Yet the money just keeps pouring in. By Jonny Paul for the Jerusalem Post (thanks to Sr. Soph):
British taxpayers are funding hate education and violence in the Middle East, according to a new report published by a British NGO over the weekend.
In the first of a series of papers analyzing the effectiveness of Britain’s overseas aid, the Tax Payers Alliance (TPA), which lobbies for lower taxes and better government, has published a report looking at the effects of British aid spending in the Palestinian territories.
“Funding Hate Education” reveals disturbing evidence on the millions of pounds of British tax revenue has been funneled into hate education and promoting violence in the Middle East.
Some of the money is even being used to fund school textbooks that teach children in Palestine to worship violence and hate all non-Muslims.
“With moves towards a peace settlement at Annapolis and an American presidential visit to Israel, there is real hope that a peace deal can be reached,” said Matthew Sinclair, author of the report and policy analyst at the TPA. “In order for a deal to stick over the long term, however, it is essential that the Palestinian population fully accepts it. This is why it is particularly concerning that British aid is supporting the radicalization of the Palestinian population, particularly the children.”
Indeed.
