PA television replaces all Israel with ‘Palestine’ on map

By ICEJ News

18 Mar 2010

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.
