The facts of the attack as known are presented at a Web site I created at http://www.ariga.com/peacewatch/dy. Briefly, on April 9, 1948, the dissident Jewish Irgun and Lehi underground groups attacked the village of Deir Yassin, at the entrance to Jerusalem, though the village had had a defense pact with the Jewish agency. In the attack, four of the attackers and over a hundred villagers were killed, many of them women and children. According to an affidavit provided by an Irgun commander, about 80 prisoners were shot. A number of witnesses, Jewish and Arab, reported independently that a group of about 15 persons were taken to a quarry and shot. Me'ir Pail, a Palmach (Zionist underground) officer who spied on the attack, and two or three additional witnesses, reported women children and old men shot at close range. The Zionist executive apologized for this attack, which was done by forces not under its control. The Palestinians subsequently exacted revenge by killing about 80 Jews in a convoy to Hadassah hospital, and another 50 who had surrendered at Gush EtzionIf they let the Palestinians go back home they would not have that expense.In 2020, the European Union handed UNRWA some $157,059,235—that’s in addition to the $1.52 billion paid through the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) channeled through the PEGASE Direct Financial Support, the main E.U. financing instrument for Palestine, between 2017-2020, plus various other funds.
In addition to that, last year, Germany donated $210,384,339 to UNRWA (which has oversight of schools in the Palestinian territories), the U.K. donated $64,129,434, Sweden donated $60,420,012, France donated $22,986,067, Italy donated $17,714,100 and the list goes on.
With such vast sums flowing from Europe to the Palestinians, the Commission is coming under mounting pressure to prove that its funding is, as claimed, laying the groundwork for creating a viable independent Palestinian state that serves Palestine’s citizens. Education has been of particular concern, thanks to persistent evidence that the school system is being used to indoctrinate children.

Meanwhile, the P.A.—whose senior members have grown fabulously wealthy from all the funding poured into their coffers—is trapped between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, if they give in to demands to deliver a fit-for-purpose curriculum, the drive behind their Palestinian nationalist narrative will quickly falter, leading eventually to normalization with Israel and to their rule being toppled in favor of true moderate rule. On the other, if they brazen it out and have funding pulled, they risk an impoverished Palestinian population turning on them.
Either way, the true winners in both scenarios would be the children of Palestine, who might, at last, have a chance of receiving a reasonable education, setting them up for a prosperous life.

Pressure on Europe about Palestinian textbooks is working
The European Commission, whose commitment to the Palestinian cause is ideological, has nowhere to hide on the issue of the indoctrination of children in the P.A. to fear and hate Israelis.www.jns.org
