NY Education Commissioner under fire over 'egregious distortions of history' in exam questions about Israel
Fox News
Two questions on a recent New York Regents standardized exam have upset Jewish leaders due to how they gave "false choices" to questions about Israeli history.
One question, referencing the 1947 map, asked which event most influenced the development of the UN Partition Plan, offering the choices of Russian pogroms, the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Paris Peace Plan, and the Holocaust. According to the Post, the intended answer was the Holocaust. Ronn Blitzer is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics and breaking news.
The next question asks who benefited the most from the maps' changes over time, with the correct answer reportedly being intended as "Zionists and Jewish Immigrants." among choices that also included the government of Jordan, Palestinian nationalists, and citizens of Lebanon.
