From the JC:
Conservative and Labour parliamentarians have expressed anger that Palestinian children are being indoctrinated by school textbooks that teach them hatred in classes that are funded by British taxpayers.
The MP and Conservative Friends of Israel parliamentary chair Stephen Crabb [at] an online event on Thursday: “One of the examples that I have found most shocking is a maths textbook for six-year-olds.
“A maths exercise asks children to add the numbers of martyrs in the First Intifada to the number of martyrs in the Second Intifada. And this for me really shows how deep the problem goes – this normalisation of violence present right throughout the curriculum and this insidious messaging is extremely effective at manipulating young minds.
“I believe there is a direct link between this indoctrination and the participation of Palestinian minors in acts of violence against Israelis and we should be in no doubt that Palestinian incitement makes peace harder to achieve.”
“It was the UK government that lobbied international partners in the first instance to carry out the review into textbooks – and whilst we should give credit where it is due, the UK also then has a responsibility to ensure the review it being conducted properly.
“The UK is paying for teachers and public servants to draft and implement and to teach this material potentially in schools even named after terrorists.”
Elementary level maths: If one martyr gets 72 black-eyed virgins in paradise, how many virgins will five martyrs get?
Advanced level maths: A martyr in paradise is presented with 72 virgins. He can manage one per hour. Assuming that any virgin, after use, returns straight back to the virgin pool with virginity restored, and that the choice of virgin each time is random, what are the chances after 24 hours that the martyr will have had congress with a different virgin every time? After 48 hours?
