RUTHFULLY YOURS

The US Administration is trying to reassure Congress that foreign aid to the
Palestinian Authority (PA) is a key to peaceful coexistence with Israel.

However, a current study of Abu Mazen’s and Salam Fayyad’s school text books
– conducted by veterans of Israel’s Intelligence community – reaffirms that
the $4 billion US foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority has been
counter-productive. It has not inclined Palestinians towards peaceful
coexistence, and it has not moderated Palestinian terrorism.  In fact, since
the 1994 inception of foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian
terrorism has escalated, Palestinian non-compliance has become pervasive and
support of peace among Palestinians has ebbed.

The study reconfirms that Palestinian school text books lay the groundwork
for the next wave of Palestinian terrorism (Intifada); encourage Palestinian
mothers to dedicate their children to suicide-bombing (“martyrdom”); idolize
Jihad (“holy war”), bloodshed and families of suicide-bombers; promote the
Palestinization of pre-1967 Israel as the overriding national goal; define
Israel’s establishment as an immoral and illegitimate act to be rescinded;
eliminate any reference to Jewish roots within pre-1967 Israel; are devoid
of any reference to peaceful coexistence; are consistent with the PLO’s
Palestinian Covenant which calls for the annihilation of Israel;
delegitimize the existence – and not just the size – of the Jewish State;
and cement the state of mind of the Palestinian society.

For example, “Our Beautiful Language” (7th grade, part 2, pp. 11-13): “We
shall sow Palestine with [martyrs’] skeletons and skulls; we shall paint the
face of Palestine with blood, but Palestine shall wash our face with
heavenly water….”  “Our Beautiful Language” (7th grade, part 1,pp 28-29):
“We are returning home to the plains and the mountains [of pre-1967 Israel],
led by Jihad flags, by bloody struggles and by the willingness to sacrifice
ourselves as martyrs….”  “Islam” (8th grade, p. 46):  The relevance to
contemporary reality of historic Islamic conquests, including the 7th
century victory over the Jewish tribe, Banu Qunaika, which was “slaughtered,
raped and imprisoned.”  “Our Beautiful Language” (8th grade, part 1): “Our
beloved Palestine is calling me; the orphaned cities [in pre-1967 Israel]
yearn for me to return and rectify the [1948] blunder with storms and
lightning….” “Islamic Studies” (8th grade, part 2 pp 62-75): “Jihad
reserves a key role for youngsters, just like those who sought martyrdom
during the days of the Prophet Muhammed….”

Over $4 billion of US taxpayers’ money has been transferred to the
Palestinian Authority, which has transformed its systems of Abu
Mazen-controlled education, media and mosques into manufacturing lines of
hatred, incitement, terrorism and suicide-bombing.

Thus, while it is illegal for Congress to appropriate funds to
hate-education in the USA, Congress has annually funded Abu Mazen’s
hate-education.

In 1994, Arafat assigned his loyal confidant of 50 years, Abu Mazen to
establish the Palestinian hate-education system. Since January 2005 – upon
replacing Arafat, and irrespective of his moderate style – Abu Mazen has
perpetuated the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and anti-US hate-education.

Inspired by his holocaust denial Ph.D. from Moscow University, the Abu Mazen
system has promoted Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and the Soviet anti-Semitic “The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, which are best-sellers in the PA.

Thanks to foreign aid, Abu Mazen and Salam Fayyad authorize monthly
allowances to families of “martyrs”/terrorists. They pay condolences visits
to families of suicide bombers and name soccer tournaments, summer camps,
streets and squares after notorious terrorists.

Abu Mazen’s and Fayyad’s educational legacy – and not their dialogue with
Israeli and Western leaders and journalists – reflects most authentically
their identity, ideology, strategy and vision.

Sustaining foreign aid to the PA would convince Abu Mazen that he can get
away with hate-education and even be rewarded for it.

However, suspending foreign aid would express Congressional conviction that
hate-education on the one hand and peace and democracy on the other hand
constitute an outrageous oxymoron.
