Recognizing the Holocaust is often seen by some Palestinians as tantamount to acknowledging Jewish land claims. (AP) 22 Mar -- The United Nations has launched a new plan to teach the Holocaust in Gaza schools, drawing fierce condemnation from Gaza's militant Hamas rulers, school teachers - and even the body tasked with peace negotiations with Israel. If implemented, it would be the first time most Palestinian children learn about Jewish suffering. But the outcry underscores how sensitive the issue is to Palestinians ... the need to find a sanctuary for hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors contributed to Israel's creation after World War II. In Israel's 1948 War of Independence, more than 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes. The Palestinians call this dispersal their Nakba, or catastrophe, and many see the events linked. [and when will Israel start teaching Jewish students about the Nakba?]
