The Israeli branch of IMPACT-se, a research institute and policy analyzing textbooks from around the world, in a special report examined last year's Palestinian matriculation exam content based on new books that were supposed to be incitement-free against Jews or against Israel.

This is the first time that the PA matriculation exams have been investigated and made public. The study looked at UNESCO's international educational standards for the other, and analyzed 26 matriculation exams in a variety of subjects.

In 75% of the humanities tests, it was found that there was a radical content that promotes violence or incitement to violence and hatred of others, as taught in Palestinian education classrooms and preparation sites. No questions or material devoted to attempting to achieve a lasting peace with Israel were identified in the tests.

The report pointed to specific questions in Palestinian adulthood that promoted problematic messages. For example, in adulthood in geography, students were asked which countries share the Jordan River basin? Among the four answers given for selection were Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt and Iraq, when Israel's name was dropped.

In the Arabic language matriculation exam, questions were asked about the song "The Refugee's Will", which calls for an armed return to Israeli cities with "weapons in your hand" to liberate every Palestine. The Palestinian Ministry of Education website has also published auxiliary material for the study of the poem, which explains the meaning to the boys. "The poet states that liberation of the homeland can only be done through armed resistance," the explanation explains to students. "The phrase 'weapons in your hand' is a metaphor for jihad and resistance and 'the term' weapons in your hand 'signifies that what is taken by force can only be restored by force."

A question about the events of the "Arab Spring" in the history test claimed that the same demonstrations against the regimes in Arab countries were a Western-Zionist plot to undermine Arab unity.

In another open question, embedded in the history exam, students were asked to define the concept of "national identity." The correct answer, as formulated in the textbooks for the test, taught a distorted meaning of the concept; It presented no values ​​of vision of peace, reconciliation and cooperation between national neighbors.

Another example can be found in adulthood in Islamic education. The test included questions about jihad issues that are taught in textbooks in the Palestinian context and encourage students to participate in conflict and struggle as a religious duty. As an example, the test cited Moraviton's clashes with the Israeli police at the al-Aqsa Mosque - "a Jerusalem uprising has spread across Palestine like wildfire."

IMPACT-se CEO Marcus Scheff said after the findings that "Palestinian students undergo 12 years of radical education, starting from first grade when they are asked to learn the fifth letter in Arabic using the words Shahid and Hojum (attack), and finish in grade 10 "In with messages of radicalization and violent struggle."

VP Eric Agassi added: "The Palestinian matriculation exams require a process of learning and memorizing material that incites hatred, violence and struggle. No Palestinian student can pass the test without proficiency in hatred toward the other. "
