PA TV reporter calls Israel “the alleged state”
Official PA TV News, on Land Day in Qalqilya
Official PA TV reporter: “Each year Land Day reveals our people’s hold on their lands that have been occupied by Israel since the establishment of the alleged state (i.e., Israel). The lands of the city of Qalqilya have been expropriated time after time, and also 30,000 dunams (i.e., approximately 7,400 acres) of its most fertile lands are isolated behind the annexation and expansion wall.”
Land Day – an annual commemoration of the general strike and demonstrations organized by Israeli Arab residents of the Galilee on March 30, 1976 to protest the Israeli government's decision to expropriate land in the Galilee for security and settlement purposes, which it later implemented. During the protests, demonstrators burnt tires, blocked roads, and threw rocks and firebombs. Six demonstrators were shot and killed by the Israeli army and police. Israeli Arabs and Palestinians consider Land Day a national day.
