- Discussion Panel on "Iranian Textbooks: Preparing Iran’s Children for Global Jihad"
Hudson Institute, Washington, DC, March 10, 2008
As debates rage about Iran’s nuclear intentions, educational textbooks may serve as one of the more candid guides for discerning this regime’s worldview and ideology. IMPACT-SE researchers, Arnon Groiss and Shayan Arya, covered the Iranian report’s detailed findings and discussed the implications for the United States and the rest of the international community.

- "Attitudes toward Jews in schoolbooks issued by the PA Ministry of Endowments & Religious Affairs"
Briefing, Jerusalem, Jan. 8, 2008
Eradicating incitement from Palestinian schools has been a central theme in negotiations
since the Oslo accords. President Bush himself has demanded that educators "Teach
values and moral responsibility in schools." In light of President Bush's
visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, CMIP is hosting this briefing
to examine religious textbooks for 7th-12th grade students in the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip.

- "Palestinian
School Books: Educating New Generations in Hate and Jihad?"
By Dr. Arnon Groiss -
May 15, 2007
CMIP has monitored the seven-year process, examining the
attitude expressed in the books to the "other" and
to peace. The findings are extremely worrying: The PA textbooks
do not educate for peace with Israel. Rather, they promote
the ideal of a violent struggle for liberation against Israel
in its integrality.
