British taxpayers contributed 20 million pounds — the equivalent of a little more than $28 million in American currency — to teach children in school that jihad is one of the “most important” things one can do in life.
The money was used in schools run by the Palestinian Authority.
The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolreance in School Education reported the expenditure, which is mostly being used to pay for teachers who promote violence against Israel.

The Daily Mail has more:
A government minister has admitted that more than £20 million of British aid money is being spent on schools in Palestine that teach children about jihad and martyrdom.
A report by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education reveals that the Palestinian Authority school curriculum ‘utilizes a variety of tools to convince children—mostly boys—to risk their lives and die as martyrs’.
Alistair Burt, the aid minister, admitted in parliamentary answers that British taxpayers are funding the salaries of 33,000 teachers who follow the curriculum that also promotes violence against Israel.
The report also revealed that the word Israel ‘typically appears as the Zionist Occupation’ throughout the curriculum which has been accused of exerting pressure on young Palestinians to be martyrs.
It goes on to highlight some of the lessons that are being funded by British aid.
A science textbook Newton’s second law of physics by using an image of a boy with a slingshot targeting soldiers, to explain power, mass, and tensile strength.
It reads: ‘Palestinian youths used slingshots to confront the soldiers of the Zionist occupation and defend themselves from their treacherous bullets. What is the relationship between the elongation of the slingshot’s rubber and the tensile strength affecting it?’
Meanwhile, a maths book for nine-year-old students teaches them to count up and work out the number of Palestinian martyrs.
Another textbook encourages nine-year-olds to be martyrs with a picture of students looking at an empty desk with the sign ‘The Martyr’.
A poem in a history book also glorifies martyrdom and calls for violent resistance against Israel.
It reads: ‘I vow I shall sacrifice my blood to saturate the land of the generous and will remove the usurper from my country.’
It also teaches that the families of terrorists will be rewarded in paradise.
The shocking report concludes that radicalisation is ‘more pervasive across this new curriculum’ than the old one, which was also widely criticised.
The curriculum ‘exerts pressure over young Palestinians to acts of violence in a more extensive and sophisticated manner’.
According to the Times, minister Burt admitted ‘all of their schools in the West Bank are using the revised 2017 PA curriculum. UK-funded public servants and teachers … are therefore involved’.
Joan Ryan, chairwoman of Labour Friends of Israel, told the Times that the situation is ‘absolutely appalling’ as the curriculum promotes violence, terrorism and antisemitism.
She called on the government to suspend all aid to the Palestinian Authority to be suspended.
Two days ago, at least 17 Palestinians were killed and 1,400 were left hurt during one of the largest Palestinian demonstrations along the Israel-Gaza border in recent years.
The Department for International Development said: ‘Our support is helping around 25,000 young Palestinians go to school each year. The UK government strongly condemns all forms of violence and incitement to violence.’
Last year, Mail on Sunday investigation found that 24 schools were named after Palestinian terrorists. Also discovered was evidence of widespread encouragement of violence against Israel by teachers, with terrorists routinely held up as heroes for schoolchildren.
Pictures of ‘martyrs’ were posted on school walls, revolutionary slogans and symbols were painted on premises used by youngsters, sports events were named after teenage terrorists and children were encouraged to act out shooting Israeli soldiers in plays.
Head teachers openly admitted to flouting attempts by British and European donors to control the curriculum at schools. They revealed they printed overtly political study aids for pupils, some even denying the existence of Israel.

And I thought only the west was infected with alt-left teachers. But if this is happening why hasn’t the UK government stop sending funds? Could it be that Muslims within the government are letting it slip by?

The UK government of whatever complexion supports a two state “solution”, therefore they remain ignorant as to what the cause of unrest is. That helps to protect their faces Sing On.

Good, once the investigation is completed by a competent group of impartial investigators, absolutely everyone who was involved in the cover up and stifling of information must be put on trial, with every detail and name being clearly linked to the overall criminal disgrace. There should be an entire cell block filled with corrupt police teachers, civic employees, everyone one who contributed to this disgrace that england will never live down in a thousand years.

This issue or funding Islamic terror through foreign aid shows how beyond the voters control successive UK governments are, we have no power to stop them, what they’re doing that we the voters might not approve of the media by and large hide from us and whoever you vote for things go on much as before, only under socialism things get worse.
If we had a system based on the Swiss example of a referendum, democracy would be much better served, but the reasons you guys had to revolt in 1776 are still making us angry too, our state is far too powerful and refuses to “share”.

I understand that the problem could have something to do with the difference between ‘citizens’ and ‘subjects’ – one has rights and the other potentially has none. I think Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand etc. the people are ‘subjects’ (potentially no rights) and in the US people are citizens (and as such they have rights).

Do they have lap dancing classes for the young boys (but not girls)?

Belly dancing lessons … and pole dancing. No tap dancing allowed under sharia. OH heck … I misread .. “lap dancing”. That has a prerequisite of two semesters of pole dancing.

No. private audition necessary. Just the normal male moslem homosexual orgy. You know, the buns up ‘n kneeling … shakin’ it for all it’s worth … five times a day at the mosk.

A better lesson would be to ask, ‘using Newton’s law of physics, how many filthy palestinians can fit in a John Deere cement mixer at one time, using standard ratios.’

Stupid in the extreme.
Historians of the future will be speechless over the seeming suicidal trajectory of the looney leftists. Unfortunately those of us who are diametrically opposed to this stupidity will have to suffer the results along with the guilty.
