The image shows a decorated lamp. On one side of the lamp are two Palestinian flags, a key symbolizing “the right of return” of the Palestinian refugees, and the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel as “Palestine” together with the PA areas.

On another side of the lamp is written “Jebus,” referring to a Canaanite name for Jerusalem.

Text on lamp: “Palestine

Jerusalem our capital”
