How strong is the state education system in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank?

This website is Israeli, which means it's 100% biased. Some of the Arabs in Gaza or West Bank may not be educated enough about world history to know about the holocaust. Ironically, Jews are taking Arabs homes, land, killing people and more. So in the Arab's eyes Jews are worse than Hitler.

ZB, that made completely no sense. And it's not a matter of the Arabs not believing the holocaust happened; it's just that they believe it was planned for and agreed upon by the elite Jews. An initiation of a plan that would start with sympathy and, therefore, end with support from the world for their occupation of Palestine.

Despite the usual riff raft such as Michael claiming this is "Israeli propoganda", the fact is that the elected Goverment in Gaza, namely Hamas, have Holocaust denial as part of their official policy. This is not Israeli bias, or misreporting. It is contained within the Hamas charter which is available to the public that the Holocaust did not happen. Hamas has officially made statements denying the Holocaust. Hamas has been explicit in its Holocaust Denial. In reaction to the Stockholm conference on the Jewish Holocaust, held in late January 2000, Hamas issued a press release which it published on its official website, containing the following statements from a senior leader: "This conference bears a clear Zionist goal, aimed at forging history by hiding the truth about the so-called Holocaust, which is an alleged and invented story with no basis. (...) The invention of these grand illusions of an alleged crime that never occurred, ignoring the millions of dead European victims of Nazism during the war, clearly reveals the racist Zionist face, which believes in the superiority of the Jewish race over the rest of the nations. (...) By these methods, the Jews in the world flout scientific methods of research whenever that research contradicts their racist interests." In an open letter to Gaza Strip UNRWA chief John Ging published August 20, 2009, the movement's Popular Committees for Refugees called the Holocaust "a lie invented by the Zionists," adding that the group refused to let Gazan children study about it. Hamas leader Younis al-Astal continued by saying that having the Holocaust included in the UNRWA curriculum for Gaza students amounted to "marketing a lie and spreading it." Al-Astal continued "I do not exaggerate when I say this issue is a war crime, because of how it serves the Zionist colonizers and deals with their hypocrisy and lies. This was reported in many newspapers, not just Israeli. Here is where it was printed in Reuters which is an international news agency http://reuters.com/article/idUSTRE57T1JW20090830?irpc=932 The guardian which is a UK paper reported this too http://guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/28/hamas-un-holocaust-lessons-gaza?cat=world&type=article So it is not just Israeli newspapers that reported about Hamas not wanting the Holocaust to be taught. Of course Michael with his multiple accounts will thumb me down for this. But I am writing the truth with references. To people like him though the truth is not important, the only thig that is imortantance for him is slandering Israel. Even if there is a question on the lords of eggs in Israel he will use it as an excuse to slander Israel.

The Palestinian leadership wants to deny any Jewish rights to the Land of Israel. They fear that the Holocaust may provide justification for the Jewish presence in Israel. By denying the Holocaust, they think they are denying Jewish legitimacy in Israel. That is, also, what is taught in their school system. Hence, the results you indicate. Professor Dumblewh0re: How does it make no sense? Oh, I get it. It doesn't correspond with your fantasy view of history. That makes sense.

Apparently denying it somehow strengthens the Palestinian cause. I never truly got that. I mean, I understand they pin the founding of Israel on that event, but even if it were fake it changes nothing. Also, it demonizes Jews (and thus many Israelis) to fit the idea that they control the world and are playing off sympathy, but honestly I think that they sometimes think that they believe such because others tell them and they don't question it.
