Kindergarten children pose holding maps of "Palestine" erasing Israel and keys of return

Image published in the official PA daily


The image shows a group of kindergarteners, some of whom are holding signs in the shape of the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel as “Palestine” together with the PA areas, with “Palestine” written on the map. Other children are holding signs with keys drawn on them or signs in the shape of keys with the words “The right of return” written on them, symbolizing the return of Palestinian refugees. Yet others are carrying Palestinian flags.
Two large signs are being held in the middle of the image, one reading: “Land Day March 30,” and the other: “Jerusalem is ours, the land is ours, [Allah] in His strength is with us.”

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.
