Also me: the passage screenshot made my Times of Israel is wrong (they don't seem to speak Arabic nor to fact check things) but here is a link to the real news:

These books aren't out yet, but they would distribute them next semester

There's no problem with adding the October 7th history to the books... BUT not sure how I feel about the omission problem were civilians taken hostage are referred to as "settlers" 😐 😐

Because I initially searched for info and didn't find anything, then made the meme... and after posting it, I found an article on Roya News. I didn't want to be dishonest, but I didn't want to remove it either because it's clear that these people don't care to read or fact-check the crap they post. So, I edited the post and added the body. Could result in a good discussion, no?

Ah, didn't realize the body was an edit.

Yep, sorry!

PS: It reminded me of this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-blames-translation-error-for-claiming-calendar-in-children-s-hospital-was-list-of-hamas-hostage-guards/ar-AA1jVEoO

The Israeli military said a video that falsely claimed a basic calendar was a Hamas guard list was a “translation error” after several journalists and native speakers on social media pointed out that the written Arabic words on the calendar were only identifying the days of the week.

No disclaimers here, they actually pretended that Hamas fighter names were on that piece of paper, turns out it was a calendar.
