Emphasizing its refusal to co-exist with Israel or even recognize Israel, the Palestinian Authority continues to present all of Israel as "occupied Palestine." The PA National Security Forces, for example, repeatedly greets its Facebook followers with pictures of Israel and statements like:
"Good morning, this photo is from: occupied Jaffa" or "occupied Acre" or "occupied Palestine."

Palestinian Media Watch has documented that the PA and Fatah - both headed by Mahmoud Abbas - use all the means of communications they control to send the message that there is only room for one "Palestine" extending "from the river to the sea" and that all of Israel is "occupied" and will eventually "return" to the Palestinians.
Also, Palestinian school children are indoctrinated with the message that there is no Israel but only "Palestine." Young boys at the Al-Karameh First Elementary School for Boys in Jenin are met with this wall painting (above) of a map labeled "Palestine" that includes the PA areas and all of Israel. The Palestinian flag is flying from the center of the map, symbolizing future political sovereignty over what is now Israel. Next to the map is written: "On this land is something worth living for" (Song by Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian national poet) [Official PA TV, June 2, 2015]
The Al-Karameh School in Jenin is under the PA Ministry of Education.
