Palestine, anti-Semitism and school education.

EU working definition of anti-Semitism includes the following examples ''of the ways in which antisemitism manifests itself with regard to the State of Israel taking into account the overall context could include:
  • Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
  • Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.''

If you prepare to your history exams with AKAD book GS512 or any other book, please ask yourself the following questions.

1. Is there any particular blame over middle-east conflicts and 'problems in Palestine'? Who is blamed? Is this blame somehow emotionally charged? Or not?

2. Do you think your book doubts legal right of State of Israel to exist? Does it make a point that creation of Israel was wrong or doubtful?

3. What is written about right if Jewish people for self-determination? If anything.

4. Do you think connection of Jewish people to Palestine and Jewish history in is neglected?

5. Do you have a feel that terror against Israel is somehow rationalized in your book or not?

6. If you think that your school book is simply unbalanced, or fail some logic, what could be reason for it ?

7. Do you think it is good that your book is reviewed by other historians and experts in antisemitism?
