Quiz Israel out of existence - and win $50-$100!
PA TV quiz rewards Palestinians who deny Israel's existence
Answering that the Negev, Mount Meron in Safed, Caesarea
and the Hula Lake are "Palestinian" is worth $50
By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
On a quiz show on Palestinian Authority TV, Palestinians could win $50 - $100 if they denied Israel's existence. A reporter asked Palestinians in the streets to guess cities in "Palestine," locate places in "Palestine," or describe "Palestine's" borders. For each correct answer participants won $50. The purpose of these questions was to reinforce the PA message that it does not recognize Israel in any borders. Following are some examples, see more below:

The "correct" answers given by Palestinians of all ages, confirm that the PA's indoctrination of Palestinians from a young age to see all of the State of Israel as "occupied Palestine" has been successful. For two decades, Palestinian Media Watch has documented numerous examples of this PA policy to replace all of Israel with "Palestine" and deny Israel's right to exist.Palestinian kids have for example been taught by PA TV that "all of occupied Palestine is ours and will return to us one day":
At school, Palestinian kids study schoolbooks that only include maps that label the entire area of Israel together with the PA areas as "Palestine." This map in a PA schoolbook defined as the "geographical area" of the "state of Palestine," is covered in the Palestinian flag to indicate Palestinian sovereignty over the entire area.

The participants in the recent PA TV quiz have all grown up on TV shows and schoolbooks such as these - tools used to further the PA indoctrination to see all of Israel as "Palestine."
PMW has documented that PA TV has used similar quizzes in the past to promote the denial of Israel's existence to Palestinians. During Ramadan in 2016, PA TV likewise taught kids that Israel's Mount Meron is in "Palestine":
In 2013, denying Israel's existence was worth $100:

University students were tested on their knowledge of "Palestine's" borders and their inclination to deny the existence of Israel in a PA TV quiz in 2010. Correct answers presented "Palestine" and Syria as bordering Lebanon:
