From: David Cumin

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

A recent IMPACT-SE report shows continued hate and incitement in Palestinian Authority textbooks (https://www.impact-se.org/wp-content/upl...).

These textbooks, as you know, are used by UNRWA schools and have been for decades. You fund UNRWA and have not conditioned the funding against the use of those textbooks.

I am interested to know if you wilfully fund any other organisations that use material containing hate or that also glorify terror.

Please provide all documents over the past decade that refer to hateful or inciteful material used by other organisations you fund.

Thank you,
David
