PA schoolbooks present maps of "Palestine" replacing Israel
Official PA TV program Topic of the Day, on staffing PA Ministry of Education positions, hosting Director of the Administration of Clerks Muhannad Abu Shama
Visual:
An outline of the PA map of “Palestine" that presents all of Israel as "Palestine" together with the PA areas from a Palestinian schoolbook is shown.
Text above map: “Palestinian cities”
Some city names are shown on the map, with one letter missing from each name; the assignment is for students to fill in the missing letter. On the right side of the page in descending order appear Jericho and Hebron. On the left side in descending order appear Acre, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Gaza. The locations of Gaza and Bethlehem have been switched.
Official PA TV host: “I present this map. I present it to the viewers, just for the sake of clarification. It was published on social media, and several people spoke about there being an error in the location of Bethlehem (i.e., shown where the city of Gaza should be) and Hebron (i.e., shown slightly to the north of its location).”
Director of the Administration of Clerks Muhannad Abu Shama: “He who does not do, does not err. As you know, when text is moved from program to program things move sometimes.”
