Wexler has handled thousands of Bankruptcy cases. MAIN OFFICE: WEST PALM BEACH, FL (561) 641-8020 part of lessons about the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UN Relief and Works Agency's Web site mentions general plans to include the Holocaust in lessons on the "historical context that gave rise to" that declaration. Abu Zayd said the UN-WRA field office in Gaza was still developing the curriculum, which would be presented to parents and others in the community before it is introduced. "It is very much a draft," she said.

But a UN employee involved in shaping the curriculum, who did not want to be identified, said that as recently as three months ago, the lessons had been under consideration for the 2009-10 human rights course. The Holocaust is not taught in UN-run schools for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. Nor is it taught in Palestinian government schools in the West Bank or Gaza. The backlash in Gaza has highlighted why. Holocaust denial is still ritory run by Palestinian moderates, said teaching Palestinian children about the Holocaust has to wait until there is a peace agreement with Israel.

"When Israel ends its occupation of our land and our people and gives us our right of independence and self-determination, then we discuss this issue with them," he said. Critics of the UN said the events of the Holocaust cannot be omitted from a human rights curriculum. "By disconnecting the Holocaust from human rights, (the agency) is highlighting the anti-Semitic bias that pervades the UN system," US. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Mi-ami, said in a statement.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a leading Jewish advocacy group and tracker of Nazi war criminals, called for the dismissal of Abu Zayd and Ging and demanded the U.S. and Canada suspend funding for the UN. agency which provides services for Palestinian refugees around the Mideast until the issue is sorted out. common in the Palestinian territories, with many apparently fearful that acknowledging the genocide would diminish recognition of their suffering or claims to an independent state. Such sentiments seem particularly strong among Gazans, who have had only limited access to the outside world since 2007, when Israel and Egypt imposed a border blockade in response to the violent Hamas takeover of the territory.

Palestinians complain that Israel refuses to recognize their hardship, including the expulsion and exile of hundreds of thousands during the war that followed Israel's creation in 1948, which Palestinians refer to as the naqba, or "catastrophe." Israel's education minister, Gideon Saar, decided this summer to delete references to naqba from textbooks for Arab third-graders in Israel, though he said teachers can discuss tragedies that befell the Palestinians. Jihad Zakarneh, the deputy education minister in the West Bank, the ter GAZA from 1A Gaza, caught between the territory's Hamas leaders some of them ardent Holocaust deniers and outraged Jewish groups. Some in Hamas accused the U.N. agency of trying to generate sympathy for Israel and conspiring against the Palestinians. In turn, Jewish activists demanded to know why the subject of the genocide wasn't part of the human rights syllabus in the first place.

"Now we are being bashed from all quarters," said John Ging, the agency's chief in Gaza. The controversy flared last week after an umbrella group for Palestinian refugees in Gaza protested what it said were plans to teach eighth-graders in UN. schools about the Holocaust. UN officials said they had no such intentions this school year and insisted they weren't scaling back in response to public pressure. Regional agency chief Karen Abu Zayd suggested that information about the Holocaust could be included in later years, as jobs extra Teachers questioned expense during insurance -switch fracas to get ahead.

JOB'S ft Career Guide Q.1 I have a friend who has been immensely successful in her career, but she has taken chances, or risks, that I wouldn't dream of taking. When she was offered a new job, and didn't really want to take it, she told her boss, and he gave her a raise and sent her flowers to convince her to stay and later promoted her. I'd have been afraid to do that for fear of being told to leave. When is it right to take chances, and when do you play it safe? Ans. Your friend was very lucky to get that response.

It's not wise to take a chance like that if you don't really want to leave, or in an economy like this one where you have less chance of finding a better job. And some experts believe you never have to take dramatic risks Jobs MEDICAL WRHSEDISTRIBUTION DRIVER, FT.

Critics said the FCC would never sign off on a deal allowing the district to essentially own something but have no financial responsibility for it. Murray Green of the Community Broadcast Foundation of Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, a group that has vied unsuccessfully to gain control of the stations, believes the school district bowed, in part, to negative public perception. Green's organization is planning to appeal again to Barry University, which now holds the station licenses, to take control.

lauragreenpbpost.com Alison Adler, the district staffer heading the WXEL negotiations, said the district's main interest in WXEL was three multicast channels it could use to broadcast its own programming, among other things. Johnson is particularly interested in finding a replacement for the district's The Education Network, which Comcast recently bumped to a cable channel some viewers don't get. But district administrators recognized they did not have the expertise to manage the main TV and radio stations and were negotiating with a Miami television station to take over day-to-day operations. Adler proposed a deal in which an outside manager would operate the stations WXEL from 1A about the change of plans. But Tuesday, school board member Frank Barbieri Jr.

said the deal is dead because the district needs money to plug a budget hole. Chief Financial Officer Mike Burke said Tuesday that $2.3 million of a $4.5 million reserve account that was going to be tapped for the WXEL purchase now would be used to offset unexpected salary costs. The school board will vote today on that shift as part of its final budget approval. "I'm glad that the administration decided not to move forward with it, for whatever reason," Barbieri said. "At a time when we're telling (employees) there's no money for increases in compensation, any additional benefits, classroom supplies, things they need, I think it sends a poor message to them that we're spending money on a television station that we don't need." The board had seemed poised to approve the purchase later this month.

At an August meeting, the board, with only Barbieri dissenting, authorized an $85,000 contract with a firm experienced in Federal Communications Commission regulations to negotiate the deal. But the teachers union and others said it was crazy in this economy for the district to buy stations that are losing money and have been on the market for five years. Employees voiced their anger over the potential purchase during an August public hearing on the district's plans to switch to a lower-cost health insurance plan. If the district had money to take over WXEL, why would the board need to save money on insurance, they asked.
