Books about Israel and Zionism for Schools and Libraries
There has been a concerted effort to introduce books about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Zionism into schools and libraries that tug on the heart strings in an attempt to encourage them to promote “cultural diversity, understanding, and inclusivity” by showcasing the “Palestinian experience” (from Jihad article below).
Many teachers and librarians are at a loss as to how to respond to these propaganda attacks.
