Israel Rejects Claim of "Unbiased" Study (Hillary's State Dep't Had a Big Hand In It) That Concluded Jew-Hate/Zionhass in Palestinian Text Books Is No Biggie and that When It Comes to By-the-Book Hatred, the Israelis are Just as Bad

Another "brilliant" effort by the idiot Obamatons:
Israel’s Education Ministry has rejected the findings of a State Department-funded study that determined Palestinian textbooks do not incite hatred against Israel and that both sides use textbooks to distort the national narrative
In a press release the Education Ministry said, “An evaluation, by professionals from the Education Ministry and from outside it, [shows...]that it is biased, unprofessional and profoundly unobjective.” 
The Education Ministry further stated: “The clear impression is that this is a ‘study’ the conclusions of which were known in advance, before any professional work was done, and certainly does not accurately reflect the reality. 
“The attempt to create a parallel between the Israeli and Palestinian educational systems is without any foundation whatsoever and has no basis in reality.” 
The study took several years and was carried out and overseen by a team of American, Israeli, Palestinian Arab and international education experts. It was commissioned by the Council of Religious Institutions of the Holy Land, a consortium of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian leaders in Israel, and received nearly $600,000 in funding from the U.S. State Department. 
The study examined 94 books from Palestinian school systems in Gaza and the West Bank, and 74 books from the Israeli secular and religious school systems. 
The results counter Israel’s longstanding claim that Palestinian Arab educational tools incite children towards hatred of the Jewish state. During his Israeli election campaign Yesh Atid’s Yair Lapid even made mention of the issue, saying it was one that would need to be addressed...
