A British organization that tracks how taxpayers’ money is spent, has said that U.K. government funds are being used to finance anti-Israeli education by Palestinian authorities.

In a joint press conference in Jerusalem with Israeli deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalonin, the U.K. advocacy group, TaxPayersAlliance, said that Britain funds enter the Palestinian education system directly, and indirectly, through the European Union.

A report shows the education incites hatred against Israel. Matthew Sinclair, from TaxPayersAlliance said many textbooks printed by Palestinian authorities, still encourage armed struggle against Israel and encourage terrorist acts against the Jewish state.
