Even though the United Nations has suggested that Palestinian children be taught the truth about the Nazi Holocaust, spiritual leaders in Gaza vehemently oppose this and call such action as a hate crime.
How can the rest of the world take Palestinian claims of injustice seriously, when their leaders deny the Holocaust so irrationally? Perhaps they should apply their own teaching from the Koran:
“Adhere to truth, for truth leads to good deeds and good deeds leads him who does them to paradise. Falsehood is wickedness and wickedness leads to hell.”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- A Hamas spiritual leader on Monday called teaching Palestinian children about the Nazi murder of 6 million Jews a "war crime," rejecting a reported UN proposal to include the Holocaust in Gaza's school curriculum.
A senior Israeli official said such statements should make the West think twice about ending its boycott of Hamas, in place since the group seized Gaza by force in 2007.
Hamas spiritual leader Younis al-Astal lashed out after hearing that the UN Relief and Works Agency, the main UN body aiding Palestinian refugees, planned to introduce lessons about the Holocaust to Gaza students.
Adding the Holocaust to the curriculum would amount to "marketing a lie and spreading it," al-Astal wrote in a statement.
