"Educators" in Gaza have some hard and fast ideas about education ... it must not be taught!
The Holocaust - according to Hamas - is "a lie made up by the Zionists" which "contradicts and is against our culture, our principles, our traditions, values, heritage and religion" and "harms our history and civilization as well as our people's culture." Really.
Furthermore the teaching of the Holocaust to Palestinian kids represents "a kind of normalization with Israel and an attempt to bridge the psychological gap between Israel and the Palestinians" and went so far as to characterize the possible introduction of the subject into Gaza schools as a "war crime." Yeah ... they actually said that, too.
It is hard to imagine a people as fucked up as these "educators."
P/S - UNRWA denied it had plans to include the Holocaust in their curriculum.
Allah forbid!
Protesting what it said were plans to teach eighth-graders in U.N. schools about the Holocaust, the Hamas-affiliated Popular Committee of Palestinian refugees sent an open letter to the chief of UNRWA offices calling the Holocaust "a lie made up by the Zionists"...
The interior ministry of the Hamas de facto government in Gaza expressed astonishment over the UNRWA curriculum's acknowledgement of the Holocaust." "We reject teaching our pupils such thoughts that contradicts with our Palestinian beliefs,"
The head of Hamas' education committee in Gaza, Abdul Rahman el-Jamal, said that the Holocaust was a "big lie."
Hamas spiritual leader Yunis al-Astal said teaching children about the Nazi genocide of Jews would be "marketing a lie", and characterized the possible introduction of the subject into Gaza schools as a "war crime."
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that Hamas rejects any attempt to introduce the Holocaust into the curriculum as "a kind of normalization with Israel and an attempt to bridge the psychological gap between Israel and the Palestinians.
Jamila al-Shanti, a Hamas legislative official, said: "Talk about the Holocaust and the execution of the Jews contradicts and is against our culture, our principles, our traditions, values, heritage and religion."
Mustafa al-Sawwaf, editor of the Hamas-run newspaper Filastin, said the U.N. "should also be prevented from implementing this destructive policy that harms our history and civilization as well as our people's culture."
