Abstract:
Discusses antisemitism disseminated by PA-affiliated academics in the Palestinian media, especially in educational programs. The ancient history of the Middle East is revised with the aim of denying Israel's right to exist; this has been the explicitly-stated policy of the PA since 1998. PA historians, however, have been unable to invalidate the well-documented history of the Jews, and have therefore promoted the ideology of substitution, which associates Muslims and Arabs, not Jews, with the ancient Hebrews. Holocaust denial is another aspect of historical revisionism. The Jews are depicted as evil by nature, and Judaism as racist and evil. Many prominent theologians and members of the PA board for higher education have called for the massacre of Jews as a precondition for redemption, but most of the world chooses to ignore this teaching of hatred.
