This article is one of the results of a doctoral research in Psychology and deals with discourses on Palestine in a history textbook from the Adventist educational network. Given that the issue of Palestine is quite distorted by the hegemonic narrative, inciting prejudices and stereotypes, the aim of this work was to analyze how the theme is addressed by the didactic narrative, considering its educational and social responsibility. The methodology used was bibliographical and documentary research based on a decolonial analytical perspective. The results show that the narrative downplays historical facts and silences various forms of violence suffered in the Palestinian territories due to the military occupation, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and colonialism, which amounts to symbolic erasure and epistemicide. We conclude that the narrative requires significant corrections in order to convey the reality of this context and enable students to have a more critical awareness of it.

Keywords : Palestine; Textbooks; Decoloniality..
