“Analysis: Iranian state textbooks incite terrorism,” David Andrew Weinburg, FDD’s Long War Journal, March 5, 2021.  “United States Government has routinely identified Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, going back to the 1980s and across successive American administrations.  Furthermore, Tehran’s efforts to export its revolution are widely known, as are its shameless promotion of antisemitic propaganda, such as cartoon contests to encourage Holocaust denial. But comparatively little attention has been paid to Iran’s incitement of hatred, extremism, and terrorism in its official government textbooks.  Whereas credible and comprehensive studies of incitement in the Saudi state curriculum have been published each one of the last five years, for example, the last such expert study of the Iranian curriculum was only published in 2016. For this reason, ADL (Anti-Defamation League) just published a new monograph that surveys Iran’s official textbooks from the 2020-21 school year, the full text of which is downloadable here from ADL’s website.”
