The Umariya Elementary School is a madrassa in Jerusalem's Old City. The 2010 opening stated that "former students at the school include Abu Nidal, the founder of a militant Fatah breakaway organization." Today the word militant occurs nowhere in the article, and the opening no longer mentions Abu Nidal at all. A reader today does not learn that the school's most notorious alumnus founded a militant Fatah breakaway organization.

The opening as it read in 2010
Umariya Elementary School is a prestigious madrassa in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem 's Old City .1 It is located at the start of the Via Dolorosa , and is adjacent to the Convent of the Sisters of Zion . Underneath the buildings of the school are a corner of the remains of the Antonia Fortress . In 1996, under the orders of the then prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu , an exit from the Western Wall Tunnel was blasted into the grounds of the School (specifically, under the school's entrance stairs). This action was interpreted by the Arabic populace as a land-grab, and over the subsequent few weeks, 80 people were killed as a result of riots [citation needed] against the creation of the exit.2Former students at the school include Abu Nidal , the founder of a militant Fatah breakaway organization.3Wikimedia Commons has media related to Umariya school . v t e v t e v t e 31°46′49″N 35°14′03″E  /  31.780325°N 35.234206°E  / 31.780325; 35.2342064
