celebrates joining international Scout Movement

Israel
PA TV quiz
erases all of Israel,
tells kids
"Palestine" is 27,000 sq. km.
though West Bank and Gaza
together
are
only 6,220 sq. km.
"Palestine" is "from the [Mediterranean]
Sea
to the [Jordan] River"

The Palestinian
Authority continues unabated to teach its youth that Israel does not exist and
that all of Israel's land is part of "Palestine."
To celebrate that the World Organization of the Scout
Movement in February this year recognized "Palestine" as a full member, PA
Chairman Abbas sponsored an event for the Palestinian Scout Association at which
senior PA officials handed out plaques of honor decorated with the PA map of
"Palestine" which presents all of Israel as "Palestine".
Giving
out the plaques were Jibril
Rajoub, Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central
Committee and Head of the Supreme Council for Sport and Youth Affairs and
Laila
Ghannam, District Governor of Ramallah.
Palestinian Media
Watch has documented that both of them as
policy deny Israel's right to exist, support terror and glorify
terrorists.
The same denial of
Israel's existence was taught to young children on the PA TV program The Best Home, which
is entertaining kids daily during the Ramadan. In a quiz, the TV host asked a
boy who called in to the program what is "the size of Palestine". The host and
the puppet Ramzi taught that "the size of Palestine is 27,000 sq. km." However,
the combined area of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is only 6,220 sq. km. Only
by adding the area of the State of Israel, excluding the Golan Heights, does the
area of "Palestine" reach 27,000 sq. km:
PA TV host:
"What is the size of Palestine?" Puppet Ramzi: "Oooooooh,
Palestine is big..." PA TV host to boy on phone: "Amir, are
you with me? Amir left. Don't be scared, the question is very
easy..." PA TV host: "Well then, children, my friends, the
size of Palestine is 27,000 sq. km." Puppet Ramzi: "I know,
27,000 sq. km." PA TV host: "You know? Bravo!"

welcome from wherever you are watching us throughout Palestine, from the
[Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River."
