Since the brutal Hamas massacres of Israelis on October 7, the atrocities have been celebrated by at least 11 West Bank schools, including eight run by the Palestinian Authority, according to a watchdog’s new report.
The schools “are openly and publicly celebrating the horrors of the October 7 massacre,” says the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), adding that “this follows years of hate-teaching in PA schools.”
“The international community heavily funds PA education sector civil servants responsible for curriculum development and the operation of schools,” it says.
In one example, the Ya’bad Secondary Boys School told parents it would be closed on October 18 “out of respect for the pure blood of our martyrs, and to denounce the massacres made by the cowardly Nazi Occupation.” The letter also said: “God punish the Jews and those who support them.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
