Report: PA Schools Held Assemblies Glorifying Oct. 7 Massacre

Palestinian Media Watch is reporting that at least 11 Palestinian Authority schools in the West Bank held assemblies celebrating Hamas's October 7 massacre of Israelis. According to the watchdog group's findings, one ceremony featured a young girl describing the terrorist attack as a "beautiful dream," telling an audience, "We woke up to the sounds of laughter... It is a beautiful dream that we never want to wake up from." The report documents readings and posters at these schools glorifying the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Critics say the findings expose how PA-run education is being used to indoctrinate children into celebrating violence against Israelis rather than pursuing peace. Palestinian Media Watch has long tracked incitement in PA textbooks and state media, and this latest report adds to a pattern of findings documenting institutionalized glorification of terrorism within the Palestinian education system.
