RAMALLAH, November 3 (JMCC) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu's cabinet deliberated a draft that would measure anti-Israeli incitement in the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority including schoolbooks, institutionalized media and remarks made by senior Palestinian Authority officials.
