Hamas Demands Removal of Holocaust Lessons from UN Schools - UN Mulls

I expect that if Hamas fails in banning the lessons of the Holocaust from UN run schools, then they will merely adapt the failure of Hitler's plans to extol Islam's planned elimination of Israel and show how they can now succeed.

It is all so vile, but not what is obvious. Evil will always exist. Nazis will always exist in one form of another. Nazis were not the historical exception; what was exceptional was the speed at which they murdered millions. This century's nazis wear the keffiyah and slaughter in the name of allah. So be it. What is vile is that good men and women fund and support these annihilators. What business do we have funding so corrupt and debased a racketeering organization as the UN? It has completely abandoned its charter, so why haven't we completely abandoned the UN? It has become the international legislative arm of Islamic jihad.

The UN is asking Hamas if the holocaust should be taught? I am speechless.

The head of its education committee in Gaza, Abdul Rahman el-Jamal, told the BBC that the Holocaust was a "big lie".

He said that to teach it would be to "grant a big favour" to Israel, which has been fighting Hamas for years.

The UN, which runs most Gazan schools, recently asked local groups whether the Holocaust should be taught.

It uses local textbooks and, in Gaza, that means using material from neighbouring Egypt, the BBC's Tim Franks reports.

But over the past seven years the UN has added its own coursework about human rights.

Mr Jamal told the BBC that the UN should, instead, teach about the Naqba, the term Palestinians use to describe the establishment of the state of Israel and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees.

A spokesman for the UN said that no final decision on this year's curriculum had yet been made. Some 200,000 children are taught in schools run through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
