#1 Great work again!!
But, is anyone vetting the school books? I seem to remember that some school books in Palestine are less than friendly toward America and Israel and anyone who does not believe EXACTLY as they do.

#2 . . . are less than friendly toward America and Israel and anyone who does not believe EXACTLY as they do.

Sadly, the same can be said about some texts here in the States. You'd be surprised what passes for "history" sometimes. Thank you cowardly school boards. . .

#3 Sam, yes they are vetting the schoolbooks. They haven't really had time to sort out the events from Gulf War I 'til now, so there is a big hole in Iraq's current history missing in the new books. But no more Hussein paeans and hopefully nothing anti-Western and/or anti-Semitic. The books have been slow to arrive because of the rewriting, but they will get distributed.
