An analysis by IMPACT-se found that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency did not implement United Nations-recommended reforms on antisemitism and violent extremism in its educational textbooks. The review identified an eighth-grade Arabic language textbook that includes reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary exercises praising the slashing of Israelis' throats and glorifying suicide bombings.
Background on the Review The United Nations had previously recommended changes to address violent speech and antisemitism in agency materials. The IMPACT-se analysis concluded that those changes were not made. Palestinian employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency have previously protested agency decisions on staffing and funding.
