I was not surprised to discover that the curriculum for grades 6 through 9 concentrates on hasbara, just like in grades 10 through 12. The curriculum for grades 6 through 9 aspires to combine general and Jewish history. The Palestinians suddenly appear towards the end of the story, during the British Mandate period, as violent Arabs who revolted against the Jewish aliyah. Israeli public school students are not supposed to know that. In the school curricula, history is what happens with the Jews from the Hellenistic period up until Israel’s founding, and all the rest is irrelevant.
