Help Kill New Hampshire Education Bill Mentioning “Palestinian Genocide”

Help stop a New Hampshire Holocaust education bill promising to also prioritize “Palestinian genocide” studies

The Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN) has created a petition aimed at New Hampshire lawmakers, demanding that they remove language mentioning “Palestinian genocide” from House Bill 555-FN, a piece of legislation expanding Holocaust education mandates.

The language in question reads: “Such instruction shall include at least 5 hours of study to include, at minimum, instruction on the United Nations (UN) definition of genocide, the UN resolution on human rights, the Holocaust (and other Nazi committed genocides), the Armenian genocide, the Rwandan genocide, the genocide of indigenous peoples in the United States, and the Palestinian genocide.”

It goes without saying that this is unacceptable.

Also, beyond the bill’s endorsement of Muslim Brotherhood propaganda, references to the U.N. are of great concern in themselves. The United Nations is among the chief political entities accusing Israel of genocide in the first place. Reliance on U.N. materials or definitions — in light, especially, of its own disgusting record regarding the Rwandan genocide in particular — lends legitimacy to Israel’s defamers.
