Palestinian Authority (PA) schools are educating students with the message that "Palestine" should replace all of Israel, effectively denying Israel's right to exist, according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW). This ideology is reportedly instilled daily through slogans and visual representations of a map of "Palestine" that encompasses and erases the entire state of Israel.
Examples cited in the report originate from schools in Birzeit, published by its Directorate of Education, an entity operating under the PA Ministry of Education, on the occasion of "Palestinian Flag Day." One sign displayed a map of "Palestine" in the colors of the Palestinian flag, covering all of Israel and erasing it, with the caption "Free Palestine" and "Palestinian Flag Day." Another image showed a child holding a sign with a map of "Palestine" that erased Israel, captioned "Palestine: Peace to the land created for peace, but which never knew peace." A child was also seen holding a sign with the word "Returning," alluding to the return of all Palestinian "refugees" to Israel.
PMW asserts that the call to "liberate Palestine," which implies the erasure and destruction of Israel, originates from the highest levels of the PA and its Ministry of Education. The report references a previous publication by the ministry showing a map of "Palestine" erasing Israel alongside the English caption "Free Palestine" from another school event. These examples, according to PMW, are characteristic of PA schools, aiming to educate the next generation to seek Israel's destruction. PMW has documented for decades the PA's use of maps that completely erase Israel, thereby denying its sovereignty within any borders.
