Hamas, UNRWA and the Holocaust

I've seen interviews with grade school children in Gaza that all say the are taught to hate Jews in school.

There is a movement in the US that doesn't want to "upset" children by teaching them about it. Another theory, you have to teach both sides of all stories, so allow holocaust deniers a chance

Nothing from either Hamas or Beijing would surprise me.

I know it is presently pre-occupied with trying to destroy Israel (it has never made that a secret); and I don't think Israel's understandable response is right; yet I wonder when Hamas and their supporters will say anything about China's pogrom against the Uyghurs. After all, these are fellow Muslims but are no threat to anyone, yet are under attack from a powerful government intent on destroying their culture simply for being the Muslim, Uyghur culture.

Indeed, it was Western journalists based in a nominally-Christian, highly-ecumenical and politically secular, "Western" nation who first revealed that to the world. Not the Iranians or Saudis.

To be fair to Hamas, if that's possible, what's happening to the Moslems in China seems not noticed by Iran or Saudi Arabia either. I would add Pakistan and Afghanistan but as next-door neighbours to China's stolen lands of Tibet, they've stronger reasons not to upset the delicate little souls in Beijing.

All five countries' rulers are not only despots, they probably also have no love for the country called Israel, or the Jews, at all. Yet what love can there be between anti-religious China, the four vicious theocracies and the utterly inhumane Hamas? Even Saudi Arabia and Iran are not good friends. Their only thing in common is despising "The West" and its values, and they see Israel as part of "The West", perhaps due to being friends with their common enemy, the USA.

They are as bad as each other.


It took me a while to work out what Hamas is trying to achieve, if Beijing reported it accurately; as it might have done here, even if selectively. I think that by playing Devil's Advocate, trying to see it from Hamas' and China's perspective.

I decided that essentially, Hamas wants no-one to have any sympathy for the Jews, no-one to understand them and their history; no-one to understand why the nation called "Israel" was carved out of Palestine (which it was, by the League of Nations, as a sort of recompense to the massacre the post-WW2 Jews themselves named 'The Holocaust'). It wants everyone to see the Jews only as enemies.

A position no doubt suiting Xi Jinping and his cronies, whom we won't mention all the while showing their own utter contempt for the Islamic culture within a very remote region of China. Just as their predecessors showed utter contempt for the Tibetan, mainly-Buddhist, culture.

A dirty business all round.
Who wins? No-one - at least, not in any sensible, constructive ways.
Who loses? All those Jews, Arabs and Christians who simply want to live in peace amongst each other.

Public education is a sort of double edge sword. I grew up in a system that taught me why the commies were bad while some kid in Russia grew up learning why I was. Then we used other people to kill each other to prove why neither of us was right! Confusing...? Yeah, I thought so too!

How is it that these kinds of posts about Palestine always bring out the crazies? Never fails. The same thing happens when people criticize Trump. You get a whole pack of the MAGA crowd hurling insults and using foul language. Never fails.

So good to expose the truth of an agency that follows the nihilistHamas ethos or gives tacit endorsement, well, even electricity to their terror tunnels.

Hamas rewrites a lot of history. It's Orwellian.

well regardless of curriculum many lives would have been saved if Israel hadn't made sure none were left standing.

When Israel bombs a school is that their way of telling the world about the Holocaust?

Or are they simply telling themselves why the holocaust has DESTROYED Judaism entirely?

UNRWA has become a leading spokesperson for HAMAS. And the UN is a joke. It could not bring itself to call HAMAS a terrorist organisation. What is the point of the UN and longer?!

And now UNRWA is in serious trouble after those allegations that some of their workers took part in October 7th.

Now we know that many are card carrying Hamas members, even participated in the slaughter of people in October!

Imagine making the Holocaust a matter of "belief," when there's all this physical evidence that is right there.

This may easily be the stupidest thing I've ever seen

Jihad Zakarneh, the deputy education minister in the West Bank, said teaching Palestinian children about the Holocaust has to wait until there is a peace agreement with Israel.

Nothing can interfere with the leftist narrative, however.

Interesting research, Helen

Astonishing!

This sounds like something which is coming out of Harvard.

So showing that ALL Palestinians are TERRORISTS in the making

@BritishFailedAesthetic, if you would direct your attention to this post, please?

And people wonder why we want to outlaw religion.
