Description: This is the fifth in a series of reports by the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMIP) of thirty new Palestinian school textbooks. It reviews books for grades 5 and 10 that were published by the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Education in 2004 and introduced into the PA educational system in the 2004/5 school year. In the light of criteria followed by CMIP, this latest issue of PA textbooks does not meet international standards as far as the attitude to the "other" and to peace is concerned.
