Via the Counterterrorism Blog:
The Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli-based organization which examines Palestinian culture, today released an important new report on the content of textbooks introduced at the end of last year into the 12th grade in schools run by the Palestinian Authority. The books lie about the U.S., Israel, and the West in general, and brainwash the kids into believing that terrorist attacks against us are appropriate and meritorious. At a press conference today with PMW to announce the report, Sen. Hillary Clinton branded the textbooks as "indoctrination" and part of a campaign which "poisons minds" of Palestinian children against any tolerance of Israel and the West.
Read it all. I'm glad Hillary was there since the media hang on her every move, and this is a story that needs to be seen outside conservative and pro-Israel circles.
