Gaza Strip schools fostered the depraved sensibility that fueled the Oct. 7, 2023, butchery perpetrated by Hamas terrorists in southern Israel. While Hamas exercised dictatorial authority over the whole of jihadi indoctrination in Gaza, the Palestinian Authority (PA) produced the textbooks and lesson plans, and the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), in significant measure, administered the schools. The defeat of jihadism in Gaza will not be complete without a fundamental reorientation of its educational system.
