PA portrays all Israel as “Palestine,” yet again
PA portrays all Israel as "Palestine," yet again
Abbas' Security Forces' persistent indoctrination:
"Palestine" includes Jaffa, Acre, Ramle, Mount Carmel,
the Galilee, and the Sea of Galilee
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Abbas' Palestinian National Security Forces continue to indoctrinate Palestinians to view all of Israel as "Palestine" in its "Look at Palestine" series. In recent posts, Jaffa, Safed, Acre, Tiberias, Nazareth, Haifa, the Upper Galilee and Mount Gilboa have been presented on its official Facebook page as "Palestine," as Palestinian Media Watch has exposed in different reports.
The new posts present more of Israel as "Palestine": Ramle, Mount Carmel, the Arch Cave in the Galilee and the Sea of Galilee:
