Palestinian Authority (PA) schoolchildren are taught to “Free Palestine” and have it replace all of Israel, while Israel is to have no right to exist within any borders and must be destroyed.

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 within any borders.
