Palestinian schools teach: “Free Palestine” – erase Israel

Palestinian Authority schoolchildren are taught to "Free Palestine" and to have it replace all of Israel, since Israel has no right to exist and must be destroyed. This ideology is instilled in the minds of young Palestinians daily via slogans and visual representations of "Palestine" on a map that covers and erases the entire State of Israel.

The examples below are from schools in Birzeit, posted by the Directorate of Education Birzeit – part of the PA Ministry of Education – on the occasion of Palestinian Flag Day.

The call to "Free Palestine," and destroy Israel, comes directly from the top of the PA and its Ministry of Education. Last year, the ministry posted a photo from another school event with the PA map erasing Israel and the text "Free Palestine beside a Palestinian fist:"

These examples are typical of all Palestinian Authority schools, where the next generation is educated to seek Israel's destruction. For decades, Palestinian Media Watch has exposed the PA's use of its map of "Palestine" that completely erases Israel, thus denying Israel's sovereignty and right to exist within any borders.
