[35] Even when I was in the International Baccalaureate (IB) History Higher-Level course, I was banned from taking the Middle Eastern history stream, as the teachers were scared the students would receive a “bad grade” if the Arab-Israeli topic came up on the exams, and our moderators were Jewish. Note, I was also never taught about the Arab-Israeli conflict in any other subjects, and was only enrolled in 'Jordanian history’ up until the fourth grade.

[36] Ironically, students like myself were taught more about European history such as the Tsar of Russia, Kaiser of Germany & the Third Reich, Queen Elizabeth I,  Mussolini, and the Cold War than we did about the Great Arab Revolt, British and French colonialism of the Arab world, and the history of Jordan.

[37] Massad’s particular wrinkle is to emphasize the colonial origins of national myth-building in Jordan.
