Song and dance broadcast on PA TV, with lyrics depicting all of Israel as part of "my country Palestine"

Official Palestinian Authority TV  |

Turn to Safed, and then to Tiberias,
and send regards to the sea of Acre and Haifa.

Don't forget Nazareth, the Arab fortress,
and tell Beit Shean about its people's return.

O flying bird, circling around

By Allah, O traveling [bird], I burn with envy.
My country Palestine is beautiful...

Go to Jenin and bring me from its valley
greetings to Nablus, Tulkarem and their soil.

Drink the water of Jaffa's port,

don't forget Ramle and Ramallah.

O flying bird, circling around

By Allah, O traveling [bird], I burn with envy.
My country Palestine is beautiful.

The full lyrics misrepresent the following Israeli cities
as in “Palestine”:
  Safed, Tiberias, Acre, Haifa, Nazareth, Beit Shean, Jaffa,
  Ramle, Be'er Sheva.

and Palestinian cities:
