According to Palestinian Media Watch on Tuesday, the new children’s teaching program “Chicks” being aired on the official Palestinian Authority television station includes a segment showing the entire country of Israel covered by a map of “Palestine.” The phrase “Explore Your Country” is written in English and Arabic on the side of the map. Such a program is another effort by PA broadcasting authorities to delegitimize the State of Israel, said PMW director Itamar Marcus. “If you look at Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades; all of these terror groups use the exact maps as the PA. The only difference is the PA map doesn’t have rifles on it,” said Marcus. These maps “absolutely” represent a denial of Israel’s existence, he said.
