Has the government gone mad?

Filed under: Middle East

The Education Ministry has authorized Arab schools to use a history book featuring the establishment of the State of Israel as being disastrous (Nabka) for the Palestinians, Israel Radio reported Sunday. Read more about it here

It is not only that the current Israeli government is weak, it seems they are stupid too!

Ruth says:

This is an exaggeration. The authorized school book does not present the establishment of the State of Israel as a catasrtophe.

This is the sentence in question: "The Arabs called the war 'nakba,' a war of disaster and loss, while the Jews call it 'the War of Independence.'"

Ruth as you can see the piece I quoted was published by Ynet news. And I do not see what you complain about - it is clear that the birth of Israel while appraised by the Jews is called a catastrophe by the Palestinians. The essence is the same as in the JPost.
