Indian Textbooks Celebrate Hitler
We're not experts, but if we were the Indian officials in charge of identifying and averting new threats to Israeli-Indian relations, we'd be doing a little better job keeping celebrations of Hitler out of our country's schoolbooks:
Israel is planning to protest a western Indian state's move to include references in school books that glorify Adolf Hitler, a news report said Friday. The Israeli Embassy is planning to communicate its displeasure to Gujarat state, appalled that the school textbooks "sing praises" of Hitler, the Indian Express reported.
Of all the disturbing aspects marking the current wave of global anti-Semitism, perhaps the most disturbing is that totally quotidian ways it keeps appearing – a few pages in a schoolbook here, a random dialogue in a television program there.
