We reproduce below the latest update from Matthew Elliott, CEO of the Taxpayers' Alliance, on the Hate Education campaign.

As you can see, the TPA has made some great progress over the past few months. We were rewarded by President Obama emphasising the need to stop incitement, when he met German Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier this summer. He said:

"[The Palestinians] have to deal with incitement issues. It is clear that senior leaders in Western countries can wake up to the importance of this issue. We just need to make it clear that action is needed, and that Western taxpayers' money cannot continue to fund hate education that poisons the minds of young Palestinians and prolongs conflict in the Middle East."

Reflecting on the past year's work with the Taxpayers Alliance, I am really pleased to say that they have greatly exceeded their key objectives. Creating the European Coalition against Hate Education was a fantastic step forward. Taking the campaign to the US and hearing President Obama take this message on board was a tremendous bonus, which went way beyond what we had ever hoped to achieve within the timeframe.
