Hamas vs. UNRWA - on foreign trips for students...

Palestinian youth would be corrupted if they learnt about the holocaust..

Disputes between Hamas which rules the Gaza Strip and the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) again erupted on Saturday after the latter arranged trips to foreign countries for outstanding schoolchildren.

The Hamas-run department of Palestinian refugees' affairs said in a press statement on Saturday that it condemns the trips that the UNRWA arranges for Gaza schoolchildren to America, Europe and South Africa.

"These trips included taking the schoolchildren to the Jewish Holocaust in Europe," the Hamas statement said, adding "taking our children to places like the Jewish Holocaust and briefing them over the suffering of the Jewish people by the Nazi is corrupting the mentality of the Palestinian children."
