EU parliament passes resolution condemning hate speech in Palestinian textbooks
[IsraelTimes] Budget report calls for halt to funding for educational materials that incite religious radicalization, ’martyrdom among children’.

The European Parliament on Thursday passed a resolution condemning the Paleostinian Authority for continuing to include hate speech and violent material in school textbooks.

The resolution said the European Parliament, the legislative branch of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, "is concerned that problematic material in Paleostinian school textbooks has still not been removed and is concerned about the continued failure to act effectively against hate speech and violence in school textbooks."

It added an insistence that "salaries of teachers and education sector civil servants that are financed from [European] Union funds... be used for drafting and teaching curricula which reflects UNESCO standards of peace, tolerance, coexistence, and non-violence."

This parliamentary report, which was drafted in March, scrutinizes EU spending for the financial year 2018 and was drafted by Monika Hohlmeier, a German European People’s Party politician and member of the legislature’s budgetary control committee.

The report could have implications for how the EU allocates its budget going forward.

In a separate clause, which didn’t single out the Paleostinians, the resolution stressed the need to "guarantee that no Union funds... are used to finance textbooks and educational material which incite religious radicalisation, intolerance, ethnic violence and martyrdom among children."

The group said the EU transferred around 1 billion euros ($1.08 billion) to the Paleostinian education sector since September 2016.

EU officials said an upcoming report on Paleostinian school curriculum will remain classified, IMPACT-se said.

The European Parliament in April 2018 passed legislation geared to prevent hateful content in Paleostinian textbooks.

In October 2018 the parliament’s budgetary committee recommended freezing more than $17 million in aid to the Paleostinian Authority over incitement against Israel in its textbooks.

#4 The European parliament passes feel-good legislation, while on the ground their hired NGOs deliberately give euros to terror organizations for putatively humanitarian purposes.
