JTA School textbooks in Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have been revised to refer to Jews and Christians as “infidels,” according to a new study.

During that time the United Nations Relief Works Agency or UNRWA, produced and provided the students with material that went way beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.
