TRUMP PEACE: Antisemitic Content Has Been Removed From Textbooks in Saudi Arabia

  3. UAE about 20 years also got rid of the anti Jewish stuff in their textbooks.

    So according to a UAE Professor of Sociology the older generation still is basically antisemitic in general but the younger generation is not in general.

    “According to the report, Israeli is still omitted from maps shown in textbooks and Zionism is still described as “racist.”

    Saudi students are falsely taught that “Zionists” deliberately tried to burn down Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969, a lie that was removed from Qatar’s curriculum. A Qur’an verse comparing Jews to “book-carrying donkeys” also remains, while students are taught that women are to blame for male sexual harassment.”
