The Jewish state has “a lot of work to do” in overcoming negative stereotypes Israelis have about Palestinians, said Israel’s minister of education. “Those stereotypes play a very, very negative role,” Yossi Sarid was quoted as saying in the Aug. 30 international edition of Newsweek. “This is my first task: to try and change the stereotypes. It’s not very easy. We are talking about programs of many, many years.”
