Al Fateh European Tour- May 2009 (pdf, 701
mb)
 IMPACT-SE
set out in May 2009 to present its findings on Al-Fateh,
the Hamas Web Magazine for Children in Belgium, France
and Spain. The object of the tour was to help stem the
growing trend in Europe calling for dialog and engagement
with Hamas, by raising awareness and demonstrating to
European parliamentarians and policymakers the true
nature of Hamas and its anti-Western, anti-Israeli and
anti-Semitic ideology, so that they take it into account
when considering changing official Quartet policy of
non-recognition and non-engagement vis-à-vis
Hamas.

Web Magazine for Children Incites to Terror, Annihilation
and Self-Destruction - Update May 2009
IMPACT-SE recently completed its report on Al-Fateh
(http://al-fateh.net),
the Hamas web magazine for Children, which serves as
its internet educational instrument, supports its ideology
and terrorist activities, and serves as a platform for
Hamas propaganda and indoctrination, especially of Palestinian,
and more generally, Arab and Muslim, children. Politically,

the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an
Islamic state in its stead....

The
Attitude to the "Other" and to Peace in Tunisian
School Textbooks:
A Preliminary Report - October 2008
IMPACT-SE has recently concluded a preliminary report
on the curriculum of Tunisia. The results are extraordinary:
following reforms of revolutionary proportions carried
out by the Ministry of Education, the Tunisian schoolbooks,
in stark contrast with most Middle Eastern curricula,
emphasize the importance of tolerance, peace and dialog
with the “other,” equality between all human
groups, openness toward the “other” and
its culture (that is, the West), use of religion for
universal rapprochement, and restriction of the ideals
of jihad and martyrdom to historical events. The full
report is due in mid 2009.
