Why shouldn't it? Most Arab countries still publish "the Protocols of the Elders of Zion", a highly racist and patently false book first published in Russia in the late 1800's to incite hatred of the Jews. Not to mention all of the anti-Jewish television shows and movies being produced and shown around the Arab world. The books that you are referencing show both the Israeli and Palestinian versions of the refugees from the 1948 war. These are Israeli schools, not Palestinian schools which have enough anti-Jewish garbage in their books. And just for the heck of it, why aren't you including in your argument the ethnic cleansing of 800,000 Jews from Arab countries between 1948 and 1952. It would seem that "Justice 4 All" doesn't appear in your agenda when it comes to Israel and the Jews. When the Arabs become tolerant, well intentioned and moral people, you will be able to expect Israel to add the Palestinian viewpoint back into their books. Until that time, expect the Arabs to continue to practice the "do as I say, not as I do" rule of thumb. BTW, I have seen several of the Arab publications of "The Protocol of the Elders of Zion" and several of their movies. It makes me sick to think how perverted and twisted the Arabs are in their hatred. Give me one good reason why Israel should be held to a higher standard than the Arabs. But then why shouldn't they be held to a higher standard considering the Muslim culture which practices gender apartheid and hasn't given anything of value to the world in 600 years.
