a lot of the religious stuff is crap, period.<p>But I agree with the last bullet point: &quot;Include a map of the Middle East that labels Israel within its pre-1967 borders as &#x27;Palestine: occupied 1948&#x27;.&quot;<p>and I can sympathize for their narrative on &quot;The Issue of Palestine&quot;, excerpted here from the pdf:<p>Palestine is a part of the Islamic world. It is the location of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the
first of the two Qiblas. See Surah 30.
Ever since the Prophet&#x27;s ascent to heaven, Palestine has been dear to the Arabs in
particular and to Muslims in general. When Palestine fell under British rule, it gave the
Jews a chance to achieve their aims. Britain made it easy for them to flee there and laid
the groundwork for them to organize and train in the use of arms. The Palestinians tried
to resist the Jews and their allies. Their jihad almost succeeded, but the American government was biased
in favor of the Jews and pressured Britain to allow more than 100,000 Jews to enter
Palestine in a single year. The crimes Zionist gangs committed against Palestinian
residents caused many of them to flee to neighboring Arab countries.<p>&quot;The Jews Announce the Establishment of Their State&quot;<p>Britain withdrew from Palestine in 1367 (1948), opening the door to the establishment of
a Jewish state on Arab land in Palestine. And this is what the Jews did. They announced
the establishment of a state they called the &quot;state of Israel.&quot; Performing their duty, Arab
countries decided on military intervention to help the Palestinians. But circumstances in
the Arab world and elsewhere did not allow the Arabs to achieve victory over the Jews.
Most parts of Palestine came under Zionist rule. The Zionists then gained control over the
rest of Palestine, including Jerusalem, as a result of the 1387 war.<p>...and so on.  I might say the teachings in US textbooks on this subject should be equally or more concerning.
