The report highlights the recent removal of anti-Israel narratives and the inclusion of Holocaust education, marking a significant step toward fostering a culture of tolerance in a Muslim-majority nation. Azerbaijan’s curriculum teaches respectfully about Judaism and the Jewish people, and it includes there are no signs of Islamism or radicalism. Notably, the textbooks provide students with insights into key Jewish historical events, such as the Dreyfus Affair and Jewish persecution in Tsarist Russia, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges faced by Jewish communities throughout history. The report serves as a compelling case study for other nations seeking to integrate diversity and tolerance into their educational systems, especially in regions with complex geopolitical contexts. This research underscores Azerbaijan’s encouraging approach to education and its broader implications for fostering coexistence and understanding elsewhere. By prioritizing inclusivity and historical accuracy, Azerbaijan sets a noteworthy example for promoting harmony through education.

]]> This special publication, produced in collaboration with INSS by IMPACT-se Head of Research Eldad Pardo and Research Associate Dr. Yonatan Negev, explores the portrayal of Jews and Israel in textbooks from Muslim and Arab countries across the Middle East, North Africa, Azerbaijan, and Indonesia. The depiction of Jews varies from negative stereotypes influenced by traditional and modern antisemitism, to occasional positive references acknowledging the respect given to the “Israelites” by the Prophet Muhammad. Israel is mostly portrayed negatively, especially in relation to the Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, there is little mention of the Holocaust or the history of indigenous Jews in the region. While textbooks might be free from anti-Jewish content but still contain anti-Israel material, the reverse is not seen. The study also finds that countries which deviate from promoting a moderate and inclusive educational vision tend to include more delegitimizing rhetoric against Jews and Israel. Conversely, those striving for curricula that emphasize peace and tolerance often reduce radical discourse against Jews and Israel.
