All we need, really, is one picture celebrating those events.
Certainly you can find one image of insanely happy Israelis celebrating the destruction of their enemies' school.
It's emotional, yes, but it demonstrates the mind-set and shows who wanted that kind of thing to happen.
By the way, the idea of a school being destroyed is an emotional one. Because you think of a school as being kinda like the place where you went to school, right?
The international community has given billions for those schools. But by 2001, it was tired of them teaching nothing but hate.
Canada:
Quote:
"According to 58 new textbooks and two teachers' guides for grades 1, 2, 6, 7 and 11 published in the past two years by the Palestinian Authority," Mr. Kalman reports, "Israel does not exist -- nor does the concept of peace… Children are encouraged from the earliest school age to hate Israelis, glorify 'martyrs' and seek the 'liberation' of all of Palestine, including Israel.
"The analysis of the textbooks… reveals the Palestinian Authority… curriculum does not teach the acceptance of Israel's existence, and instead of working to erase hateful stereotypes, it is instilling them into the next generation's consciousness…"
Since 1993, Canada has contributed $165-million in direct aid to Palestinian development programs, including education, plus a further $10-million annually to United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA).
An additional grant of $5-million, announced by you in May, is about to be distributed through the World Bank to a series of projects, including new schools and libraries, the report states.
The offensive textbook material has been included despite commitments made by the Palestinian Authority in the 1994 Cairo Agreement, where both parties undertook to "ensure that their educational systems contribute to the peace between Israel and the Palestinian people."
...
A similar report a year ago on 360 textbooks used in Israeli schools found dozens of examples where Israeli children are taught to recognize Palestinian claims and problems, and where an effort is made "to prepare the younger generation for openness and peace.
"No (Israeli text-)book calls for violence or war. Many books express the yearning for peace between Israel and the Arab countries," said that report.

So, at the demand of the international community,
did they change?
Quote:
The new Palestinian School Books teach that the 1st Zionist Congress at Basel fostered the Zionist State based on a secret decision of what came came to be known as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". (p. 13) (Tarikh al-'Alam al-Hadith wal Mu-'asir (History of the News Modern World), 10th grade textbook, pp. 60-64).
The new Palestinian School books teach that the only ancient inhabitants of Israel were Arabs, ignoring any ancient Jewish presence. "Concentrated...in the land of Al-Sham {Greater Syria}...was the culture of the Canaanite and Aramaic peoples who migrated there from the Arab peninsula" (p.14-15) (Tarikh al-Hadarat al-Qadima (History of Ancient Civilizations), 5th grade textbook, Foreward).
The new Palestinian school books teach that Palestinians must use war and violence to accomplish their goals, especially martyrdom. (p.18) The heroic mother, "who incessantly presents one sacrifice [fida'] after another" (Lughatuna al-Jamila (Our Beautiful Language), Vol 2, 5th grade textbook, p. 31). The warrior goes to war faced with one of the good options: victory or martyrdom in battle for the sake of Allah. (Ibid. Vol. 1, 5th grade textbook, p. 70). (p.19) "Allah designated the people of this land (Al-Sham and Palestine) to an important task: they must stand on the forefront of the Muslim campaign against their enemies, and only if they fulfill their duy to their religion, nation, and land will they be rewarded as stated in the scriptures." (Al-Tarbiya al-Islamiyyah (Islamic Education), Vol 2, 10th grade textbook, p. 50).
The new Palestinian school books feature children with names such as Jihad (holy war) and Nidal (struggle). (p.22) (Tarikh al-Hadarat al-Qadima (History of Ancient Civilizations), 5th grade textbook, p.6).
