UN Teacher Says She Was Threatened After Opposing Lessons She Claims Promoted Antisemitism

Palestinian teacher employed by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees says a school administrator threatened her after she challenged lessons she believed encouraged hatred of Jews and praised Hamas. The teacher, who has not been named for safety reasons, told a newspaper that an administrator threatened to cut her tongue.
