“Azerbaijan has become the first Muslim-majority country to incorporate the fight against antisemitism into its school curriculum, adding educational materials such as the legal consequences of antisemitism, Holocaust education, and presenting Israel as a legitimate state,” reports the Telegram channel sepah_cyberi_iran, affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

A policy paper by the BESA think tank, which provided recommendations to the Trump administration on forming a trilateral alliance between Azerbaijan, Israel, and the U.S., stated: «According to recent report by the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se), a British nonprofit organization that analyzes schoolbooks and curricula around the world, Azerbaijan has become the first Muslim-majority country to include a definition of antisemitism in its textbooks. The report emphasized that Judaism is “highly regarded in the textbooks,” and the books also correctly portray the Holocaust as a genocide of six million Jews, highlighting antisemitic measures such as arbitrary killings and imprisonment rather than trying to downplay or deny the Nazis’ atrocities.»
