Israeli Incitement Exposed!

For a good laugh, take a look at this Arab News article about how Israeli textbooks incite hatred and violence against Arabs. The headline is our first clue that this is--or should be--something of a joke: "Israeli Textbooks Incite Anti-Arab Hatred, but So Very Subtly."

The article, about a new book that has revealed the depths of Israeli racism through studying Israeli textbooks, begins:

"To say that the Israeli media incite hatred against Arabs is an understatement, especially as Israeli press rarely misses [sic] an opportunity to publish daily reports about the terror the country is subjected to by the Palestinians."

Now, imagine that--The Israeli press rarely misses an opportunity to publish reports about the Palestinian terrorism the country is subjected to. Inciters!

But it gets better. According to the report:

"The Israeli books include stories about the early settlers like 'Jerusalem for me and you', 'I'm the discoverer of Jerusalem', [and] 'Homeland'." Wow, 'Jersualem for me and you'? The title clearly inspires hatred...

The only part in the whole article that seems to directly reference anything that could be termed incitement is the mention of "'City of Taparia', a selection of stories that shows the sacrifices made by the early Jewish generations 'despite a harsh climate and an environment full of the Arab embezzlers, killers, thieves and terrorists who cause insecurity in the holy land.'" Yet it appears that this quotation (about killers, theives, and terrorists) comes from the study of Israeli textbooks, not the textbook itself.

Meanwhile, the publisher plans to market the book worldwide due to the "interest of international readers to know about the Zionist plans of Israel." Yes, Israel's shocking Zionist plans have been exposed at last.

I don't know too much about what books they teach in Israeli schools, but neither do these folks, I would bet.
