“This is a catastrophe,”  he said. “The government of the United States prohibits Palestinian Authority  incitement against Israel while it builds the infrastructure for continuing the  incitement.”
He said that a USAID official told him that the agency does  not examine the PA curriculum and does not check to see if any of the assistance  ends up in the hands of terrorists.” Bedein asserted, “They teach children about  ‘martyrdom', praise violent resistance and teach that the entire State of Israel  does not exist.”
The USAID program has pumped $2.4 billion into the  Palestinian Authority since 1994 for what it says are programs that “reduce  poverty, improve health and education, create jobs and advance democracy.” USAID  says it plans to invest another $153 million in 2010 for the development of PA  infrastructure in Judea and Samaria.
Congressmembers visiting Israel this  past summer were surprised to hear from Bedein about continuing incitement in PA  textbooks, despite its specific prohibition in the American Roadmap  plan.
As far back as six years ago, Bedein reported that the U.S.  government funded an Arab lobby group in Jerusalem that “trains media  professionals in the art of transforming the image of the Arab-Israeli struggle  into an Arab David against an Israeli Goliath.”
