UK Publisher Pulls Textbook Following Complaints of Anti-Israel Bias

British educational publisher Hodder Education has withdrawn a secondary-education textbook following complaints of anti-Israel bias.

According to Britain’s The JC newspaper, a report by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) said there was “misleading and confusing content” in the textbook, written by Steve Waugh and John Wright, and titled “Conflict in the Middle East 1945-95.”

Issues of concern included calling early 20th-century Jewish immigrants “settlers,” despite them entering legally and living on legally purchased land.

The source also refers to ancient Israel “Palestine,” which was not its name until the Roman conquered it in the first century BCE.

UKLFI stated it was informed by Hodder that the publisher had “decided to remove the book from sale and will reconsider its future” after UKLFI claimed that the book “frequently refers to Jewish terrorists when their actions were against military targets.”

“It is very important that children learning about this complex subject are taught in a balanced and accurate manner,” UKLFI director Caroline Turner told The JC. “We are pleased that another misleading and inaccurate school textbook, purporting to teach about Middle East history, is being withdrawn and reconsidered.”

This follows the withdrawal in February of another Hodder Education title, “Understanding History: Key Stage 3: Britain in the Wider World, Roman Times–Present,” which suggested that Israel may have been a “long-term cause” of the 9/11 attacks.

Shifting Geopolitical Landscape: Examining The ‘Abraham Accords’ Through A Biblical Lens

Because they are frequently mentioned in the news, it’s likely that many people are aware of the Abraham Accords and generally understand their purpose. However, if you were to ask the average person to elaborate on what it means to “normalize relations” with Israel, or what realistically takes place when a country becomes a signatory to the Accords, it’s doubtful that most would be able to confidently answer the question. So, what exactly do these agreements do, and why should we, as Christians, pay attention to them?

Vigilant To Protect: A Pastor’s Responsibility To Call Out False Teachers

I recently watched a minister online. He gave a scathing critique of those who dare call out purveyors of false doctrine. He said we should love our fellow Christians. Paradoxically, he criticized those who criticize others. He seemed intent on inoculating his followers — making them immune to charges of false doctrine against his friends and himself. In one sense, the attack seemed pious. Don’t criticize. Be loving. Be sweet. But Jesus ran the money changers out of the temple.

Political Division, Persecution, And War: How Bible Prophecy Changes Our Perspective On World Affairs

As history hurtles toward the Last Days, we find ourselves trying to navigate through an increasingly hostile world. Politics are dividing our country and even our churches. People are becoming more cold-hearted, selfish, and angry. We are experiencing a breakdown that feels irreversible. Our problems do not have simple solutions, but we can find guidance in Scripture.
