Overview The Arab-Israeli conflict is not regarded by the Syrian textbooks as a struggle over territory between two legitimate parties. Nor is it considered a local conflict between two rival nations, Jews and Palestinian Arabs that could be solved through political and territorial compromises. Rather, the conflict is seen as a fateful struggle for existence between the entire Arab nation and a Jewish-Zionist entity that has established itself in the heart of the Arab homeland - at the expense of the Palestinian people - and has threatened the entire Arab nation ever since. The Arab-Israeli conflict, or the Palestinian problem - as it is often referred to, is thus depicted as the most serious challenge facing the Arab nation in modern times. To this, the Syrian textbooks add the religious element which presents the conflict as a struggle between Jews and Muslims over Palestine and Muslim holy places therein. Furthermore, the Syrian textbooks emphasize that the loss of Palestine in 1948 brought humiliation and disgrace upon all Arabs and Muslims, who experienced another similar blow in 1967. Such an unbearable situation of shame could and should be rectified only by war and revenge. The struggle against Israel is, then, a matter of honor. Finally, the reference to the Arab-Israeli conflict in Syrian textbooks is not occasional or marginal, but rather extensive and central, and at times even obsessive. Instilling this issue into the minds of young Syrians appears to be a major objective of the textbooks. 2. The Essence of the Conflict is Israel's Very Existence, not Its Borders ... ------------------------ Yahoo!
