1. Abu Mazen’s education system reflects his ideology/strategy, more than his dialogue with the West. Abu Mazen is the architect of PA education, shaping long term attitudes toward Israel and the Jewish People. It is the main manufacturing line of homicide bombers, a role model/reservoir for Islamic and international terrorism. (Feb. 9, 2006 analysis of 2004-2005 PA school textbooks was conducted by Israel’s “Center of Intelligence Legacy”.)
    

2. Abu Mazen’s education system idolizes martyrdom-homicide bombing (5^th grade Our Beautiful Language, pp. 31, 36, 70; 10^th grade Grammar, p. 30), denies Mideast roots of Judaism-Jewish People-Israel, repudiates Israel’s right to exist, fuels anti-Semitism and glorifies “the claim of return” (code name for Israel’s destruction).
    

3. Shaheeds (homicide bombers) “live next to Allah” (5^th grade Our Beautiful Language, p. 26) and their blood is pure (10^th grade Grammar, p.146 and Islamic Education – Part II, p. 48 and 5^th grade Our Beautiful Language, p. 32). A full chapter in 5^th grade Islamic Education glorifies Shaheeds, including the first female Shaheed and a mother of four Shaheeds (pp. 42-44). Supporting Shaheed families is a pinnacle of morality (5^th grade National Education, p. 16, 10^th grade Environmental and Health Sciences, p. 54). A religious war on Israel is revered (10^th grade Islamic Education – Part II, p. 50). A popular male’s name is Jihad (Holy War).
    

4. Israel’s establishment – in 1948 - is “the beginning of occupation” and the 1967 War is “continued occupation”. Pre-1967 Israeli towns are “illegal settlements” (10^th grade Modern World History, p. 64). The 1917 Balfour Declaration is damned (5^th grade Mathematics – Part II, p. 114, Our Beautiful Language, p. 57).
    

5. Israel does not exist, according to all PA maps and PA school textbooks, but in a disparaging manner. It is replaced by “Palestine” (5^th grade History of Ancient Cultures, p. 53; 10^th grade Modern World History, p. 86; 10^th grade Environmental Sciences, pp. 112, 114). Haifa is Palestinian (5^th grade Our Beautiful Language, p. 86), as are the Galilee and Nazareth (10^th grade Home Economy, pp. 36-37), the Lake of Galilee (5^th grade Physical Geography, p. 25) and the Mediterranean lies on the Palestinian coastline (ibid., p. 26).
    

6. The “Claim of Return” is the central theme, to be realized via Holy War at the expense of Israel’s existence (5^th grade Our Beautiful Language, p. 88).
    

7. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which spearheaded Soviet anti-Semitism – a best-seller in the PA and in Arab countries - has been integrated into Abu Mazen’s education system. The Protocols exposes the racist nature of Zionism and its plan to control the globe (10^th grade Modern World History, p. 63).
    

8. Jewish connection to Zion is denied, and the reference to Judaism is mostly derogatory. 5^th grade Muslim Education – Part II, pp. 46, 52, 54-55 claims that Moses and Aaron were sent by Allah, in order to convince Pharaoh to accept Islam!
    

9. Holocaust Denial is promoted by Modern World History, consistent with Abu Mazen’s Ph.D. thesis at Moscow University, (10^th grade Modern World History, p. 83).
