Haredi textbooks promote insularity

A new study of studies reveals what surely was no surprise:
Textbooks used in ultra-Orthodox schools in Israel promote the community’s insularity as well as peaceful conduct and coexistence, according to a study by an education watchdog.

The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education, or IMPACT-se, studied 93 textbooks used in grades 1 through 12 in the two major educational frameworks for Haredi schools.

The curricula of the Haredi Orthodox schools oppose modernity, and promote limited and unequal acceptance of others, according to the study.

Hatred of the Jewish people by the rest of the world is taught as a permanent historical reality, seen especially in how the Holocaust is taught. In addition, there is no extensive coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which tends to be included in lessons about how Jews are hated by the world at large. On the other hand, “Commitment to peaceful conduct which forms the foundation of rabbinical Judaism is evident throughout the curricula.”
One can only wonder if this means they don't teach about the righteous gentiles who aided Jewish refugees during WW2. As for the "conflict", why do I get the idea they negate even that part by opposing Jewish sovereignty over Judea/Samaria, in effect granting validity to anti-Israeli propaganda?
The textbooks also have almost no reference to culture among Mizrachi, or Sephardic ultra-Orthodox Jews, focusing instead on the Ashkenazi Haredi experience associated with Eastern Europe.

[...] The textbooks also depict women as remaining in the background and not being empowered, while also being required to earn the family’s livelihood.
While the husbands spend so much time studying without turning their questionable education into a positive extended example, and/or play the roles of Mr. Moms at home. And all this goes otherwise unchallenged by the education ministry. No wonder a whole generation is being failed.

And what "peaceful conduct" do they have with non-Haredis, depending on what clans we're talking about?
