Israeli Incitement Research Report: The Jordanian Curriculum Incites Against Jews

Translation by SadaNews - An Israeli research report claimed that the Jordanian curricula violate international standards for tolerance and peace by inciting hatred against Jews, despite the long-term peace agreement and diplomatic relations between the two sides.

According to the report issued by the center concerned with educational curriculum research, the Jordanian curricula portray Jews negatively, accusing them of lying, betrayal, and hostility towards Islam, and that these are traits inherent in Jewish identity.

According to the report's claims, which is primarily right-wing as translated by "SadaNews", the curricula exhibit anti-Semitism against Jews.

The report noted that a book dedicated for the twelfth grade discusses the Balfour Declaration, suggesting that this declaration was issued in response to the role of Jews in destroying the German economy and undermining society there during World War I.

The report claimed that the civics book for the tenth grade justifies the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, viewing it as an act in response to Israeli aggressions described as brutal.

Many textbooks also display maps that completely erase Israel and indicate that these are Palestinian territories, portraying Zionism as Western colonialism, with the peace agreement signed in 1994 seen as a coercive measure to curb Israel's ambitions in the region.

Jordanian textbooks show an interest in Christians as an integral part of Jordanian society.
