Just one day before Mahmoud Abbas was scheduled to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, Palestinian Authority (PA) television chose to broadcast an interview with a Tunisian saying that the war against Israel must continue “until it will be expelled from Palestine and not a single Israeli will remain in Palestine.” [emphasis added]

The French president should be aware of Mahmoud Abbas’ true ideology and goals, as Abbas tells his own people.

Abbas routinely tells Macron that he wants “to live side-by-side in peace and security with Israel,” but the PA internal narrative is clear about destroying Israel.

The destruction of Israel is so central to the PA’s ideology that it constitutes the focus of how the PA educates its children, as Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) exposed in its report, Teaching Terror To Tots. PMW’s report shows how crucial this goal is to the PA and how the PA rewrites history to justify the destruction of Israel.

Here are a few examples from the PA/Fatah’s Waed magazine, for children ages 6-15, in which Israelis are repeatedly presented as a foreign invader destined to be destroyed [emphasis added]:

“The Canaanite Arabs settled the land of Palestine … Palestine underwent dozens of invasions … Babylonians, the Persians, the Samaritans, the Assyrians, the Hittites, the Pharaohs, and the Hebrews … One hundred years ago the British invaded it. Their invasion was the most dangerous, because they deliberately arrived to give our land to the Jews. .. In the end, Palestine fell under the Zionist occupation, which continues today … The occupation will cease to exist just as what was before it ceased to exist… All of the invaders were defeated, and Palestine returned to be free and Arab.”

“Palestine is destined for full liberation … from the yoke of Zionist colonialism.”

“Palestine will be liberated and purified from the occupation’s [i.e., Israel’s] defilement.”

“The Zionist invaders will go to the garbage can of history.”

“The liberation of Palestine will only be achieved through armed struggle.”

“At the end of the period of French colonialism … they all fled to France and left Algeria to the Arabs and Algerians. Algeria’s experience assures that the Jewish settlers in Palestine will disappear in the end.”

Last week, PMW released a video compilation of PA/Fatah leaders preaching to groups of children and adults about how Israel is destined to disappear and that Palestine instead will be free from the river to the sea.

Here are several more examples from just the past two weeks of the PA’s indoctrination of children that Israel will be erased, that history will “restored to how it should have been,” and that “Palestine – all of Palestine” will be liberated.

Fatah Shabiba Student Movement Secretary-General Hassan Faraj: “We have come here to reemphasize that the [Fatah] Shabiba [Student Movement] remains loyal to the alliance, and is carrying the flag until the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine, Allah willing.”

PA Ministry of Culture employee Maryam Muammar: “Jafra, O tribe members. Bird of love whose voice is pleasant, sing to the blue skies, Palestine is my land. [The bird] will say: Jerusalem is free, it is forbidden to the enemies, [as are] Haifa, Jaffa, Acre (i.e., all Israeli cities), and the West Bank”

The PA’s efforts to manifest a future without the existence of Israel does not just stop with children. It also preaches this to international groups that it perceives as allies, such as the Spanish General Union of Workers:

The French leader should have looked beyond Abbas’ diplomatic smiles and empty talk of peace. Abbas’ Palestinian Authority continues to indoctrinate its children, glorify violence, and deny Israel’s right to exist.

The message broadcast on official PA TV — that every Israeli must be “expelled from Palestine” — is not an isolated one. Rather, it is the consistent and official message of Abbas’ PA.

Until the PA ends its campaign to erase Israel and teach hatred to the next generation, every meeting and promise of “peace” remains nothing more than a calculated deception.
