EU commissioner supports suspending funding to Palestinian Authority due to antisemitism in textbooks

An EU commissioner has backed calls to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority pending the removal of antisemitism from its textbooks. 

Oliver Varhelyi, the European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, expressed his support for the suspension following the passage of a resolution by the European Parliament. The resolution demands the suspension of aid to the Palestinian Authority for educational purposes until antisemitic rhetoric is removed from its textbooks.

According to Impact-se, an NGO which monitors educational resources used by Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the PA distributes study cards accusing Jews of being “in control of global events through financial power,” and sets assignments instructing children to describe Israeli soldiers as “Satan’s aides”.

Mr Varhelyi said: “Education for the next generation that supports peace, tolerance, coexistence and non-violence is a shared interest…We remain committed to deliver through constructive engagement with the Palestinian Authority, while reserving the right to take appropriate measures as necessary.”
