Overview
- Palestinian Media Watch released a special report that compiles quotations, school posts, assemblies and classroom exercises it says celebrated the October 7 attack.
- The report includes verbatim recitations that praise the assault, a documented victory march by first–third graders at Azzun Boys Elementary School, and math problems framed around casualty counts and fighters.
- PMW names multiple PA-run schools whose official Facebook pages it says posted the material and presents examples of teachers writing praise and blessings for 'martyrs' in students’ notebooks.
- The authors argue the practices are institutional, single out the PA Ministry of Education and Fatah’s educational apparatus, and call for those officials to be removed and replaced under supervised international oversight.
- The articles publishing the report amplify PMW’s findings but do not provide independent verification or a response from the Palestinian Authority, leaving the claims unconfirmed.
