UN schools in Jordan won't teach about the Holocaust

The Times of Israel (via Tablet) reports that anti-semitism is sanctioned in United Nations schools in Jordan:
Rumors of a UN decision to re-introduce Holocaust studies in schools run by UNRWA — the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees — have raised the ire of Jordanian teachers, who say they will refuse to teach history that “harms the Palestinian cause.” [...]There's another reason why they wouldn't want to: it could require that they acknowledge the Mufti's role in the Holocaust, and they don't want to do that. But it does offer a clue to just how repellant even Jordan's Islamic-based societal mindset really is.
Since 2009, Hamas in Gaza has actively opposed UNRWA’s attempts to introduce the Holocaust into school curriculum in Gaza, claiming that it contradicted Palestinian culture.
