplomatic efforts to purge damaging notes on innocent Canadian travellers.
"If the government cannot ensure that innocent travellers are given safe passage through the American border, it must issue a travel advisory warning Canadians of Arab and Muslim origin against entering the United States," said Karl Nickner, Executive Director of CAIR-CAN.

CONTACT: Sameer Zuberi, CAIR-CAN Communications Coordinator at 613.795.2012, or
Karl Nickner, CAIR-CAN Executive Director at 613.254.9704 or 613.853.4111.
**************************************
Wait a minute... so does CAIR want us to report Muslim criminals and have them stand Trial in canada, or are they saying the Criminals must be free to leave Canada and plot Terrorism acts once in the USA after crossing the border.
Has Canada become Lebanon and CAIR is supporting Hezbollah like tactics to hide here while waging war on American Civilians via border raids or sneaking bombs in the uSA like Ahmed Ressam tried?.
Just once I'd like to here Hooper blame the 9/11 hijackers for this mess , he acts like the distrust for Islam and Muslims was formed in a vacuum and not real-life terrorism by Muslims for Allah.

Hugh, the Muslims believe that Australia also belonged to Islam once and will again... perhaps because they feel that the Indonesians used to fish in australian waters, and perhaps they landed here,, but wouldnt that have been well before Islam came to Indonesia...
Thus because of our politicians blindness we could well become another muslim country, if our governments dont wake up.
With our left wing party they like to bring in people who will vote for the left.
The left wing are trying to destroy the right winged government before the elections at the end of the year, with their lies and distortions ..
Australians say that we would never allow it, but they allowed the left winged government to swamp Australia with people from all over the world and now we have big problems of crime etc...It is hard enought for people who think alike to get along let alone people of totally different races with different gods...

Hey, let's send in Condi to cut a peacekeeping agreement with the Moslems to save Israel. Let's buy Moslem loyalty with yet more cash. Then they'll have the dough to buy some more Kayushas and print some more of those Madrassa children's books Then we'll see what happens.

Khaybar was stormed by Mohammed's squadron, fully armed, powerful, and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Moslem men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Mohammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.
--- Ishaq 516 (Ishaq is the author of the sacralized biography of Mohammed, Sirat Rasoul Allah)
Do you love Jews and their religion, you liver-hearted ass, and not Mohammad? Their religion will never march with ours. Jews make false professions about Islam. So Allah sent down: "Satan wishes to lead them astray."
--- Ishaq 245
We cannot accept the oaths of Jews. Their infidelity is so great they swear falsely.
--- Ishaq 524
