## Pointing to Normalization, Saudi Arabia Quietly Scrubs Antisemitism, Anti-Israel Rhetoric From Curriculum

Authored by algemeiner.com

The curriculum no longer teaches that Zionism is a “racist” European movement, nor denies the historical Jewish millenia-old presence in the region, the report said.

“Antisemitism has pretty much been eradicated, and there was a great deal of it before — it was pretty much a feature of the Saudi curriculum,” IMPACT-se CEO Marcus Sheff told The Algemeiner.

In the past, Jews were referred to in Saudi textbooks as “devil-worshiping monkeys and pigs.”.

“We’ve seen an elimination of violent jihadi ideas and homophobia and an increase in critical thinking and teaching,” he added.

But according to Sheff, the curriculum overhaul was less about near-term policies and part of a much longer-term societal shift in attitudes and norms.

“The curriculum is an expression of the identities and the vision that the leadership wants to pass down to future generations.

Analysts see the textbook revisions as an incremental step that could lay the groundwork for Saudi Arabia warming relations with Israel, especially under Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s push to de-emphasize religion and promote a more secular Saudi nationalism. »
